Amazing home away from home
Amazing home away from home
What a special place. This home is perched just above the beautiful Coumenoole beach, on a spectacular Slea Head drive. The views and the surroundings are stunning. You are immersed in a small village life in the midst of the rugged beauty of Ireland.
The home is filled with charm and artful touches throughout. It's spacious, clean and offers all the comforts of a home.
You awaken to the amazing ocean views and go to sleep to the sound of the waves. The kitchen is very well equipped and lacks nothing for home made meals. Not only does the area has so much to offer, staying in at the cottage is just as enjoyable, as there are plenty of comfortable places in the cottage to cozy up and read. There is an extensive book library and the CD selection is fantastic. We had the most wonderful stay and would love to have the opportunity to return some day.

This was a spectacular property and a wonderful experience for me and my two adult daughters to spend three nights around Christmas time during Covid. The home was clean and cozy. The kitchen was wonderful.Local hiking was great. The Neanderthal ruins were interesting. I have recommended this location to friends and I’m sure that we will return again sometime.

We stayed at the house for 3 nights and really enjoyed our stay. The views are stunning and the beach is stunning and only a few mins walk away. The kitchen is well equipped. There is no TV which is a problem for some people. The nearest shop is 20 min drive away and its about 30 min drive from Dingle. Would have preferred white sheets and towels, just a small point. This is for people who like tranquility and getting away from it all.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this home. We loved that the contents and decor remain authentic. We were left wanting for nothing. We called it "home" for the duration of our stay. Coming home after walks out on the Head, the living room was a cosy inviting space greeting us on our return. We could not fault our stay here and would love to stay again.

Holiday in Coomenole
Holiday in Coomenole
We really enjoyed our stay in Coomeenole. The house is lovely and very comfortable. The decoration is smart and restrained, and the simple structure of the original house is preserved, with a well-equipped kitchen added to the rear. We had a couple of minor issues early on, but these were dealt with very quickly and without fuss. We travelled around the peninsula but also spent many hours just looking out the Blaskets and ‘An Fear Marbh’. A really beautiful part of the world, and a wonderful holiday.

This site house is stunningly located overlooking Dunmore Head the most westerly point in Ireland and Europe, and the now uninhabited Blasket Isles. Don't come here expecting mild gentle weather for your stay, we had several days of very strong winds, exhillerating but not for those who want their hair to look perfect all day! The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. There isn't a TV which was no loss to us, but an excellent relevant book collection is provided by the owner. The WiFi connection is pretty good given the remote location though phone coverage patchy. The house has been very thoughtfully decorated and fitted out using local crafts people. The local people are incredibly friendly, and many are Irish speakers, this being a gaeltacht area.

Incredible location, neighbors ten meters away right next door.
Incredible location, neighbors ten meters away right next door.
My wife and I stayed here for nearly two weeks, we loved the Dingle peninsula of Ireland with its dramatic coast line and gale force windy weather. From the pictures of this house on the Home Away website you don't realize that this house is located directly beside another two story house and yet another smaller house just below. If you're expecting seclusion you will be disappointed, especially since the tremendous view is completely mared by thousands of daily tourists fighting for parking at the nearby parking area. It's a shame really because simple honesty from the owner could have gone a long way, the neighbors were charming and not a problem at all and the views are absolutely stunning. Fortunately the tourist hoards don't really start until 10:30 a.m. and are usually gone be 6:00 p.m. leaving wonderful views of the rugged peninsula without the tour buses.
The house itself is very charming, they've done a lovely job of maintaining its historical charm combined with bright colored furniture and comfortable beds and bedding. If you expect simple things like a microwave to reheat your tea you will be disappointed, no microwave, but the other appliances are new so you've got that going for ya.
Perhaps the strangest/silliest oversight is that the INCREDIBLE view on the first floor, where you will spend all of your time, is blocked by two very large shrub bushes which could easily be removed or transplanted.
Bottom line, keep these facts in mind so that you are not disappointed expecting total seclusion or privacy an visit this area, you will not be disappointed with the beauty, the charm or the views.

