Cecilia's Inch Beach cottage is a light-filled yet cozy 3-bedroom cottage set on a hill overlooking beautiful Inch Beach, with south-facing picture windows offering a spectacular view not only of the beach but also of the mountains of the Iveragh peninsula across the sound.
The cottage is located on the Wild Atlantic Way, a stunningly scenic (and sometimes hair-raising, at least for drivers unaccustomed to narrow Irish roads) drive along Ireland's rocky west coast. While at Cecilia's be sure to visit the town of Dingle, about 30 minutes away (many shops and restaurants, and at least two groceries). And from Dingle you can do the Slea Head drive, which offers breathtaking coastal views that you simply should not miss.
The cottage has central heat with an oil burning furnace and radiators, as well as a fireplace, all of which we appreciated as we visited during an unusually cold snap. The kitchen is very adequately equipped, in case you choose to prepare meals at the cottage. American visitors will need to consult Cecilia's clear instructions re: turning on and off the switches that enable the stove, open, furnace, electric shower, etc. to operate.
Cecilia was a wonderful host. She was very helpful in arranging "Plan B" when we required a change in dates. She communicated promptly and helpfully throughout the process--and even had some of her wonderful homemade apple scones waiting for us upon our arrival.
We very strongly recommend Cecilia as a host, and her Inch Beach cottage as a wonderful place to stay during your visit to Ireland!
