Stayed for a week in Fionn Tra. The house was fantastic. Very spacious for our big family. Large kitchen diner connects to living room thru double doors. Good size utility room too with large clothes horse, perfect for drying on those wet days. There are 4 toilets in the house including 2 ensuites. 4 lovely bedrooms. 2 double downstairs and a double and twin upstairs. Also a futon sofa bed in the twin room. We noticed a baby cot too. There is a big shed out back The kids had a great time playing ball in the garden and talking to the cows in the field right next to us. The sun sets at the back of the house which meant we enjoyed BBQ and drinks relaxing on the picnic bench in the evening sun. (We brought our own portable BBQ). The only small quibble I have is that there were only a few towels provided which meant we had to pack bath towels for each of us as well as our beach ones.
The location of the house is perfect. 5 -10 minutes walk through the dunes to beautiful Ventry beach, stopping every evening for a couple of pints of the black stuff in paudi o sheas pub on the way back to the house. There is a shop with milk and bread accross from Paudis and a bigger one in the village.
We walked easily to Ventry village one of the days along the beach. I recommend the horse riding at Longs. It was one of the highlights of the trip.
The house is a short distance from Dingle town for the craic agus ceol. We drove in the car and got €15 taxi home. Collected the car easily the next day.
Overall, the family agreed it was the best stay we have had in terms of the layout of the house and the accessibility to activities in offer around Slea head and dingle and of course the beach.
Patrick and Mary were lovely hosts. Great communication and a warm welcome. Patrick offered us a late check out too which was really appreciated. We left something behind us and Patrick has offered to bring with him on his next trip to Dublin. 5* service. Thanks a million!!
