“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.

“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.

“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.

“What a heavenly home!” This was such a beautiful home in a great setting. It was well-equipped with everything we needed whether for cooking, cleaning, relaxing, or sleeping. Having a washer and dryer was such a help as we were there for one week. The kitchen had everything one needed as well as the entire home. I cannot say enough about this home as it was so perfect!! The owner was so helpful and gave us great suggestions for places to eat as well as information about the area. We were a group of 5 women: 3 from the us and 2 from Denmark and it was such a relaxing place to start and end our days while there. It was so clean, comfortable, and felt right at home here. Wi-Fi was available too. Also loved the location as out in the country next to a babbling brook. Close enough to town and great to come home to such a beautiful setting. I know we all loved it here and I would recommend it highly to friends and family. And I hope to return one day.

“Very relaxing stay at this wonderful retreat.” This place exceeded our expectations in every way. We really liked it! The caretakers of this location were very helpful and provided us with lots of information that made checking in very simple and straightforward. They also had a little book with all the info we'd need to find/use amenities in the house. The house was very spacious and we appreciated the many books/tourist pamphlets that were made available to us. The area is very quiet and relaxing and the view behind the house is spectacular. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone, particularly large families looking for a place to stay while in Ireland. The house is close to many attractions and very accessible.

“The most beautiful location and fabulous cottage I've stayed in” First of all, Philomena O'Connor, the hostess keeps a very clean, well-appointed, and beautiful cottage. I've stayed there many times. To me a sign of a good place is the repeat business and she has a lot of repeats. The home was lovely, very Irish in its decor. Enough rooms to be comfortable but not to be lost in. Philomena always makes the place look welcoming on arrival: a fire laid; heat turned on; fresh flowers; and usually something new since my last visit. I love being inside looking out on a gorgeous view of the fields running to the sea with islands off the shore. Being out of doors is wonderful too for there are roads to walk, hills to hike, wild flowers to see along with farm animals,and fresh, excellent air washed by 3000 miles of ocean before reaching me.

“Wonderful” My Apologies to Freda for taking so long to write this review, My stay at Castle View was more than I could have hoped for on my first trip to Ireland. Freda was so accommodating and kind when it came to sorting the business out of booking. The cottage was perfect, Modern , clean and bright and because we stayed in November the open fire place just lent so much more to my Irish experience. The pubs are walking distance, the locals were so fun and interesting as I am sure we were to them as well ,,tons of belly laughs that's for sure!. Vaughan's Anchor Inn serves up incredible dishes absolutely 5 star cuisine and a short walk from the cottage! The beach and the Dock are also so close by and even in November it was lovely to explore! Doolin was fun, traditional music at O'Connors , the place was packed and fortunately we got to experience listening to a story teller, I never heard a bar that packed become so quiet I was in Awe!! The Cliffs were close bye and it was terribly windy, and breathtakingly beautiful . I was able to pick up all my souvenirs for my friends and family back in Canada right there at the Cliffs Of Mohar..a place I only visited in my imagination since I was small.. Thank you Freda so much and Trish I hope we did not leave you to much to do when we left, Thanks for leaving the key under the mat as we arrived pretty late.. Hope to return one day was a trip of a life time and banked in my favorite memories for ever!! Blessed!!

“Idyllic!!” We stayed here at Easter break. Fairytale setting for kids with access to the milking in the evening and space to run around all day. The house itself is so well equipped and warm yet very cosy and full of character. The location is ideal, rural setting yet only a mile outside the bustling town of Skibbereen. I cannot praise archies and the welcome we received at abbey Farm Holiday Homes. Highly recommend a visit!!

“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.

“The most enjoyable experience we ever had” the service was excellent could not wish for any better,the home was spotless,the location is beautiful,there was nothing about the home or the place that we did not like,so much so that we cannot wait to go again MW

“Wonderful” Stayed here recently and was very impressed. The house is very well equipped,the view is marvelous and the owner was exceptionally welcoming. It is our plan to return asap! P & R

“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!
