Traditional stone cottage in beautiful West Kerry

Loved this cottage from the minute we walked in the door. Very clean and well maintained property. Nice touches left out for us from Janet and Eamonn. Many thanks. Would return in a heartbeat. I even drove the "Connor Pass" twice, uphill only!

Very good location. Beautiful setting. Very good spacious cottage (there were 3 of us). Off road parking. Quiet surroundings. About half an hour walk into Cloghane village. Lovely 'porter cake' left as a gift. Met Janet and she seemed very friendly and personable. Directions to cottage from owners very good indeed. Location great for visiting the Kerry area.

The cottage was well maintained and clean and we were made to feel very welcomed by our hosts. The location was perfect with Dingle only 30 minutes away by car. Great base location to explore the peninsula and just unwind and relax! We would definitely go back (family of four with twin 12 year old boys) in a heartbeat (even the boys loved it). The peat fires in the tv and living rooms were also much appreciated and used. The beds were also comfortable. I really can’t say enough good things about Direen cottage, but it is definitely a wonderful VRBO that me and my family highly recommend. A+ accommodation for our needs.

We really enjoyed our stay at Direen Cottage. A favorite photo from our trip is my husband standing in front of the drive saying he doesn't want to leave.

We arrived on a dark and raining night. Fortunately Eamon was in Tralee and we were able to follow him to the cottage or else I don't know if we would have found it! We were a little unsure of the location when we first arrived, feeling like we were far from anything. Because it was off season, the pub in Cloghane was not open and a lot of local pubs in the area were not open. But, the store in Cloghane was open and they had all the necessities if we missed anything. And, once we explored and realized it's just a 20 minute drive to Dingle over the Connor Pass (a little nerve-wracking for American drivers, but we've done worse in the mountains of Colorado or New Mexico!) and 5 minute drive to Fermoyle Beach (you must go see it) , we were happy to that we were in the location because we probably wouldn't have explored the north part of the peninsula had we stayed in Dingle. We hiked one of the local trails to Loch a Duin(?) and still cannot describe the breathtaking views. You need a car for this location.

The cottage was a perfect size for our family of four with room for more if needed. Our sons enjoyed playing on the swing and our 12 year old said, this place is perfect. :) We loved the evenings by the peat fires. The cottage was warm and cozy after we had days of sun-rain-hail. Wifi worked great.

My tiniest complaints... the bath towels could be replaced and the tea kettle and coffee pot needed cleaning out before we could use them. Not a huge issue for us. We'd return in a heartbeat!

Peaceful, pretty cottage well equipped. Were made very welcome by the owner. Area is amazing in terms of scenery, ideal for a quiet break
