We enjoyed ourselves and had a nice time. We would definitely return

My father is from the Maharees on the Dingle peninsula. I thought what a wonderful way to celebrate our delayed 50th anniversary by two years was to bring our kids and the grandkids back home to celebrate with our family who still live in the Maharees. We were so thrilled to find this beautiful home in the country away from the bustle of the town. The kids had a nice yard to play in and they could walk down the road to the beach and climb up a mountain. We were greeted by the dog across the street and the mooing of the cows ……just a touch of Heaven. When we left something behind of value, Niamh was more than happy to get it returned to us postage free. All Our needs were met and we didn’t lack for anything. we would highly recommend this to families who like to celebrate the quiet charm of living in the countryside of Ireland

The house is very well situated and equipped. There is a secluded beach a short walk away that we all enjoyed.

Dídean provided our 11 adult family with a perfect holiday home for our week in Kerry. Perfect location just 5 mins walk from a lovely beach (a bit dodgy at times for swimming) & only 15 mins from Dingle. Some great restaurants & pubs in Dingle, Ventry & beyond. Trish solved our few issues immediately. Would love to return.

The property was great and suited our group. We ate in a lot so enjoyed the space to cook and eat. Lovely big garden just right for the children to play in and family games of boule tennis and badminton. We didn't use the television,! Wonderful beach close to property. Really enjoyed the week.

We had 12 staying at the house. The setup was great with the kitchen as the focal point of the gathering. Kitchen is well set up with all that you need. The windows in the kitchen and deck were wonderful. The bedrooms and showers were nice. It is a short walk to a beautiful beach. We walked every nite after dinner to hear the waves. We did have a cow stampede as we were coming up the .road to the house. It was a magical week in Ireland. Loved the Dingle area. My only wish was that the house was closer to Dingle.

Great location, great house. Beautiful! Family of 12 plus and infant !

The property is set in the beautiful countryside just outside of Dingle. We found it to be a great jumping off point for day trips or easy and conveniently close to town to explore. This was the 2nd time we've stayed in this home and it won't be the last!

Not only was our vacation to Ireland, especially Dingle, magical, but the Dingle house was the icing on the cake! The house description was spot on but so much more beautiful in person. Very well appointed and comfortable and accommodating for two people or twelve! Spectacular 360 degree views surround the property and a short walk to the tranquil private beach adds to the charm. Niamh and Frank are gracious hosts and not at all intrusive, but very readily available if needed. The location is perfectly convenient for sightseeing the Dingle Peninsula, traveling the Ring of Kerry, shopping the streets of Killarney, or just staying home with a good book and watching the horses play and cows graze in the back fields! We will be returning to Dingle again and when we do, this is where we'll stay! Words don't do this property justice!

Beautiful property, plenty of space and bathrooms. 4-5 mins walk from a beautiful beach. We couldn’t use the outdoor patio as it was raining. But given the opportunity we would’ve. Quiet place and 12 mins drive into Dingle. Would definitely stay there again.

The house was beautiful. Spotlessly clean and even nicer than the pictures show, especially the bedrooms. Loved the fact that house is located 200 yards from a small beach that very few seem to know about with cliffs as a backdrop. Perfect views, sunsets & sun trap although access to swimming through the surf was a task in itself!!

We had an amazing week in Dingle. We were a group of two families, 4 adults, 7 children (ages range 4 - 13 years). The house was perfect for our needs. It is clean and bright with 6 large bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. It’s location within a 5 minutes walk to a beautiful beach was the highlight of our holidays. We had the beach to ourselves most of the time and the views were amazing. It was a 12 minute drive from Dingle which is full of lots of lovely shops and restaurants. We would recommend this house and beautiful Dingle 😊

Overall very good. Beautiful location and a spacious comfortable house. Internet connection was inconsistent.

We had a lovely time staying here for the week. The house was perfect for our extended family holiday. Close to dingle and within walking distance to a little stoney beach.

This house is better described as a home since it has all the convenience details you leave behind when taking a vacation. We particularly enjoyed the hill walking with its stunning coastal views. The house was a good base location for trips to many of Kerry's wonderful sites.

