The views were magnificent and the village was a short drive away. The location was quite and relaxing There are several beautiful beaches in the vicinity and Dingle can be reached quickly via the Conner pass. There are several well marked hiking trails around the village and the views are amazing. I am considering returning next year for several weeks.

The heating was a bit difficult to understand at first but then not a problem. We were staying in winter and it was good to have a fire. The kitchen roof leaked a bit but no problem. I would stay there again and we loved our time there. We hope to be back!
