"Ideal house everything u wanted was there."
Home from home peace and quiet. Ideal location for touring. Beach only a short walk or drive and miles of sandy beach for walking. Even bailey our dog enjoyed it to stroll around the garden or stretch out in sun. It's up a short bit of a lane so away from the road and safe. Property and house was spotless. Thank you.

"A lovely property with nice views."
Accessed by a very sharp and narrow turn off the road but you get used to it. Well-equipped, with utility area for putting the dog stuff. Enclosed back courtyard but if one of the side fences were a gate it would be much better - the front door opens straight into the property and a sandy/wet dog has to be taken through the house! Beds very comfortable and the rooms a good size. Great location - 4 minutes drive to the nearest beach.

"We found the house to be very warm and comfortable with the heating and hot water on an automatic timer which was very adequate and we had no need to alter it in any way."
The kitchen had all the appliances we could need. We were very pleased to find a welcome bottle of wine, tea, coffee and biscuits - a very nice touch! Whilst we did not meet our host, Michael was very attentive via WhatsApp and replied promptly if we asked any questions and checked in with us to know that all was well. The house is in a beautiful and scenic area with lots of fabulous drives on the Dingle peninsula and a gorgeous beach nearby. We were blessed also with very good weather in which to enjoy our surroundings. The towns of Dingle and Tralee were great to visit and on one of the duller days we visited the very interesting Kerry Museum in Tralee. We would recommend this house very much.

"A wonderful property in a great location."
The house had everything we needed and our host, Michael, couldn’t have been more attentive about making sure we were settled and didn’t want for anything. I would highly recommend. :)

"Absolutely beautiful property in a stunning location."
It’s the sort of property that you walk into and immediately think you could happily live there. The weather wasn’t the kindest in Nov / Dec but it didn’t stop us enjoying our stay and would highly recommend even off season.

"We had a wonderful stay in this lovely holiday home."
It was perfect for us and our extended family with plenty of space for everyone. The house is very comfortable and well equipped and in a great location too. We enjoyed lots of dog walks on the nearby beach and there is plenty to do in the local area. Michael was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. We were lucky with the weather too which helped make our stay so enjoyable. We are looking forward to returning next year.

"Our fist trip to Ireland and Finn House made our holiday a memorable one."
Set in beautiful surroundings, the house is spacious, warm and well equipped for a self-catering holiday. Mike, the host is really friendly and contacted us once we arrived to check everything was ok. There were so many little touches that added to our enjoyment in Finn House, even a starter pack and fuel for the fire. The area is great to explore with the beaches and Connor Pass – not to mention Dingle itself which is a lovely town with a good tourist information centre providing many leaflets of the surrounding area and towns.

"We had a wonderful holiday at Finn House."
The house itself was outstanding, so comfortable and spacious and the kitchen was extremely well equipped with everything we could possibly want. It made cooking feel like home from home. We had some memorable family meals sitting around the big table. The smaller table in the conservatory was lovely for breakfasts enjoying the moods of the mountain. One of my favourite spots was sitting on the sunny mezzanine, reading and looking out at the lovely views to the sea. The area was spectacular and so peaceful and relaxing. |Communications with the owner were excellent. We had three generations of family with us and everyone loved it. I have been holidaying with Sykes 3 o4 times a year for over a decade and have been to some lovely cottages but this is our best yet. We will definitely be back again.

The owner is a helpfull and friendly host. We can highly reconmend Finn‘s house.

"Absolutely first class accommodation."
It had everything we needed and was clean, spacious, comfortable and warm. The little touches like a welcome pack and starter materials for the fire made it very welcoming. Mike, the host, greeted us on arrival and made sure we had everything we needed. We really enjoyed Finn House and will be coming back.

"The detailed directions to the property were accurate and necessary given the very private location, but be aware that the turn off the main road is very tight."
The generous welcome pack supplied on arrival was certainly welcome! There were just the two of us in this large 4 bedroom cottage so we had plenty of room to spread out and a choice of which bedroom to pick but there’s more than enough room for comfortably sleeping and dining at least eight people and 3 separate living areas to spread out in for a day inside if the weather is bad. The large kitchen/diner is the heart of the house but views from the mezzanine landing were terrific in both directions. All the rooms in the cottage have great windows so there’s plenty of light, ventilation and views. The night sky views are exceptional. To top things off, there’s four spacious bathrooms, all of a high standard and 3 are ensuite. There was good water pressure in the shower, plenty of hot water and towels were good quality although oddly, there was no bathmat to be seen. You’d need to be pretty picky to fault this cottage which has everything you could need for a relaxing stay. Our only small disappointments were that the walk into Castlegregory was further than we’d hoped and the local pub/restaurant (Tomasin’s) was already closed for the winter.