Lovely location and true to description. Few minor problems e.g. couldn't open washing machine as we didn't tug hand enough for fear of breaking the handle but probs quickly sorted. I would say the equipment needs some updating, tumble drier makes an alarming noise and house needs some TLC in places but we enjoyed our stay

Ten of us, plus baby, were handsomely accommodated in this pleasant residence with truly beautiful views of the Kerry mountains and seashore.

Very happy with this home. lots of bedrooms and especially bathrooms!! loved the old world charm of the dairy farms nearby, kids looked forward to seeing the cows and sheep almost every day!!! The site manager was very responsive when we had questions. We would stay here again. awesome to be so close to the beach.

This beautiful, comfortable home is perfect for a large group, and makes a great base for exploring the breathtaking Dingle Peninsula. There were 10 of us traveling. My husband and I rented the house to celebrate my 60th birthday. We were joined by my two sisters, one brother-in-law, my 94-year-old mother, and a niece and nephew and their spouses. The house suited us perfectly. The younger folks stayed upstairs, where there are two bedrooms, bathroom with Jacuzzi, and a sitting room. The skylights reportedly provide star-gazing opportunities right from the beds. Meanwhile, we older folks were very comfortable downstairs, with four bedrooms (two ensuite), another large bathroom, and a powder room. There was also a inviting parlor, a big lovely kitchen, and a large dining table that accommodated all of us. The dining room has three walls of windows so we could fully enjoy the fabulous views. There is also a laundry room, which was so convenient. The check in was super-easy. We were met by Colette, who was friendly and informative, and who turned the heat on for us so the house would be cozy upon our arrival. The scenery in the area was spectacular. It was just a two minute walk from the house to the beach, and also the start of a nice hike on Bull’s Head. The house is only 10 minutes from Dingle, where you can enjoy the pubs, shops and restaurants (the Fish Box is especially wonderful). We also loved all the breathtaking sights of the Slea Head Drive, and enjoyed going over the Conor Pass to explore the north side of the peninsula. I would highly recommend Didean cottage, and would totally stay there again!

Our family stayed in the winter months, for several weeks. Our stay was delightful. The house was cozy, the walk to the beach was just perfect. We loved waking up to cows in the yard and seagulls crying and the sound of the ocean. We got a chance to meet some of the neighbors, who were very friendly, and someone's lovely black dog who visited us each day. She joined us on our daily walk to the beach or around the neighborhood, and the whole family fell in love with her. The house is about 10 minutes from Dingle. The local grocery stores are good. Supervalu has some great sales, and Lidl's prices and produce selection are great. This was important to us because we were staying a long time and didn't want to spend $$ eating out all the time. If you like brown bread with your soup, Courtney's bakery in Dingle makes the most amazing "Dingle Health Bread," which you can get at Spar or the Texaco convenient store (always crowded, very popular with the locals!) when the bakery is closed. The kids always fought over the last piece! The town was very quiet when we were there as many businesses were closed for the season, but the ones that were open were wonderful. We met kind and helpful people at the produce store (Kingdom Fresh), the cinema (Phoenix), Dierdre's, the stained glass place next to the church, Dingle Aquarium, Explorer's World (Roy was amazing with helping the kids learn), and Catriona's (a hair salon across from the marina where they cut my daughter's bangs free of charge! Thank you, Catriona). We really enjoyed crepes from the crepe stand in town when it was open. The linen shop was also great, they had such beautiful things, from nightgowns to table linens. Many of the restaurants were closed, but the ones that were open were all good. We didn't have a single disappointing meal. We especially liked Dierdre's Cafe for lunch and Fishbox for dinner. My one criticism would be that all the restaurants (except the Chinese and pizza places) had basically the same menu, so it was hard to find variety. Novecento, the pizza place, was excellent for take out pizza. We very much enjoyed a drive around Slea Head and all the sights on that drive. Also close by are horse back riding at Long's Riding Stables, Inch Beach, Minard Castle, and Tralee and Killarney are both about an hour away and worth the drive for a day. We had a fabulous extended stay at this lovely home in Dingle!

