I would definitely recommence Dunquin Cottage. The scenery is absolutely magnificent and the cottage deliciously comfortable. Nan's house rules will appeal to any globetrotter. Dunquin is as remote as it gets, yet if you are checking in nightly you will find all you need for a snack and a decent night until the local store opens... I took great pleasure following those rules in leaving a jar of honey carefully chosen from one of our local beekeeper in Cork.
The possibilities around the cottage are infinite, viewed from the sea the coast is absolutely breathtaking and the wildlife omnipresent. Viewed from the hills there are days of trekking to be done as the most famous walks are passing by... it's all signed. The original historical crossing to the Blasket Islands starts from Dunquin!
Last but certainly not least there are plenty of restaurants nearby for seafood but a car is absolutely needed....
