This charming cottage is located behind what acclaimed travel expert Rick Steves personally recommends as one of the best pubs in the charming town of Dingle! Location-wise, you really couldn't get anything better as this is right downtown with easy walking access to everything. You can walk down at night and listen to lovely live music in the hosts' pub! Before arrival, John's communications were prompt, clear, and friendly. We came in the off season and got what we felt was an incredible value. The home was exactly as described and if anything was even more spacious than I'd anticipated. The interior and exterior paint colors are so bright and cheery. The beds were pretty comfy and the house was extremely clean. Bathroom amenities were quite minimal, just a couple of plain towels and no soaps or lotions are provided, so be sure to bring all of your own. The kitchen is lovely and efficient, with nice quality pots and pans and a washing machine. Everything worked perfectly. The outdoor patio and clothesline is cute if you get a sunny day. I also liked that the indoor heating worked very well -- this was probably one of the warmest places we stayed during our trip to Ireland.

Best of all, the host, John, is extremely close to the cottage so is always promptly available to meet up for any questions or concerns. I would recommend this home for anyone traveling with friends or family.

Special note for families with small kids: the house comfortably accommodates 4 guests, but with the big couches, extra pillows, and large rooms, I'd say that if you were traveling with children, you could easily fit up to 7 guests!

Also, if you have a car (which you probably do to have gotten this far), the drive around Slea Head is extraordinarily beautiful and easily accessed from Dingle. Be sure to do the unmarked (but visible from the Slea Head road) hike up to the peninsula on the left at Clogher Head -- it was unforgettable -- one of the most memorable parts of my entire trip to Ireland.
