“Arriving Home at Didean in Dingle” I recently stayed for a week with five friends in this comfortable and accommodating house in Dingle, Ireland. It is located within sight of the sea and is surrounded by a beautiful landscape with easy walks just outside the front door. The house supported the six of us with ease. It has a well-supplied kitchen that allowed us to cook gourmet meals and to serve them in a nice dining area with gorgeous views through large window walls. The house is big enough for a much larger group. Each couple in our group chose a room with ensuite bathroom. Activities in other parts of the house are nicely segregated from the bedrooms and everyone got a good night’s sleep. The place is marvelously quiet. We would definitely stay at this location again when we visit the Dingle peninsula.

“Beautiful House, Magnificent Setting” This house certainly has the wow factor when you walk in. If you are looking for a private Ireland holiday home then this is it. Can't even describe the magnificent views that you see from the many large windows. Bright, spacious, clean and comfortable. Loved being able to do laundry and hang it out to dry in the sunshine. Spent many hours relaxing on the patio. Cooked several meals and had everything we needed. Had a cozy peat fire every evening. Kathleen and Timmy made sure we were settled in and had everything we needed-they are just super-nice people! We particularly enjoyed the Skellig Ring which was only 20min or so away and then over to Valentia Island and going up to Fogher Mtn. Also enjoyed Derrynane, shopping in Sneem and Caherciveen and the drive to Hogshead. A good daytrip was going to Beara Pennisula, shopping in Kenmare and visiting Glenquiliquin (many good hikes). I wish I had asked Katheen earlier in the week about what pubs to visit for local performances. This house far exceeded our expectations and I feel very lucky to have been able to stay here!

“A really lovely holiday home” In fact, this year was the second time we stayed at Brendans for our summer holiday. Brendans cottage is a charming, traditional place to explore Valentia and the Kerry coast. The small garden is perfect to relax, the way down to the strand is just a couple of meters. The cottage has all facilities needed - the kitchen is well equipped. Brendans cottage has a very friendly owner who did all to make our stay comfortable.

“Fabulous property in a beautiful location.” This was a holiday to remember. What a fabulous property in a lovely area with shops, garage, pubs and restaurant nearby and a beautiful beach in Glenbeigh, which we walked to on our first day there. The house had everything you would want and was very tastefully decorated. It was lovely to see photos of how the house had been built with details of the family and the wedding in Italy. We liked the peace and quiet, the beautiful scenery and the location, which enabled us to access the Ring of Kerry. The Irish people, as I have experienced before, are lovely people and make you feel very welcome. The service from Sykes Cottages was excellent. Thank you for an enjoyable and memorable holiday. Wish we were still there.

“wonderful” We absolutely loved this house for the week that we were there! If we ever came back we would stay there even longer. It was a great location near the bottom of Mt. Carrantoule and near Killarny and had every convenience, was new and modern and the yard was beautiful with fresh blackberries we ate for breakfast (in the fall).

“Lovely base for a family holiday” Very easy booking process and easy liaison with local housekeeper. Spacious and comfortable family holiday base with all key amenities and facilities. Beautifully located below Mount Brandon with great mountain views. Easy access to the whole of the Dingle Peninsular with its outstanding mountain views and seascapes. Excellent local pubs in Cloghane and Brandon. Small local shop with supermarket at Castlegregory 15 minute drive or 25 minutes to Dingle across the Connor Pass. Good beaches, fishing and walking nearby. Ideal area for a relaxing or an active holiday.

“a veryenjoyable stay” Heron's nest is well positioned to enjoy the dingle peninsula. The property is very cleanand spacious. The facilities are complete and any person or family staying at this cottage will be more than happy with all that it provides.d

“So much space, so much wood!” The title says it all. Good modern fittings, contemporary styling. Perfect for our group of 6 (including 2 young children). A great place to come back to in the evening. And we had good weather! (August, swimming in the sea...). While the cottage isn't close to amenities, it is well placed to explore the area - centrally placed for activities, beaches, walks. There's loads to do. My only gripe - it would be nice if the back yard was a garden instead. A lawn at least...

“Watch the sun set over the bay!” Quiet and peaceful but ideally placed on the Ring of Kerry. Large site which is ideal for kids, games Bbqs etc. The cottage is set on a minor road with little traffic close to the Kerry Way. Very well equipped and comfortable.

“Wonderful location” We were three adults enjoying a short break in the Dingle Peninsula. Brandon Mountain Cottage was very comfortable and spotless throughout. Great attention to detail here. The kitchen was well fitted out and lots of throws and rugs ensured we were comfy on chilly evenings. The views from the house of Brandon Bay and the mountains beyond were spectacular. A lovely walk to the beach as well as a vigorous climb to the summit of nearby Mount Brandon, added to the joy of our stay. Linda was very helpful and made us feel very much at home.

“Wonderful, Peaceful a home from home” We had a wonderful family holiday at this cottage. Everything one could think of was supplied. Our every need was met. It is the first time we experienced a house that thought of supplying so much even a food mixer and slow cooker. Our extended family want to go back every year. I am booking again for next year.

“Great place to stay for families!” This was our first summer holiday with our 2 year old son and our hosts provided us with a cot and a high chair for him. We were happy to find that the place was safe (sturdy banister, switches for plugs and oven, boilers in separate rooms) for a - supervised - small child and can recommend it without reserve for families (Being only in three, we used of course not all rooms). The cottage is located in a beautiful spot and we really enjoyed the clean, breezy air and the great views of both the seaside and the surrounding mountains.

“Magical Dingle Stay” My group and I were so well looked after at Garvey's cottage. Joan is a wealth of information, a wonderful cook,and a very generous soul. The cottage has wonderful ocean views with a short walk to the cliffs, and is perfectly located for other scenic tours/pilgrimages in and around Dingle. Dingle is truly a magical place with phenomenal sights, walks, and people. I would highly recommend anyone to come and stay here if they wish to experience something of the old and true Ireland. I miss Dingle and look forward to another visit.
