We had a fabulous stay - Niamh was lovely and made sure that our every need was met in the house. It was HUGE - even as a family plus extras we still had massives of space. And the access to the beach was magical. A truly wonderful escape to Dingle.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, age 55+, girls getaway.

This is a wonderful house in a beautiful location. The picture of the beach does not do it justice - it's as beautiful as anything you'll find in Ireland. There were a few days of massive waves crashing into the bay that were absolutely amazing to watch/hear. The house has everything. It truly is a luxury home by the beach. Thanks Niamh/Frank!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We have stayed in vacation rentals in Europe and the US and our stay at Didean far exceeded our expectations. The home is spacious, updated, and beautifully decorated. It is very clean and the yard is large and well maintained. Niamh and Frank were very helpful and responsive to our emails and provided numerous resources to make our stay enjoyable. All three generations of our family loved exploring the beach that was a short walk from the house and watching the sheep, cows and horses in neighboring fields. Our children fell in love with “Monster” the neighbor’s dog who came by to play several time a day. They were in tears when we had to leave and are already asking to go back!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+.

My husband and I, our one year old son, and three of our extended family members recently stayed at this wonderful house near Dingle. It was the perfect retreat: relaxing, close to the beach, and had all the amenities that we needed and more. Niamh and Frank could not have been more welcoming. The kitchen was perfect for cooking meals and while at the house, we spent most of our time in the cheerfully sunlit dining room. It was perfect for enjoying a glass of wine and conversation when it was too cold to sit on the deck. The house was exactly as pictured online. We could not have been happier with our decision to stay at Didean and should we return to the Dingle area, we wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again. Thank you Niamh and Frank!!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car, girls getaway.

Our recent say at Didean was a retreat of sorts, and based on other reviews, I will say that in some miraculous way, it more than exceeded our expectations! Tons of space inside and outside to rejuvenate this (reluctant) city-dweller’s heart. The close proximity to hiking and the beach was perfect. The house is decorated beautifully and simply-- a fantastic combination in my book. Thank you, Frank and Niamh, for your promptness, attention to detail, famed Irish hospitality, and willingness to share your beautiful home. It is a holiday we will not soon forget!!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, girls getaway.

Our family just returned from an amazing vacation to Europe. One of the highlights was the opportunity to stay at this lovely home located near Dingle. The house is immaculate, and exudes style and charm. Niamh and Frank welcomed us with open arms, and their home provided us the perfect place to return from a day explorer the amazing Irish countryside. We were absolutely thrilled with our time in Ireland, and would highly recommend Didean to anyone. Thanks again Niamh and Frank, all the best The MasonsRecommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, people with disabilities, adventure seekers, girls getaway.

We rent homes frequently for vacations. This home was all as written and frankly much more. All bedrooms are comfortable, and there are multi bathrooms. All is clean and well stocked and organized. Hairdryers were there. We brought ground coffee, some extra soap bars and shampoo. Between the owners and previous renters, not much else is needed. I cooked a few nights and found the kitchen really easy to navigate. The washer and dryer were simply great. The one surprise was the "beach." It actually is more of a glorious rocky and rough cove that has a sandy area when the tide is out. We thought the views and scenery here beat the Cliffs of Moher. My nephews ran daily (along with the neighborhood dogs that we loved). We walked to that beach each day at varying hours. It is stunning. To get to Dingle at night, take the taxis. It is easier, inexpensive and the drivers are full of stories and fun. In the mornings and evenings, you will likely run into the cows being moved from one field to another. We ate at Doyle's - expensive but good. We liked the food at Adam's bar, too. The home is very upscale and so comfortable. The dogs that are in the neighborhood hang out by the house. My daughter fell in love with all of them. They were wonderful and went with us on all our trips to the beach. They love the frisbee. We had so much fun. We strongly recommend this home to those liking something built for comfort with an upscale leaning. Great value for touring the Southwest and West of Ireland.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+.

Our family group included three generations ranging in age from 75 years to 5 months. The layout of the house allowed the young people to talk loud and late in the welcoming farm kitchen while the children slept undisturbed and the oldsters could choose a quiet reading corner in the comfortable, separate living room. The flat acre of grass surrounding the house was a great place for the kids to play frisbee or fetch with Elvis, the amazing sheep dog we all fell in love with. A short walk to the beach is rewarded with magnificent views of Sea Stack. We also enjoyed watching the sheep move from pasture to pasture up and down the mountain just beyond our hedge. Dingle is just a 15 minute drive and is filled with shops, pubs and music. Slea Head Drive provides some of the most spectacular views in Ireland. Looking back we feel we couldn't have chosen a better place to gather our children and grandchildren. Niamh and Frank made us welcome and comfortable and we would definitely choose Didean again.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers.

Our family had the pleasure of staying at "Didean" on the beautiful Dingle Peninsula. The house was fantastic, beautifully decorated, well-equipped, extremely comfortable and spacious. Whether enjoying morning coffee on the scenic outside deck, playing a family game of soccer in the large yard, competing in Wii challenges on rainy days, or just relaxing in the lounge reading and listening to music, there was something for everyone.. The peaceful countryside location with its stunning views was perfect, close enough to a secluded, sandy beach for a lovely walk or a hike up the surrounding mountains and just a short drive to Dingle town with its many wonderful pubs and shops.Our family had lots of fun at the Dingle Golf Center and a challenge at the magnificent Dingle Ceann Sibeal golf course, the most westerly golf course in Europe. Many thanks to Niamh and Frank for their kind, attentive welcome. They were great to work with and made us feel right at home. Our delightful companion, Elvis, the neighborhood dog,walked everywhere with us. We treasure the great memories from our trip to Dingle and highly recommend "Didean" as the place to stay.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Thank you Carol for your wonderful words. We are so pleased that you thought it was fantastic and that you all had such a great time. It is great to hear that you enjoyed all the amenities both in the house itself and in the fabulous surroundings. It was a real pleasure welcoming you here! Yes the location is quite unique and special! We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Best Wishes, Niamh and Frank
