This was the most beautiful cottage with a gorgeous view over Great Blasket islands which changed according to the weather several times a day. It was very well equipped and spacious and so so peaceful. The nearby pub is excellent and surprisingly busy!
The location was superb. It faced the Blasket Islands and was a two minute walk from Krugers bar. The house itself was very spacious and beautifully decorated.

Super Location. Lots of walks and nice driving routes to choose from. Pub with food nearby.
A more private outdoor seating area.
The house was a little hard to find but completely worth it. The view alone from the living room - I could have stared out those windows all day. Really comfortable - they had everything we needed, linens, napkins, hand and dish soap. I would go back!
Maison chaleureuse avec une superbe vue.

The location was exactly where I wanted based on my previous travels to Dingle and being familiar with the area. The place was very spacious and beautifully furnished with heaters and a nice kitchen. We liked the view and its cleanliness too.
Since in the instructions that the host sent to us before the arrival was mentioned that the heating system works overnight automatically, we didn't touch anything, but the system didn't work or was on a very low degree, and we realised it in the morning. We couldn't sleep very well. Two of the bedrooms were very cold, specially the one next to the kitchen, so for the next night we turned the electric heater for a couple of hours there.
Our views were exceptional and stunning with good weather. Brian, our host, was very responsive to any queries. Kitchen provisions were superb.
A beautiful house with an even more beautiful view. We found everything we needed inside. The mattresses were very comfortable. I recommend this place to everyone. I hope we'll stay there again.

Le coin feu et les bûches laissées, la flex sur l horaire d arrivée, l endroit qui se prête a des promenades.
Excellent location, responsive host and very comfortable house.. The kitchen is better equipped than ours! The views were amazing, the proximity to Krugers pub was handy and there was an added bonus of superb weather. Highly recommended.
The place and location were absolutely stunning. The views were breathtaking and it took about 15 minutes to reach the coast by foot. We only had contact with the host via text but they were really nice and accommodating. We loved to light the fireplaces in the evening and cook something in the fully equipped kitchen. The beds were also really comfortable and it was great to have two separate bathrooms. We would have loved to stay longer.
It was a bit cold but there were enough electric heaters, blankets and two fireplaces so it wasn’t an issue in the long run.
Beautiful house, had everything we needed, very clean and comfortable. Perfect for our family weekend away, would have liked to have stayed longer! We will be back again ☺️
Lovely house with beautiful views..the house had everything you could think of..nice and spacious, cozy and warm!!! Krugers bar literally 2min walk down the road-great atmosphere!
Amazing view and location. Very comfortable bed and good facilities
Wood burning stove in living room out of order. Small electric plug in heater not adequate for this big room. This room potentially provided the best View of the Blaskets , but unfortunately windows looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in months , so view was obscured. I felt the pick up time for key was very late at 5 pm and check out at 10 am was quite early . If you are only there for a day or two , it’s not good value for money. Most hotels/ homes have a 2 pm check in and 11/12 am checkout. I understand there needs to be time for cleaning between guests , but 7 hours seems to be excessive, given the house was pretty basic .
The location is perfect for people who are interested in being secluded from the main hotels area, but not too far away so you can always drive to Dingle for dining and shopping. The house is large and provides common areas where you can spend time together with your friends and family, including a dining area and a living room. Lastly, the remote location allows an amazing view of the night sky when there are less clouds - a real treat if you are a city dweller like myself :) For those who are interested, there is also a bar 100 meters away from the spot.
One of the showers, unfortunately mine, had two showerheads - one with very low water pressure, and one which burns you and cannot be changed to lower temperatures. A good shower would have made a big difference to me. Another issue was with the heating stoves - we tried lighting them up on the first night, and found out they were not working properly. The room got filled with smoke and we had to open all the windows in the house; not fun when it's quite cold outside. Lastly, while I don't need anyone greeting me at the door, it would have been nice to see the host at least once during our stay. I did get an email to check up on us, but no contact beyond that.
The house, the surroundings, the appliances overall were to a good standard. The house is really charmingly decorated and you feel home right away and you certainly don't want to leave! There are a couple of attractions nearby and walks can be done from the house.
The heating was a bit tricky to figure out, maybe there should be clearer instructions on how this kind of storage heating zone system works, so it can be adjusted better and to not waste energy.
Everything was amazing, perfect location far away from hectic city...bar...1 minute walk. View from house perfect...regardless of the weather 😀 very well equipped, fire place awesome!
I stayed only 3 nights ... that was a bad choice ... should have stayed there at least 3 weeks ! 😀
Views, accommodations, well equipped home away from home!
Not really a dislike, just suggest for foreigners unfamiliar with the water heating systems to provide instructions; similarly location of nearest food store since there isn’t really one in Dunquin
Everything !! Spacious. Amazing view. Modern. Warm.

Beautiful house... immaculately clean.... very comfortable....
It was a very spacious house in a beautiful location. The views were amazing. The house had everything we needed and was really comfortable. The host was very accommodating and answered any questions we had. Would definitely go back again!
Amazing location. Fantastic views of the Blasket island. Spacious and warm. 1 minute walk to Krugers pub. We'll equipped kitchen and living areas. Really luxurious showers and bathrooms. Underfloor heating is lovely. Almost perfect (see small things below)
Garden could do with some attention as it looks a bit shabby. We had trouble identifying which house as it didn't match what the pics of the inside looks like. Doesn't do the interior justice. No tea towels, only one dishwasher tablet and an old washing sponge. Only little things really.
