We have just returned from a fantastic 10 day stay in Katrina Marie’s beautiful house in Dunquin and we wouldn’t hesitate to return. The house itself was spacious and homely with all the mod cons we could need (wi fi, TV, cooking facilities etc.), which is an impressive achievement when you have 2 teenagers to please! The location was idyllic and the views from the house are absolutely stunning.
There are some great walks nearby including the school house walk, which we did most days, along with several lovely beaches. Dunquin itself is lovely, and there are plenty of activities and options for eating out in nearby Ventry, Ballyferriter and Dingle. We discovered our active sides with hill walking, horse riding and sea kayaking and were lucky to get a beautiful day for our ferry trip to the Great Blasket island. Katrina Marie and her husband Patrick were lovely hosts, really friendly, helpful and super-efficient in responding to any queries.
It really felt like a home from home and I would recommend Blasket Island View to anyone who wants to spend time in a great house in one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland.
