There is few places in the world that will thoroughly take your breath away as the view from inside or outside or on the patio of the cottage overlooking Clogher Beach /Sybhil Head and the 3 high points called the 3 sisters /mountains and the vast Atlantic Ocean,,, the most photographed point of the most scenic of drives .the home is only 20minute drive from idilic Dingle town
This is no ordinary cottage, quite apart from breath-taking views from every windows,the house is utterly delightful and comfortable with oil fired central heating,wooden floors and subtle decor which sets the tone in this tranquil hideaway.

We have been fortunate enought to rent VRBO properties around the U.S., in the U.K., France and Ireland. I would put this amazing house at the very top. You will not find a more magestic view anywhere on the coast of Ireland or, fot that matter, anyplace at all. Stunning. Ethereal. And house is a gem - well built, well laid out, outfitted with anything you may need, and - again - such views from the rooms. You can even walk down to the sea and feel the fresh breeze in your face and let your soul just take it in. Brian could not have been a better host. If you need anything at all, he is there for you. And as a bonus he is quite the expert on local and Irish history. I will treasure my conversations with him about the history of the area and the state of the world. I would not hesitate to return to this wonderful cottage on the Wild Atlantic Way and hope to do so in the future.

A True Slice of Heaven
Our stay at the Dingle Stone Cottage was nothing short of magical. The moment we arrived, we were awestruck by the charm of the home and the breathtaking scenery that surrounds it. Nestled between galloping horses, grazing sheep, and the sound of crashing waves, the cottage offers a front-row seat to nature’s ever-changing show. It was like stepping into a dream.The house itself is both spacious and cozy, immaculately clean, and incredibly well-appointed. It was perfect for our entire group, from toddlers to grandparents, and offered both comfort and room to roam and explore. The yard became a haven for our boys to adventure and play freely while the adults relaxed with a book and a view that never got old.We started our mornings with local walks (favorites included Cosán Cuas na nEighe, Dunmore Head, and Meditation Rock) and we ended our adventures by walking next door for lattes and baked goods at Tig Áine. This amazing house and the surrounding setting brought us such connection- with the landscape, with one another, and with the incredible community here.A special thanks to Brian, our host, who was not only warm and welcoming but also an absolute fountain of local knowledge. Every recommendation he shared was a gem, and his passion for the area added so much richness to our experience. We left feeling grateful, recharged, and already dreaming about our return. This place is truly magical and we will be back.

The house is amazing. Waking up to the ocean views in the master bedroom. Sitting in the living room or dining room with ample views and a charming fireplace. Everything as advertised and then some.To make things better, after I made a mistake on our checkout, the owner was so kind and allowed us some extra time to gather our items. A true gentleman.

“A View to Die For” still beyond the description!!!
NO words!!! THIS Place!!! Still beyond the pictures and description! We thought it was too good to be true and was ready to be disappointed! It just can’t be as amazing as the pics and description AND the price! Owner, Brian, was the nicest! We wanted to sit down and have dinner with he and his wife! To wake up with the sheep Baahjng and cows mooing, the horses on the far ridge and the amazing view! The house was so accommodating with the 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths and a powder room! Such a warm, cozy, home! We did not want to leave! Just no way to recommend this beautiful paradise high enough!!’And you are right on the Famous Slea Head loop!

Dream Vacation
WOW!!! The first word that comes to mind when I am thinking back to this incredible property. From the moment you pull into the drive the views take your breath away. The house itself is the perfect size for a large family or group. Each window in the house has a view. The living room is the perfect size for relaxing and visiting with family. The bedrooms are all very spacious and have a bathroom attached. We had to fight over who got the master bedroom upstairs with the amazing views. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need for making coffee, tea, and cooking. Brian is so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. He advised us on flying into Dublin and taking the train into Tralee to get our rental car which was the best way to go. Thanks Brian! Going during off season was also a plus as we were some of the only tourist there and made driving on the skinny roads a little easier. Overall, this property was an absolute dream and we would love to return one day!!

Top Notch In Every Way
Philomena and her son, Brian delivered a vacation of a lifetime. 5 star service. The views - spectacular! The home - perfection in its style, size and structure. Great fit for two families/ six guests. Tig Aigne Cafe had warm scones everyday and best scones just a stone's throw away. The colorful town of Dingle just a short jaunt. Great pics and music! This is a must if you want to see Ireland in its full glory.

Beautiful property and location!
This is one of those rare occasions where the pictures do not due the property and especially the views justice. Everything was exactly as described, but more beautiful. I kept saying, "It feels like something out of a movie," and then reminded myself that it was. We slept with the curtains open (in the larger bedroom upstairs) so the view was the first thing we could see upon waking up. We rented both the larger cottage and the smaller one for our large family group and everything was perfect. Brian was wonderful to work with and super responsive.

Beautiful cottage in a stunning location
The perfect property for family or larger party holidays. Four comfortable bedrooms - all with en-suites, although be prepared to argue about who gets the bedroom with the fantastic views!
A really well equipped kitchen makes the cottage ideal for self-catering, as well as the large dining area and outside balcony.
Plenty of comfortable seating space in the living area to watch the many DVDs or read the extensive selection of books.
Great washing and drying facilities in the separate laundry room.
Best of all is the location, with its stunning views and within easy walking distance to the beach.
We would love to come back.