"Our first visit to Ireland and when we arrived at Finn House, our first impressions were what an absolutely beautiful cottage."
It was immaculate and great attention to details. A welcome package on arrival was much appreciated. Every room was spacious, clean, welcoming and beautiful. We loved sitting by the open fire on an evening. The underfloor heating was such a luxury especially on a morning. The beds were so comfy and extra blankets provided (not that we needed them). We enjoyed cooking in the large kitchen and it had everything you coujld need. The cottage is ideally placed for Stradbally beach, only 2 minutes drive away. The beach there & scenery was spectacular. Mr Finn rang us to make sure everything was okay with cottage and we thanked him. Sadly we didnt get to meet him on last day as we had to leave early for long drive to Dublin Ferry. We would 100% recommend this cottage to anybody wanting a lovely break in County Kerry.

"Loved Finn house, we stayed there 7 years ago as well."
House and location was amazing. Downstairs beds were very hard and uncomfortable other than that brilliant. Fitzgeralds pub did lovely food and was amazing inside. Xx
-
"Our second visit which did not disappoint."
Great location. Property is of a very high standard and comfortable. Thoroughly recommend it.
-
"Lovely house in a fabulous location."
Very private and peaceful. Really comfortable and well kitted out. Mike was great to deal with. Already booked for third year in a row next year and hopefully with the same weather too! The beaches are incredible , good restaurants and pub nearby. Absolutely love Stradbally/Castlegregory.
-
"Amazing house."
Very comfortable. Fantastic location. The best was communication with the owner.

"Had a lovely stay at Finn house would highly recommend it's a lovely house with ..."
Had a lovely stay at Finn house would highly recommend it's a lovely house with amazing views , did find the beds a bit hard but that's just a personal choice,just a couple of things in write up said there was a dvd and cd player but there wasn't either ,wasn't a problem as such as two year old watched the junior channel on TV in the end While using the oven you will find smoke alarm goes off as you open oven door

"A fantastic house in a beautiful location."
Walking distance from the beach and local pub. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
-
"Finn House is beautiful with every thing you need in it with a secure area for a dog set in a lovely location with the Kerry mountains as the back drop and views of the sea to the front the beach is just down the lane opposite and the local bar/restaurant isn’t a two minute walk the hosts are really helpful and welcoming but they are trusting and only contact you via texts to make sure your ok and if you need anything you can text them and they respond immediately and leave you to enjoy yourselves."
We would definitely recommend this holiday home and will return ourselves

"The accommodation was excellent and exactly as advertised, spacious, clean and well appointed."
Great location with stunning views, easy to find
-
"The property owner (Mike) was very welcoming."
The cottage was incredibly clean the decor was beautiful and very homely. We were greeted with a welcome basket of coffee, tea and biscuits. The view of the cottage looking into the mountains was great and at the amount of money we paid, it was a good deal. Arranging the key drop off was easy and the area was only a 20minutes drive to the town of dingle. Plenty heating and hot water and was lovely to sit by a full fire in an evening. The beds were also extremely comfy. We slept 10 hours a night! Couldn’t recommend this place more. Everything was perfect! Thank you very much Mike. We will definitely be back!

"Finn cottage is a lovely place to stay, very clean with everything you need for your stay."
Michael Finn the owner accomadates you every need. We have just had our third stay at the property and already looking for our fourth. We'll done Mr and Mrs Finn.

"We loved the house - it was all and more than we expected."
Was delighted with how well stocked it was with tea, coffee, cleaning agents and a welcome hamper was a considerate touch. Michael was very responsive and helpful. Would recommend. Susan

"Lovely house and great location."
Spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for the week. The surrounding area is beautiful with stunning beaches so my dog had an absolute blast too. Having a great pub/restaurant at the end of the lane is a real bonus. Loved it so much I’m booked again already for next year!
-
"Our stay at the Finn’s home was exceptional The stone faced house from the outside and grounds were magnificent."
Inside the home everything was perfect as well. We had 4 beautiful bedrooms all with their own full bathroom. Our favorite spot was the sun room off the kitchen that overlooked back court yard and mountain above. We enjoyed most of our meals and conversations in this sunny room. Another great room was the living room where we had a peat fire most nights it was so relaxing to sit by the fire and just chat with family and friends .If you want privacy this is the house for you yet just down the lane is the main road to Dingle and Tralee and beaches and Tomasins restaurant and pub. The home was spotless and beds were extremely comfortable .We have stayed at the Finns home 3 times now and we’re going back again, in the spring of next year to probably the finest home on the Wild Atlantic Way.

