We loved staying here for 6 days with our kids (who loved it too). It’s super cozy and comfortable, and the area is so beautiful. I made daily walks on the beach, all the ways to Maharees, where the kids were having surf lessons for the week. I often had the beach to myself, which is quite an experience when your normal life is in a busy city!
Apart from surf lessons (at Jamie Knox’s Surf School —> definitely recommended) we had leisurely drives in the afternoon, clambered around cliffs, walked up mountains and generally fell in love with the Dingle peninsula. In the evenings we built a little wood fire in the cottage (we didn’t get round to using the sauna) and read books and we caught up on plenty of sleep.
Tomasins Pub across the road has good food (it’s wise to book) and their Chinese take-aways are really very good, especially the spring rolls. Oh, and go for a crab sandwich and some chips at Murphy’s on Brandon Quay. So nice! And the Murphy ice cream shop (no relation, I think) in Dingle is amazing too. Brown Bread ice cream is my new fave.
We only met Garry briefly after we arrived but everything in the house was totally self-explanatory and any subsequent queries we had were answered super promptly.
Loved it and would recommend the house - and Dingle - to anyone.
