Philomena's place was exactly what we wanted for our experience of Ireland (including the people of Ireland) and the Dingle Penninsula. The remoteness and beauty were peaceful and breathtaking, and at the same time, the cottage is conveniently located just off the Slea Head Drive and it didn't take long to get to Dingle for a bit more activity if that's what we wanted. We most appreciated having Brian and Sharon meet us and check in with us. They made us feel like we were welcome guests, of both their cottage and their country. You can literally walk out the door of the cottage and access some of the most spectacular scenery in the world and lots of great hiking. We also loved building a fire in the fireplace every night, and especially appreciated the excellent book Sharon put together with instructions and information about the cottage and the Dingle Penninsula. Outstanding!
