This was a great stay. The host, Myra, was wonderful. We were greeted with tasty scones and a half dozen farm fresh eggs. Myra provided us with ideas for our trips and places to eat. It was a quiet, peaceful place to stay. She had a two inch thick book with stuff to do--hiking, castles and much Irish history. I learned a lot from the book and when I return. there's much in it I plan on exploring.

Adorable 2 bedroom place with free parking

MichaelRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Very clean and very convenient, two sofas in the living area made it more comfortable than we were expecting from the photos. Patrick was very friendly and helpful and the place is in a great spot just on the end of town. The place was spotless.

Serene Retreat Dingle

RebeccaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The perfect stay in Dingle. The house is even better than we expected and had everything we needed. Brian looked after us and had a travel cot and baby chair ready for us at short notice. It’s a short walk into the town and the supermarket is very close by. Would highly recommend this beautiful property.

Brewsterfield Lodge Cottage.

MichaelRating, 5 stars4 months ago
A lovely little space, very close to Killarney if you're driving. The house was cozy and well decorated, had absolutely incredible views, and even has a cute little walk along a creek out back. The kitchen had everything you needed, but was a little light on some options - but other than that, the house was very well appointed. I'd recommend it for future stays!

The Old Milking Stall, Baltimore / Skibbereen

ErinRating, 5 stars4 months ago
I cannot recommend The Old Milking Stall (Tim and Barbara) enough!! I stayed there with my family for 4 days and it was more than we could imagine! Tim and Barbara themselves are so welcoming and helpful, they couldn’t be any nicer if they tried! They provide a thoughtful welcome hamper! And for their home it is gorgeous! So beautiful from the garden to the reading nook, it’s perfect for all! Their pet dogs being your friend is a bonus! If you need any help they are willing to do what they can from taxi advice to food recommendations! If you need a place to stay in Skibbereen, The Old Milking Stall is definitely the place to stay! Thanks again Tim and Barbara 🤍

Mountain cabin in a unique and peaceful location

RickRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Sophie's place was just wonderful! A peaceful and lovely cabin in a phenomenal location with breathtaking views. The cabin is charming, cosy and comfortable, exactly how it's described and pictured in the listing. Sophie is a true superhost! She made sure to light up the fire before our arrival so the cabin was warm for us, left some delicious free-range eggs from her own chickens and a yummy jar of homemade jam. She was extremely easy to communicate with and very responsive at all times. We were traveling with a toddler and Sophie not only put a cot and a highchair for him, but also a baby bath and some toddler toys, something we did not expect and truly appreciated the extra touch. I highly recommend Sophie as a host and her cabin! We will definitely be back!