Shelia’s house set the standard for our three week trip up the west coast of Ireland!
Shelia’s house set the standard for our three week trip up the west coast of Ireland!
We went rowing in Dingle Bay in a modified curach, a traditional fishing boat, with a member of the Dingle Rowing Club;
went hiking to the edge of Dunmore Head;
found field mushrooms and watched seals on Blasket Island;
ate black sole, hake, monk and other local fish;
listened to the fiddle of Jeremy Spencer, accordion of Meabh Ni Bheaglaoich, guitar of Matt Griffin, and lovely singing of the owner of John Benny’s;
followed a farmer herding his sheep from one pasture to another up the road to Conor Pass;
awoke on our last full day here to a double rainbow arching over Dunmore Head;
for the first time burned peat in your fireplace, having burned wood and coal in fireplaces all my life;
Planned to write a book of travel poems that will include one about our stay here.

I can't say enough great things about this house and location. It was such a beautiful place to stay, the views are amazing and the fact that you can just walk out to Dunmore Head or Coumeenoole Beach is incredible. We found the house to be very comfortable and well appointed and communication with Shelia was easy. The library greatly enhanced our experience as we were able to read about Irish history and the culture of the Blasket Islands. I felt lucky every day that we were able to stay at this great house.

The property has million dollar views of the Blaskets and Dunmore and Slea Head and is steps from Coumeenoule beach. It’s a traditional Irish stone cottage with all the mod cons, including dishwasher and washer dryer and internet. The interior is extraordinarily tastefully done in keeping with the spirit of the home. Comfortable beds I’m bedrooms with gorgeous sea views, a complete kitchen with cows grazing put the back.

"Wow!" is what we heard from each others lips as we got out of our car at Sheila's place in Coomeenole. The 360 degree views are awesome. The house itself is an immaculately kept rustic home that is comfortable for living and lounging. We were two couples who loved the kitchen! It was a terrific space to create meals, gather to plan for the day, then sit with a glass of whiskey or tea and reflect on the day's events.

Great rustic, but comfortable cottage in fantastic location.
Great rustic, but comfortable cottage in fantastic location.
Great rustic cottage in fantastic location. Well maintained and has everything needed to feel comfortable. Driving is tough in the area with two-way, one-lane roads. Suggest to get the smallest possible car that still holds all the luggage. Great fishing off the rocks at Dunmore Head in walking distance.

Best rental experience ever

This property is so special: while the pictures on this site are accurate and representative, they don't even begin to do justice to the spectacular setting! The house itself was immaculate and equipped with every necessity, as well as some important extras such as strategically placed light sensitive nightlights and the most excellent library of books and maps. Before arriving my husband and I were a little worried the distance from pubs/shops would be an issue because we wanted to minimize driving, but my concerns never materialized because there was so much to do right there in the Coumeenole/Dunquin area - hiking, reading, and generally relaxing! - and also we rented bikes which made Ballyferriter and Ventry perfect no-car destinations. Normally I am ready to leave a place when the time comes but this outstanding house and location made it tough to move on to the next adventure. Many thanks to Shelia for making the house available and appointing it so perfectly!

This was our first trip to Ireland and we had some situations with delayed flights and lost luggage and my wife got sick and needed some medical care. The owner of this property went out of her way with the help of her house keeper to make sure we were good. We appreciate everything they did to help answer questions etc.... The home was wonderful and was more than expected. This is located on a place that is one of the most beautiful places of the world. We are looking forward to coming back and have already share the information to some friends. We have already had one of our photos framed and have it up on our walls to remind us of this incredible experience.

The Perfect Vacation House
The Perfect Vacation House
Spent a week on the Dingle Peninsula and wish we could have stayed for two. Plenty of room in the 3 bedroom house. Had all of the appropriate amenities and kitchen utensils you will need. The perfect location for those who want to get away from everything yet still be close enough to civilization. Located by the coast overlooking Slea Head Drive and the Blasket Islands. Majestic views, spectacular sunsets, local hiking.... can not say enough good things about this house. The peat fires on a chilly rainy evening were just incredible. Thank you again!!!

Great cottage, even greater location!
Great cottage, even greater location!
This is a wonderfully restored old cottage in an absolutely perfect location in a magical part of Ireland. Located just above a small, gorgeous beach, just behind Dunmore Head and just below Mt. Eagle, with views of the Blasket Islands, the cottage could not be sited any better. The rooms are all lovely, the kitchen large and well-equipped. It is a great staging point for walking/hiking the Dingle Peninsula. I recommend it without hesitation or qualification.