Myself and my three children, my mum, my brother and his son and my two sisters and their families spent a week in this wonderful part of Ireland at this lovely accommodation. There were 15 of us in total and we had a fabulous time. We were met upon our arrival by Collette who welcomed us 'home' and showed us around the house and was very helpful and informative. The house was in a lovely and peaceful area and only a few minutes from a deserted beach where the waves of the Atlantic crashed the sunrises and sunsets were incredible. The town of Dingle was only 10 minutes away and provided excellent food, pubs and a little more hustle and bustle. We climbed to Eask tower, which was worth the climb, drove across the Connor Pass (several times) which was amazing, had a boat trip to see Fungi the resident dolphin (who we saw up close and personal), went body boarding and did the Slea Head drive (a recommendation from Collette) which was amazing. The accommodation was fantastic with ample room, great facilities and perfectly located to provide tranquillity but within really easy reach of the busy town of Dingle. We were very lucky with the weather which was beautiful for the whole the week but enjoyed one of the most memorable stays in fantastic accommodation in a wonderful part of Ireland. Thanks Niamh and Frank and thoroughly recommended to other people thinking of visiting this area.

Lovely modern property. The large kitchen/diner is the central gathering space and is extremely well equipped. The house was spotless when we arrived with some welcome flowers and bottles of wine. The house is as described (do note that there are no turf fires or working wood burners) but the heating is generous and more than adequate. The owner, Niamh, sent us all the information we needed before check-in and has left lots of clear information about the house and things to do locally. The beach is a 10-minute walk and lovely when you get to it. The Dingle peninsular is breathtaking and the ECO boat tour to the Blasket Islands is unmissable if you are visiting in season. We used the local cab company for nights out in Dingle - great fun - and the Dingle Food festival is a great craic. I would definitely recommend this property for groups of friends or large family groups who want a comfortable base from which to explore the peninsular and the Ring of Kerry - a very special and magical corner of the world!

We were a party of 9 women. The house was perfect for us. Beautiful house with beautiful views every direction!

First of all the house - 6 bedrooms, 4 1/2 baths, and the perfect kitchen/ dining area to gather, with an adjacent deck when weather is nice. The house is very well maintained, with an extensive yard. Then, the location is perfect for a relaxing vacation, yet not too far (about 15 minutes by car) from the town of Dingle. It is a pastoral site, with a few dairy farms, and a short walk to a remote beach. Great for kids!

This is a very lovely home in a beautiful rural setting about 10 minutes out of Dingle. You can walk to a very private beach with amazing views. The home is well maintained. The expectations of the owners are that you will leave the home as clean as you have received it. There are very precise instructions on how you leave the home. They must have had some disrespectful renters in the past. Putting that aside, there was plenty of room for the 8 of us. Easily can accommodate more but the only dining table in the house can accommodate 10. There is a lounge or living space but it is a separate room. We found that we preferred to gather around the dining table and on the deck off the kitchen. Some of the outside patio furniture is rusted but still in good enough shape. The washing machine and dryer were fantastic, the dishwasher was great to have and there is a large refrigerator in the kitchen and a european size refrigerator and freezer in the laundry room. There is plenty of hot water with the use of the booster heater. The kitchen is well equipped and there is plenty of pantry space. Any concern or question we had was quickly handled by the owners. If you are clean and respectful renters you will love this home.

This truly was the perfect home and location for a family vacation on breathtaking Dingle Peninsula! My husband and I and our family all wish we had more time than the five wonderful days we spent at this beautiful home. We knew this home and its location were special as soon as we arrived - feeling at home and at rest in this perfectly equipped home in its idyllic location, with working farms nearby, views of horses and sheep in the fields and hills behind the home and cows across the way. We so enjoyed the short walk down to this location’s very special beach which lends grand views of the Atlantic Ocean and mountains beyond, especially when we were greeted and escorted midway to the beach by one very friendly dog of a neighboring family that seemed to enjoy the walk, beach and company as much as us. The home’s large, airy kitchen and dining area and its outdoor deck provided the perfect setting for our large family gatherings before and after busy days in the nearby Town of Dingle and tours of the west coast of Ireland, and at the end of each day we enjoyed a very comfortable night’s sleep. We were sad when our time at this home came to an end but hope to make it back in the near future. Thank you Niamh and Frank! We had a wonderful time!
