Nora was the perfect hostess. The place is a bit tucked away, which made it all the more charming, but her directions brought us right to the front door with ease. We were greeted with freshly baked scones, a bottle of wine and the warmest of welcomes. We felt immediately comfortable and at home. Tom Mikey's has an upgraded cottage feel to it and is surrounded by sheep farms with baby lambs, and the ocean. It was a magical setting. The air is so clean it felt healing and when the sky clears at night there are a million stars to gaze upon. It is about a 20 to 30 minute drive into Dingle which we did in high winds and rain with the help of our decicated cabbie Pat. We were rewarded for the effort with comforting pub grub and amazing traditional Irish music at The Dingle Bar.
Dont miss staying at Tom Mikey's and if you can, stay a while. It is the exact Irish experience you are looking for in every way.
