My husband and I stayed at this Old Irish Farmhouse as a half-way point on our 8-day walk of the Dingle Way, and it was among our favorite lodgings. It was so beautiful, unique and comfortable that I want to make a special point to disabuse others of the 2018 review by "Sierra" of Aedan's place. First, Aedan is a full-time sheep farmer but, even during lambing season, he responded to all our messages promptly. Second, there are many very fine updates to the house--the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms--all super comfortable and charming! We had a beautiful room with a view of the ocean, a lovely private bathroom with high-pressure shower, and a huge, modern kitchen/dining area that is so stocked with food for a self-serve breakfast--cereals, fruit, numerous types of breads, eggs, meats, juices, tea/coffee--that, frankly, our jaws hung open; we'd never experienced an Airbnb with such abundant offerings.
Third, the experiences we had at the farm were what make the Dingle Peninsula so magical. We helped bottle-feed the baby lambs. We were invited to stroll their pastures where literally 1000-year old beehive huts still stand (and serve as sheep shelter), and we had the nicest long chat with Aedan's mum who shared family stories like only the Irish can.
As for the reality that this is an Irish farm where animals roam and sometimes get into mucky things, yup, that's why it's called "Old Irish Farmhouse". Take your boots off at the door, chat it up with the hosts and friendly fellow guests, and give yourself over to a wonderful stay.
