Summary: Host Brian was quick to respond when emailed. House was clean. Comfortable bed. Close to Krugers, Blasket Pier, Blasket Center (good place for lunch or tea/scone), hiking. Pleasant week.
Melissa S. Apr 12, 2024 11:00:15 AM
Summary: My friend and I stayed here 5 nights in March. All the pictures accurately depict how the home is. The house itself was spacious and cozy. There was a nice selection of kitchen tools to use. The water was always hot which helped to warm up after the damp days! Towels were included. We used the convenient washer/dryer during our stay, and it worked fine. The house was about a 12-15 minute drive into Dingle, and we used this as a home base to road trip during our stay. We enjoyed the home and would stay here again.

Summary: Small house - very clean - fabulous location
Edward C. Dec 2, 2019 03:12:54 AM
Summary: This cottage was wonderful and very comfortable. Philomena and Sharon were great hosts. Turf fires for breakfast and at night with a lovely hearth. I can't say enough about the beautiful location...great hikes, the Blaskets right outside and 15 minutes to Dingle town. Perfect stay and I slept like a baby for the first time in months.

Summary: Planning a wedding is not easy; planning a wedding overseas is by far one of the easiest and best experiences we've had. This was our first trip to Ireland & as we were getting married at Coumeenoole beach we needed a nearby b&b & this one was perfect. Brian met us at the house upon arrival to show us around & we quickly got settled in & went off to explore town. The house is less than a 20 minute drive to Dingle town but we so enjoyed the stunning views of the drive, we would stay there in a heartbeat again. Brian and Philomena made the process smooth & communicated every step of the way. I am so grateful to both of them for making our wedding week & first trip to Ireland so incredibly special.

Summary: This was my second visit to this cottage within the past year. We loved it even more this time! Definitely one I plan to book again!
Andreas H. Sep 1, 2019 07:36:46 AM
Summary: This house is so lovely, comfortable and absolutely clean, from the first moment we felt be welcomed. Philomenas daughter, Sharon, did the check in. She is a very nice person and was always busy to support us with everything we needed. We loved the little kitchen, where we found some tea , sugar, coffee, salt and other helpful stuff, which was very nice. Everything was so kindly furnished and decorated, we even found heat blankets in the beds :) We have been there for 1 week with two adults and three kids ( 17,15,14 ) and we found enough space for us. This house is very closed to all the amenities like the beaches, Krugers Pub ( The Westerly Bar in Europe, also known as the Bar in the movie "Ryan`s Daughter" ), the Blasket Centre and the Slea Head Drive. In the conclusion we had a wonderful time in this house and we definitely can recommend it. To us Dunquin is one of the most beautiful parts in the world and this house is a part of it. Thank you Sharon and Philomena!
John H. Jul 28, 2019 09:38:54 PM
Summary: Lovely cottage with everything catered for and with excellent views of the Blasket Islands and 10 minutes walk from the pier from where the ferry to the island leaves. A stunning setting.

Summary: All fine!