"The house and gardens were beautiful."
The house was very clean and had everything we needed. It's in a beautiful location and we really enjoyed our stay.
-
"Finn House is exceptional."
We rebooked before leaving. Spacious and extremely well furnished. Looking forward to visiting again.
-
"We simply had a perfect time at Finn's house."
I could list out the reasons why, but, if you are reading this and are intending to visit this part of Kerry, don't hesitate to book. The house itself is beautiful - wonderfully kept, warm, well equipped, private and perfectly situated for visiting the best of the area. An extra note; as we were booking at a difficult time in the midst of varying covid conditions, arriving to a welcome hamper started everything off on a wonderful note.
-
"House was situated around everywhere we wanted to go."
Close to beach 15 minutes got you there walking. Pub and lovely restaurant just down the lane where house was situated. Conar pass and Dingle only minutes away. And our dog bailey enjoyed it as well . Closed in yard at back was great for him. Peace and quiet was lovely. House was lovely and cosy especially when u had a turf fire lighting. Would highly recommend this house. We will go back again maybe next year.

"The Finn house was fantastic."
The home was beyond any expectation you could ever imagine. You have the beautiful mountains behind you, which we climbed to the top of and the 12 mile beach in front of the house which we walked to and enjoyed every day. The home was so private I thought our family might be the only one staying in the village. But just walk down your own private road and Tomasins 5 star pub and restaurant was right there. The home was excellent I couldn’t believe every one of the 4 bedrooms had their own bathroom. Off the kitchen was a beautiful sunroom where we enjoyed our full Irish breakfast every day. Off the sunroom was a beautiful outdoor area for outdoor dining or sunbathing or just having conversations with friends and family while looking up at the mountains beyond. The heating system was awesome but to top it off if you wanted to really relax and get in the mood you could just light a peat fire in their fireplace and feel the incredible history of Stradbally village come to life. In my opinion you wont find a better place to stay in Ireland! I’m from Boston but I’ll be back every year to stay at the Finn house to rekindle our love for the Stradbally/ Castlegregory area on the wild Kerry coast.

"Great location."
Gorgeous views all around. House very good except no free view and dvd didn’t work in latter part of the week. Beaches spectacular and a fantastic pub and restaurant/takeaway down the lane. Really worth a visit.

-
"Wonderful house!"
!!! Perfectly located for all the main attractions and gorgeous beaches. The house was clean, spacious and well equipped with everything you could possible need. The owners were welcoming and friendly. Would highly recommend this house!
-
"As usual, Finn House was an amazing place to get away and relax."
The house is immaculately kept. The owners are friendly and easy to communicate with. It's a perfect jaunt to the beach. The perfect place to get away from it all. (If you need wifi you'll have to find another place to stay.) This is definitely a place to unplug.
-
"Very picturesque area."
Good experience with garden birds. Owner very friendly and welcoming.
-
"A lovely four night stay and the cottage was so much better than we expected from the photos."
The cottage is in a really quiet location and was really spacious and even with the terrible weather meant that we had plenty of space with 4 adults and 2 children. Most of the bedrooms are ensuite and there is a family bathroom. The kitchen has everything you need and the utility room with a washer and a dryer were really helpful to have. The only things I would say is that it could do with wifi and we would have been happy to pay extra for this so is something for the owner to think about. Also some of the soft furnishings and bedding upstairs could do with an update as they are a bit old fashioned but saying that everything was clean and tidy so not a big issue and we were out a lot exploring the peninsular. The cottage is really quiet and has a fantastic view of the hills behind and also the sea at the front. There is a mezzanine level with a sofa which is great for relaxing on and reading. Maharanees Beach is beautiful and we enjoyed exploring Connor Pass, Dingle, Fahan Beehive huts and the basket Islands visitor centre. The Peninsular is stunning even in bad weather. Castlgregory had some good pubs and shops for essentials. We would love to go back in the summer months when we could take advantage of the great water sports in the area. We would definitely book the cottage again.

"The Finn House was just fantastic - there wasn't anything we needed that wasn't provided."
From the welcome basket to the information provided, the house was so well equipped. More special though, was it was warm and welcoming, perfect for our family with plenty of room to relax and take in the beautiful views. Wish we had more time to just linger for a few more days and explore the area. We enjoyed the evenings my the turf fire after a full day of exploring Ireland. I hope one day we can return.

"As usual your service was great ."

"The Finn House was wonderful, as advertised."
A relaxing and beautiful place to stay, and close to beach, town, and an easy trip to Dingle, Slea Head, and beyond. We can't wait to get back.
-
"The location of finn house is what sets it apart."
You get a beautiful house which is close to the beach and close to shops and bars but is still so idyllic.
-
"Amazing House, everything was thought off for us when we arrived."
Mr Finn was so friendly and even left us a hamper with tea, coffee, biscuits, milk and WINE!!!! We had an amazing holiday, met some very friendly, polite and funny locals. The pub at the bottom of the lane did an amazing Chinese take away.....yummy!!!! Ned Natterjacks (try saying that when you have had a few) was the most friendliest pub I have ever been in, the live music was out of this world. Food was fabulous, and they baked my friend a great anniversary cake! We didn't want to leave. We are already looking at booking our next holiday to Ireland and can't wait to take the kids to Finn House. Thank you for letting us rent your amazing house. All the Best A Court and friends xx
