Visit Dingle annually in December & always rent a 3-bedroom house. This house is priced at the much higher (usually pay €800-€1,000 this cost €1,500) end of rental market. So I was wondering what treats such a big price jump got us…..
Overall nice house, spacious with great heating in kitchen/ sitting room. Climbing the hill back to the house from the town is very tough. House located at back of the estate so it’s about a 15 min walk to the main street. There is parking for 2 cars near the house & then you climb quite a few steps down to the front door. I would suggest if you have mobility issues, this may not be the house for you.
Bedrooms are nice. Black out blinds but no curtains - an eye mask will reduce morning light. Busy estate with children outside playing so if a light sleeper bring ear plugs. No wardrobe or chest of drawers in ensuite bedroom, just a plastic rail to hang clothes, hangers provided. Wardrobes in other 2 bedrooms. Heaters in bedroom not working properly – prob just need to be bled as heat trapped at bottom of radiator. Never mentioned to host as did not want the hassle but I’m sure they would have sorted it if mentioned. Perhaps heating should be checked before guests arrive. Great lighting in main bathroom, good water pressure. Each bedroom could use mirrors.
Nice to have towels, hand soap and kitchen cleaning products provided - a hair dryer would be handy. You are expected to strip beds, clear bins, do recycling in the town upon departure. This is reflected in low cleaning charge.
Great wifi & a smart TV with Netflix etc. provided. Plenty of plates, cups, wine glasses but a frying pan & wok would be a welcome addition to the 3 pots provided. Small basic back garden with nice views over the town as you are high up (perk of that hill climb!!).
Overall a nice house, but expensive for what it was.
