An Clochán : locations de vacances

Magical postcard like views sucked us right in. This was my third trip to Ireland and the Dingle area was the driving factor to introduce my boys and family to ages 7 and 11. Castles to explore, rocks to throw sheep to stare at, a small yard to throw a football, and as a photographer, panoramic views on all sides. Paul’s place had it all for my family. Just wow! Hospitality is big for us and wanted a warm stay in Ireland. Greeted by Paul’s mom brought that welcome in heaps accompanied by some milk and cookie snacks to get us started as we arrived late. Paul had firewood on the ready for a cozy few nights in (few cabins provide wood for fires we learned) and heat was included and we even took the time to venture to the sacred well, stunning beach and castle just a 5 minute walk down the path. Dingle is pure magic and we enjoyed pubs and singing at night, the finest grocery store in all of Ireland supposedly for fresh produce, insane fish and chips from the Fish Box food truck.

Maureen is a wonderful host. We had a late check-in, she waited for us, told us how and what to use in the house, recommended places to visit, bought us food, which was very nice of her. The house is located on a tranquil street, but at the same time, there is a shop nearby and only about 30 minutes to the city center. All photos correspond to reality. The house has everything necessary for a comfortable stay, and we felt at home. Many thanks, Maureen, we had a lovely stay and will be happy to return to your home again!

Fiona’s house is a brilliant base for holidaying on the Ring of Kerry. The accommodation is spacious, lots of comfortable beds and 3 bathrooms with great showers, shower gel and shampoo in each. Communication with Fiona was excellent, she is available by text or phone call. She was very flexible with the check in and out times. We loved arriving to a warm house, as the heating was set on a timer. Everything was spotlessly clean and we were delighted with the welcome pack of fresh brown bread, butter and milk as well as plenty of fuel for the fire. The kitchen was stocked with the basic cooking ingredients and excellent cooking equipment. Plenty of books, games and jigsaws available for the whole family. We loved the location, 5 minutes by car to Cahersiveen with pubs and shops. And mountain walks, ancient stone forts, ruined castle and lovely beach on your door step! Very quiet location and a telescope in one of the rooms to gaze at the stars! We definitely would come to stay again!

Myra was so very helpful with recommendations of places to visit and see, took plenty of time to provide a local perspective of the best places to eat, visit and experience. Thank you so very much Myra!!!

‘Oh, you’re staying at The Cottage! Isn’t it lovely?!’ This from the owners of Foley’s, a cozy nearby restaurant/pub that we visited on our one night in the area. The Cottage is known to be an absolute gem, even among the locals who aren’t staying there. It is a super comfortable and well-maintained accommodation. I recommend the Pick Quick convenience/gas store a mile down the road for groceries and ‘world famous toasties’ (grilled ham-and-cheese sandwiches; they hit the spot). Our dinner at Foley’s - a few kilometers further down the peninsula - was delicious, and we were made to feel at home.

Denis is a wonderful host. The house is amazing. The location breathtaking. The whole group had a very comfortable and peaceful stay. Exactly what we needed. We are definitely going to return next year.

Lovely house, very well put together and very clean. Will definitely look to stay again. Great price and 5 min drive to dingle town

Danny and Jessie's place was exactly what we wanted. A home away from home. Peaceful, remote, but easy to get to local towns and villages by car. And the garden is absolutely stunning. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Highly recommend.
