Our stay at Noreen and Dermot's was in the second week of January and the weather, according to all we talked to, was unseasonably cold. Indeed there were several days it snowed and hailed. The heat in the house was tricky to work with and took me a few days to get the hang of it. Waking up was very cold but once the heat was turned on it worked quickly. This is only important to know if you are staying during very cold weather. The house is spacious and spotless and includes everything you require including washer, dryer, dishwasher, electric kettle, french press, television (we enjoyed catching the evening news) dishes, pots pans and some spices. Noreen greeted us warmly and gave us a rundown of nearby grocery stores and restaurants. The farmhouse and main house sit on a hillside that stretches all the way down to the beach of Brandon Bay. It's a short walk down the lane where you can enjoy the glorious view with the cows and sheep that live there. Only a few minutes drive turns R560 into the breathtaking Conor Pass, which in 20 minutes puts you in the town of Dingle. The location was perfect for us to explore the Dingle Peninsula and to drive up the coast to the Cliffs of Moher. Dermot recommended we take the Tarbert Shannon Ferry which was an extra special treat. Our week in Ireland was perfect and made possible thanks to Fort Farmhouse!
