Like the Tardis, Bernie's house is bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. There is a lovely walk up the valley in which the house sits. The peat brick burning fire gives out a lovely warming glow for cosy nights in and the garden has many different bird species visiting - pied wagtail, thrush, robin, magpie, blackbird, redstart, wren, and others. Dingle town is a 5 mile drive and there appear to be no local pubs that are dependably open - we were given two recommendations for the nearest just three miles away but in two weeks we never saw it open, but Dingle Town is great - buy your meat from Kennedy's butchers in Orchard Close off Main St and your veg from the greengrocers next door but one. Don't miss the music at Nelligans at the bottom of Main St. The local beach is simply fantastic and the cliff top walk has gorgeous views. Slea Head Drive took us three days to complete as there are so many beautiful spots to explore along it. Irish people are so friendly and helpful you will never be stuck wherever you are. As a photographer I totally enjoyed the amazing light and weather that was constantly changing. Best holiday ever.