Great location to explore Dingle Peninsula
Great location to explore Dingle Peninsula
The house was as advertised by Shelia on VRBO and in her emails leading up to the rental time. Written instructions for using the house and appliances were just enough to know what to do and what not to do. The house was clean and well maintained. There were no problems. The house included a very nice library and the table in the living room was great for spreading out our topographic map for planning the next day's outings. Given all the monastic and medieval sites that we visited, our time in Dingle turned out to be an amateur archaeology trip. As geologists, we really appreciated all the rock accents in the house! The west coast of Ireland is simply spectacular, so you won't have regrets if all you do is gaze at the ocean for hours on end. As the Irish say, "Brilliant". Kevin & Alison

Lovely stay amidst spectacular scenery
Lovely stay amidst spectacular scenery
We had a perfect vacation for the two of us at Shelia's house in Dunquin. The house is perched on the green hillside overlooking the cliffs and the Blasket Islands in the distance. It's a peaceful rural setting, with the surrounding fields full of sheep and cows. A short walk downhill brings you to a sandy beach with extraordinarily clear water. We had very good luck with the weather, sunny and in the 70s, and went swimming twice a day for most of our stay. The hillsides and lanes provide nice walking opportunities, with magnificent views.
The house is comfy and well kept, with a peat fireplace and stone table for outdoor eating. One front room works well for water colorists, with its pine table. (Shelia paints too). We especially enjoyed our meal at Ashe and the folk concert at St. James Church both in Dingle. The Dingle Peninsula ruins and the Blasket Centre are well worth visiting. The narrow roadways are a challenge to the US driver, but the views on the way make it all worthwhile. Shelia has been very helpful to us. Thank you, Shelia!

Quiet and calm

This property was everything we'd hoped for when we chose it. We wanted something removed from the hustle of society (though we didn't find much hustle in Southwest Ireland...which was perfect!). If you are looking for a place that is several years removed from the present, this is the place. Not to say that it doesn't have all of the modern conveniences you'd ever need! The house is VERY clean, comfortable and cozy. We had 70+ MPH winds one night that even made the car shake, but inside we were very comfortable, sitting and reading while listening to the wind whip around this very sturdy stone house. It was heaven.
Shelia is very knowledgable and helpful concerning the area. Take her advice on where to eat (Ashe's Bar and Goat St. Cafe in Dingle are amazing..). We didn't want for anything, it was all taken care of and provided in the house.
Also, just FYI, read the information that Shelia leaves. We skimmed it, and 2 days before we left, we reread it and realized that there was a shortcut back to Dingle on the Maum Closach (sp?) road. We'd been driving through Dunquin and Ballyferriter all the way around to avoid the tiny road around Slea Head! Oh well, it's a nice drive too!
Thanks again, Shelia. We loved your house and our time there!

Heaven on Earth

This house and surrounding landscape is exactly what I thought our dream Ireland vacation was going to be. The house had all the comforts that we needed and I especially enjoyed the library. The "neighbors" were always glad to see us when we provided their daily treat of apples and carrots. It is hard to explain the comfort you feel just sitting outside at the picnic table with the view of the Blasket Islands, and the smell of the green grass, ocean breeze, and peat smoke out of the chimney. When you do venture out of the house, the history of this wonderful place is literally around every corner. The 700+ pictures that we took cannot do this area justice.
The town of Dingle had just about everything that you could need including some very interesting and friendly people. Tom and Paul at the Dingle Pub became familiar faces and welcomed our family into that establishment like we had known them for years. The meals that we did eat in town were spectacular. I don't think I had a bad meal the whole time in Ireland.
Shelia was as helpful as any one person could be. She always answered any question we had in a very timely manner and gave us some very good tips and advice before the trip had started. She was just a real pleasure to speak and deal with.
Betty had the house spotless when we arrived and was friendly and courteous in matters of what was expected of us during our stay and before we left.
All in all, it was a trip of a lifetime and we are already making plans on returning with a few more family members as it would be selfish to keep this remarkable place all to ourselves.
