Leading up to our week-long stay in Ireland, my brother, sister and I were particularly excited about staying in Dingle. John and Eilis had achieved legendary status before we'd even arrived and man did they live up to their loftily assigned titles. We couldn't have been happier with the house, the pub, the food, the town,or the hosts. Everything was picture perfect, and the pictures don't even do the place full justice.

We arrived on Wednesday afternoon and had a couple of pints in the pub before letting John know that we were going to be his guests. He led us up to the cottage and we were instantly taken aback at how amazing this place is. Very secluded-feeling yet only steps from town and from the ocean. Great views to be had from the back garden. A little babbling stream was running behind the house. The rooms were charming and very clean, as was the rest of the house.

After settling in we went back down for supper and to hear the hosts play some traditional music. We didn't hear better trad Irish music than that night. It even brought my sister to her feet for a few steps after some prodding by her older brothers. Eilis' voice brought tears to her eyes as well.

John and Eilis' cottage in Dingle was absolutely wonderful and everything made such a lasting impression on us. We have already highly recommended it to family and friends and have only been back home for mere hours now. Thank you so much!
