lovely cottage
autentic, charming, great nature
Quiet retreat on the Dingle Peninsula
Such a nice place with everything we needed. Close to the beach, Dingle town and the bakery. We stayed here for 4 nights during our 2 week visit to Ireland. I was a great home base to explore west Kerry and Dingle.
Serene and happy stay!
We were greeted with fresh farm eggs and Irish soda bread. The home was as described and very charming. We fell in love with the Dingle Peninsula and the people. We would come back if time and money allowed!
Direen Cottage
Very cosy and comfortable cottage in a beautiful setting. Extremely spacious inside with a fully equipped kitchen. Everything you need is provided. We loved our stay.
had a wonderful time
I really enjoyed my stay at Direen Cottage. The cottage was clean and spacious. I loved curling up and getting cozy with a book in the master bedroom. There's a window seat that overlooks a pretty hedge and you can hear the creek near the house (I slept with the windows open and fell asleep to the sounds of the creek). I think that was probably my favorite spot in the cottage. I spent a lot of evenings there.
The cottage is situated conveniently with quick and easy access to Cloghane, Brandon, and Castlegregory. This made it easy to explore the area and easy to swing by between adventures for a quick lunch. I told a friend that one evening my face hurt and I realized it was because I'd been smiling so much.
The Murphys were great. When I had an unexpected travel issue that resulted in my arriving a day late, they arranged their schedules to meet me when I got there. They let me know about an annual local event that I would never have known of otherwise; it was very cool to attend and learn about. They also provided me with free eggs from their free range chickens and homemade strawberry jam (which in my world = several super awesome breakfasts). They were just awesome hosts.
I would definitely recommend staying at Direen.
Peacefulness and tranquility
A warm welcome awaited us at this beautiful cottage. Janet gave us great advice on where to go and what to see. It was a home away from home, so peaceful and relaxing. Our boys loved it from start to finish - whether it was climbing Mount Brandon, swimming at Fermoyle Beach or playing on the buoy swing in the garden. This is an excellent location to use as a base to explore Kerry. It was so wonderful to play board games at night in the light of the roaring peat fire. It was lovely to hear the history of the cottage. The scenery is truly breathtaking and we were sorry to go home. The local bakery is a must as is O'Conor,s pub in Cloghane! Thank you Janet.
