8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
Not easy to get to but if you cherish a truly rural experience, this is it. Right on the water, cows and sheep surrounding, bird song, clover-scented fresh air. House is roomy, not as “glam” as advert suggests. Low furniture, hard chairs. Glorious views.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jun 2025
What a charming cottage that looks out over the water. It is 27 minutes away from Dingle proper, but there is a lovely little village about 8 minutes away. You are surrounded by sheep and cattle. It’s a wonderful hideaway. We loved every second.

Lovely spacious house in a beautiful wild location
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2019
I loved the location, it's peaceful and beautiful. While online it says Brandon the house is actually in Smerwick which I wish I'd known, but not the biggest deal. It was clean, and the kitchen was nice to use as well.
The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is as follows:
1-Star was lost due to the beds, which need to be replaced, they are just subpar, to say the least. We ended up leaving one day early because we just couldn't deal with sleeping another night in the beds.
.5 Star lost because of the overall comfort of the home, to mention just one example: the dining room table, albeit nice, is too short for the chairs so it's impossible to sit at the table and eat. We had to eat most meals either at the kitchen bar or in another room which was not ideal.
.5 star lost for the Wi-fi . While we stayed at the home the wifi was cut off one night due to a non-payment of a bill. While I messaged the manager early in the day about this issue (as per the instructions) the following day he didn't get back to me and I had to end up calling him about it. While it was eventually fixed, we were working from the location so it was a big inconvenience that the Wi-fi was not working for nearly 24 hours.
Finally, I also feel we were asked to do too much cleaning before we left. While the place was in no way a mess- we were there for a week, having to go around and empty all of the bins, take things to the shed, load up the dishwasher etc or face a higher fee seems silly. We paid for a cleaning service with our booking fee this shouldn't be required when leaving a property.
