  • "The house was in a lovely quiet location and plenty of land around it Good size rooms and nice to have the additional bathrooms As a hospitality operator I think a few little changes would provide the nice finishing touches to make it a 5 star experience."

    Such as Personal Greeting on arrival Welcome Pack with a few local ingredient items Welcome guide explaining how things work in the house , dishwasher , washing machine , heating etc More focus on the provision of quality kitchen items , cooks knives , whisks, serving dishes , bowls , Baking trays , chopping board , matching cutlery , glassware Doormats to catch muddy shoes / boots Additional set of house keys as can accommodate in excess of 8 it would be great if the porch had Hanging rails , coat hooks and shelves for hats etc

  • "Good house design for a family party and well-located for visiting the Dingle peninsular."

    Caroline was very helpful in providing a high chair and cafetiere and for keeping in touch to remedy shortcomings. However many issues to be addressed by the owner - see below: House Book - the property would greatly benefit from having a house book as a guide to appliances, heating and general local amenities etc Fridge - broken lower shelf and seal. Had not been cleaned by owner staying previous week. It is also far too small for the house capacity which should be a consideration on replacement. TV - replaced on arrival but not able to be tuned. Fortunately we had no use for it given good weather Table Football - no ball and players broken so unusable. Appears to have been in that state for some time so why advertise it as a feature. Glasses - Not enough to make up a set of 6 of the same type Showers - 2 over baths should have a shower curtain/screen Towels - Ideally should be bath-sized Iron - leaks badly Oven Door - loose Keys - couldn't open patio doors. Set of 3 keys in basket did not work on any doors. Lights - some had blown. Fireplace - not set and no wood for first fire. Again not an issue for us but don't advertise it if it's not provided. Overall a pleasant property but above maintenance issues left poor impression to justify rental. NB Cleaniliness rating would have been better but for the state of the fridge on arrival.

  • "The house was lovely and Caroline was very helpful."

    The dishwasher wasn’t working on arrival and was replaced by Tuesday but given cost of rental would have expected better. Towel rails beside handbasins and toilet roll holders would have been nice. Also lots of dead light bulbs

  • "This house is just superb."

    .. Idyllic location and an absolutely stunning property. It was so clean and well presented this is our second time staying at this property and loved it just as much as the first time. Simply gorgeous.

  • "The house was great."

    Thought it could have done with some outside furniture and a barbecue though. Also, there was not enough cutlery but apart from that I though it was great and comfortable.

    It's well equipped and great house for a family to base themselves if visiting west Kerry.

  • "Maison spacieuse."

    Au calme, bien située pour visiter la Péninsule de Dingle. Nous avons réservé avec Booking.com. Du coup pas de numéro de la propriétaire impossible de la joindre pour savoir comment récupérer les clefs et vous n’avez jamais répondu à nos appels. Nous avons trouvé la maison grâce à Google Maps

  • "A lovely location and spacious property."

    Massive bonus to have 4 bathrooms. Very comfortable living area but could be enhanced with the addition of a television downstairs in living area. Also the addition of Wi-fi would be a massive bonus to an otherwise lovely property.

    Lovely spacious cottage. Well equipped. Wet room particularly helpful for washing down wet suits after surfing. Wifi and or UK TV channels would have been great although perhaps we would have seen less of the area and just watched more of the Olympics!
