“The host went the extra mile at this house.”

Provided scones on arrival, sufficient cleaning products (eg dishwasher tablets), washing up liquid, enough firewood for the week and plenty of towels. These are simple things but are absent from most holiday homes; what set this house apart from many others was the generosity of the welcome. The house was perfectly clean and well presented. The host was available any time for questions or to offer help Could not recommend highly enough.

“The cottage name An Nead means The Nest in Irish and it really suits it as it is so homely and comfortable.”

The scenery is breath taking. The cottage had everything we needed. There is a reading nook stocked with lots of books for young and old. My daughters loved the bedrooms. So cosy and pretty. There is a good size garden. When we arrived the owner met us to show us around the property and left us some milk and freshly baked apple cake which was very nice. It is about a 10 to 15 minute drive to Dingle main street and loads to see and do there. It is 10 minutes to Ballyferriter where there is a gorgeous cove near the Louis Mulcahy pottery shop that is well worth a visit. After our days out it was always lovely to leave the busy tourist spots behind and go back to An Nead to unwind. It is by far the prettiest authentic cottage we have ever stayed in and if the visitor book is anything to go by, it seems to be very popular with a lot of guests having returned a few times and planning their next stay.

“Really gorgeous location and the host was very attentive and when we arrived late came to meet us at a nearby pub to 'guide us in'!”

she had also lit the fire and left us fresh cakes and milk. although a really wonderful cottage and location for walking, We were disappointed with description of the beach being a 10 minute walk, the beach was in fact Brandon's Creek, and took half an hour and not suitable for sunbathing or swimming on. Other than that all well.

“Our family had a truly wonderful stay at An Nead.”

The cottage was lovely; clean, comfortable and welcoming. The views from the cottage are spectacular - the ocean, mountains, farms and sheep can all be seen from the cottage grounds and windows. The cottage contained lots of information on the local area for us to explore. Slea Head Drive is not to be missed! We enjoyed walking the nearby hiking trails and driving the short distance to town. Dingle is a lively, friendly place with pubs and shops. An Nead is an unforgettable place and we hope to visit again!

Miss Bosanquet May 2015

“We had such a lovely stay at the cottage.”

The owner has made it incredibly warm and cosy. There is everything you could need and more provided; books, kitchen equipment, games etc. Its location is great for seeing the Dingle peninsular and it has been decorated to enhance its traditional character. Thank you.

Mr Mitchell May 2015

“A traditional stone cottage, which was beautifully located/isolated in beautiful landscape, which is just what we wanted.”

The scenery and landscape views wherever we went were amazing. Roads were very quiet so it was a perfect retreat from city life and traffic jams. Despite the rain, I don't think we could complain about anything relating to the holiday at all.

- Mr Mitchell, May 2015
Mrs Pesantes November 2012

“If you go one of the road towards the beach is just beautiful!”

I would advise to bring raining boots, so you can walk more comfortable. Everyone apologized for the weather, but we did not mind at all. We will come back! The cottage, exactly what we wanted. Everything perfect!
