Aedan's farmhouse was wonderful. We stayed a few nights in mid-April. It's definitely old and rustic and has its own charm. House was easy to find with Aedan's directions. The location is absolutely gorgeous with 180 degrees of the ocean. You cannot beat this!
Aedan was speedy in replies on email and provided all the info we needed and more. We totally enjoyed talking with him and learning about his family farm and his sheep and baby lambs. He made it into a very authentic stay and visit in Ireland, which we found wonderful. He also had a refrigerator for all guests to use which was great to store some food bought from the grocery store.
Our room with a double and a single (for family of 3) was small but we slept fine and comfortably. We turned on the heat as it was a bit chilly in the evening. Bathrooms were the original so it was pretty dated.
We arrived at the perfect baby lamb season so we had the great joy of holding the lambs and just watching them. Total highlight of our trip! Great photos! All our friends were in awe.
The showers were nice and hot although the floor was pretty old and the new house addition with the two toilets were a nice and a very useful amenity. You did have to go outside 3 feet to enter that addition, but no problem.
A few suggestions I would have to continue to make this into an even great+ place is to update the linens and towels in bedroom and bath, provide better lighting in bedroom, perhaps new flooring upstairs and provide ability to launder clothes. The kitchen area seemed like it hadn't been used for a while and probably was original. We didn't have a need for it, so that was fine. Value for what we got was great. In fact, with the renovations/additions, it would still be high value even if price increased.
We didn't have wifi but that was fine as the whole experience is to be on the farm and truly enjoy the Irish countryside so no complaints there.
Having a car was a must and it was "fun" driving on the left side, with the gear shift on the right! Dingle town is just about 15-20 minutes away and it's a beautiful, charming, small town with everything you need and more. We loved this place! We toured London, Dublin, Dingle, Paris, Cologne over 16 days and Dingle was our favorite by far!
We absolutely loved Aedan's place and hope to visit it again sometime in the future with his new additions, which will be awesome. Thank you to Aedan. You are a fantastic host and we wish you the very best.
If you want a real authentic place to stay as the Irish did years ago, and enjoy the untainted beauty of this land, out on the Atlantic Ocean... book with Aedan. You will be happy you did.
