'Allow yourself to be enchanted by Corca Dhuibhne (West Kerry),a land of stunning impressive mountains, spectacular coastline and sandy beaches.
Spend time in a place rich in tradition, literature and culture, where our native Irish language prospers but most of all spend time in a beautiful house where you can marvel at the splendour of its surroundings with every modern convenience the house offers privacy and comfort.
There is few places in the world that will thoroughly take your breath away as the view from inside or outside or on the patio of the cottage overlooking Clogher Beach /Sybhil Head and the 3 high points called the 3 sisters /mountains and the vast Atlantic Ocean,,, the most photographed point of the most scenic of drives .the home is only 20minute drive from idilic Dingle town

This is no ordinary cottage, quite apart from breath-taking views from every windows,the house is utterly delightful and comfortable with oil fired central heating,wooden floors and subtle decor which sets the tone in this tranquil hideaway. Situated right at the heart of what
National Geographic calls it 'the Most Beautiful Place on Earth .The spectacular views of the rugged cliffs which make up the coastline can be seen from every window of the house.


It overlooks Clochar Beach, Sybil head,The Three Sisters, Mount Brandon,Smerwick Harbour..It inspired classic films such as David Leans 'Ryan's Daughter' Tom Cruise/Nicole Kidman epic 'Far and Away'.




Situated on the Panoramic Slea Head drive and the Dingle Way,10Km from the quaint fishing town of Dingle, Golf links, horse riding,hill walking, and beautiful safe sandy beaches close by.


Sheep graze the lush land around the Stone House.
You can walk through the fields attached to the house and feel the freedom of living in the country also you can walk to the cliffs through the fields and sit on the stone wall and watch the waves and the ocean and the surrounding hills and cliffs and feel the peace and tranquility seep through your body!!

The house is probably the best situated on the dingle peninsula with views that awe-inspiring, the pictures that accompany this sight are all the the views you will experience from you visit.

The Kindest of Wishes;
Philomena O'Connor

    The house is amazing. Waking up to the ocean views in the master bedroom. Sitting in the living room or dining room with ample views and a charming fireplace. Everything as advertised and then some.To make things better, after I made a mistake on our checkout, the owner was so kind and allowed us some extra time to gather our items. A true gentleman.

    We loved staying at the Stone House! We stayed for two weeks in November. It was comfortably warm, spacious and cosy, tastefully furnished and well equipped. And the view is really to die for!

    NO words!!! THIS Place!!! Still beyond the pictures and description! We thought it was too good to be true and was ready to be disappointed! It just can’t be as amazing as the pics and description AND the price! Owner, Brian, was the nicest! We wanted to sit down and have dinner with he and his wife! To wake up with the sheep Baahjng and cows mooing, the horses on the far ridge and the amazing view! The house was so accommodating with the 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths and a powder room! Such a warm, cozy, home! We did not want to leave! Just no way to recommend this beautiful paradise high enough!!’And you are right on the Famous Slea Head loop! Brian, thank you for an incredible memory of a lifetime for our family!!!

    This was our 3rd stay with Philomena and Brian in their perfect, lovely, traditional Irish Cottage! As always, the view and the area is the most beautiful in all of Ireland! The hospitality cannot be outdone, everything you need is already thought of and done for you, ready and waiting! It is hard to leave but, you will return again & again! Thank you both for the dream vacation you have always provided for us!
