10 min. Walk to the beach you've dreamed about where Ryan's Daughter and Far & Away were filmed--the beautiful Couminole Strand. It's a small beach sheltered from the winds by spectacular l00 foot high cliffs. Many say the Dingle Peninsula is one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland. Lots to do nearby: Golf, boat trips, Swim with Fungie the dolphin, fishing, sight seeing, exceptional crafters,art galleries, and shopping in the area. There are many cozy pubs, traditional music, and world-famous restaurants in the area. Excellent cafe for coffee and lunch right in Couminole: Tig Slea Head. Enjoy their marvelous, slightly different view. We're only 2 l/2 miles to the Blasket Interpretative Center and the ferry to the Blasket Islands. The Dingle Peninsula (and particularly out west as they refer to our location) has many famous historic, pre-historic architectural sites, castles, beehive huts, and the Gallarus Oratory.

  • We love staying at Couminole. We have been there twice and look forward to many more trips there.
    The second trip was my wife and I and our whole trip was centered around staying at the cottage. Each day would begin languidly there. Mornings were usually spent hiking from the cottage or exploring nearby by car or on foot. Afternoons were spent at the cottage or at one of two nearby cafes reading, drinking tea, eating scones. Evenings were often spent in nearby Dingle, though we found we would sometimes end up preferring to stay put in the cottage reading by the fireplace to the heat and smell of peat burning. I don’t know if I can think of a more peaceful place.' We loved your cottage. The scenery was fantastic despite the rain/hail for the first few days. It gave it a 'wild' look. We took many pictures and look forward to finding some great shots. Thanks for sharing your cottage with us. We appreciated all the suggestions/information you provided to us prior to our trip.'

Over and over our guests say 'thank you for sharing your cottage. It was the best part of our Irish holiday. We've had many, many honeymoons and anniversary trips over the years. 2 Twins can be made up separately or together = king. Radiant underfloor heating. Very comfortable and cozy. The little glen beside us features bird watching. We've heard some report great sightings. It's all left natural. Our field is covered with many different wild flowers. And our neighbor sometimes puts animals in it - their horses, cows or sheep. We love the return to nature feel of the area. It's a place of astounding beauty and peace. Just what the modern stress-sufferer needs!

Further Details for the cottage in County Kerry, Ireland

more details! We lovingly restored the historic structure. Everything inside is completely new; built from the ground up, beginning with radiant under-floor heating. This is our dream house - not just a rental. We have comfortable furniture, everything top of the line from the convection stove to orthopedic beds. Our minimum stay is one week. Reserve early to avoid disappointment. Spring, summer, and fall fill quickly. Why don't we have an on-line calendar? There are a number of reasons -- centrally that's it's already incredibly complicated to run an international operation. We're not set up for last minute travel. Just can't do it. Only a few people looked at our calendar by the latest count, but thousands read our guest book. Thank you to all our wonderful guests who made entries for us! Most inquiries answered within 24 hours. When we're traveling a day or two...If you don't get an answer back from us, we didn't get your email for some reason! Thanks for your interest

local activities nearby: Bird lovers tell us there are many interesting species in the adjoining glen. Our field is just wild, so that provides views of wild flowers and offers good bird habitat. We love the song of the English robins. The birds are very friendly. One flew in when friends of ours were there. Richard coaxed him/her onto his hand and brought him/her back out. (They had the doors open without the screens up.) There are several museums of natural & local history within a couple of miles. There are easily enough activities to fill several weeks. We still haven't seen, done them all. Do as little or as much as you want....Many of us find a deep relaxation sinking into our bones. The perfect respite from today's hectic, hurried life. We are near several excellent hiking and walking trails - the Dingle Way and Pilgrim's Way. We've climbed Mt Eagle right behind us and done some of the Pilgrim's way 'out west' as they call the area west of us. 'great walking there' a guest.

Couminole has been been called the most beautiful spot in the world by National Geographic Explorer. Dingle is one of the largest Gaeltachts (Irish speaking) areas. Many people come to the area to learn Irish. The Dingle area is popular for the traditional music as well. There are several world-famous restaurants in Dingle. We were the cover picture in Irish Sunday Times Real Estate Price Guide 2005 Section and on the back cover of Ireland for Dummies. A pop music group, The Beautiful South, made a video in our house. Many, many guests think of it as 'their Irish Cottage'. Comments such as: 'Thank you so much for opening up your Ireland home to us.' 'You have such a treasure there.' 'It's our piece of heaven. A part of us will always be there' 'It was absolutely wonderful. We love your cottage. Thanks so much for opening your home to us. We'll spread the word.' 'What a wonderful time I had in your cottage. It's a perfect base for walking, and was so comfortable that I didn't want to leave.

Guest Book We had an absolutely delightful time; the cottage is even better than we expected. Thanks for all you set up—what an easy vacation this was.......We will be back constantly. Really a very special vacation. Thanks! ..... It was a lovely spot and great walking in the Dingle area.....It was an idyllic place for a honeymoon. We will always remember it and hope to return sometime soon......I thought it was such a shame for a cottage with a million-dollar view go to waste. I am so happy that someone took the time, money, and love to restore such a beautiful sport and even more excited that you’re renting it out. I fell in love with your cottage 30 years ago. And, hope you will add me to that list of potential buyers if you should ever think of selling.......We had an absolutely magical stay. It was hard to leave your cottage.....Your cottage is wonderful. The location must be the best in all Ireland (or even elsewhere). I particularly enjoyed watching the sea. ....Totally fabulous

Other Activities letting the world go by, relaxing, unwinding.....enjoying traditional music in pubs
