  • We just got back from a week stay in Philomania's guest house and a wonderful week it was. We had breath taking views just outside our dining room window. The weather was sunny and warm for Ireland and the sunsets were the best I have seen. There is plenty of hiking in the area and every place was another beautiful view!! I would recommend this VRBO to everyone who would visit Ireland, this is truly a beautiful country and wonderful friendly people!! Thank you Philomania for the great week we will always remember it!!! Joseph and Loretta Schmidt

  • What a wonderful, idyllic taste of Ireland. The house and view were beyond our expectations and an artist's paradise. Phil is the perfect hostess and the epitome of Irish hospitality. This was our 2nd trip to Ireland and was by far the best. Truly "... a little bit of heaven fell from out the sky one day." Hope we can return one day.

  • The photos on the site simply cannot do justice to the charm of both the house and the view. The house is roomy, and comfortable with a working fireplace - just the thing to take the chill out of an evening. The bedrooms all have skylights, and the beds are comfortable. The views are spectacular, both from the house and from the many hiking vantage points. If your young ones get bored there is a TV (with Spongebob Squarepants dubbed in Irish, no less), but the adults won't need it. I simply can't imagine a nicer place to stay in Ireland, or more pleasant hospitality. And, given how pleasnt the Irish are in general, that's saying a lot.

  • I have stayed here for a week the past two years March 1-8). The house and location are wonderful with an unbelievable view. The home is very clean with beautiful hardwood floors and modern appliances. The location is a hikers paradise, with the best cliff hikes in all of Ireland at your doorstep. My 9 year old loved the fact that there are sheep on the property. 2 miles away is the town of Ballyferriter with quaint pubs where you will feel like a local after your 3rd night and experience guinness on tap unlike anything we can get in the states. Dingle town, with great seafood and lively pubs with trad music is a short 20 minute drive over the mountain. Come here to experience the real Ireland and relax without having to drive around the entire country and sleep in a different B&B every night. The owner Phil is also a wonderful host and she lives down the road, available for advise and help if needed. She (and her son)helped us out of jam last year when I backed up my rental car into a ditch--they pulled me out with only a kind word....Irish hospitality you cannot find anywhere else. I'm afraid to write more due to fear that this home will be continuously rented and I will not be able to come back. In summary, a wonderful home and dream Irish experience. Stephen Kayota, MD

  • We staid at this beautiful house in March of 07 and plan to come back in March of 08. The house is fantasic. The views are spectacular. You will be at home at "At a view to die for" If you want to know Ireland than you need to visit Ireland off season. This is when you get your chance to meet the locals of Ireland. The heart of Ireland. What is Ireland!

  • We want to live here for ever. It 's a pity that we have to return to our daily life. But perhaps ons day we will enjoy the view and the beautiful house more than one week a year!

  • There are no words to aptly describe the beauty and confort of this home. With great views, majestic setting, and, of course, Phil herself. She made us feel like we'd known her for years. We can't wait to return - we feel like we belong there. If you rent a holiday home in Ireland and you want to experience Irelands true charm, this is the home you should rent. Thanks Phil, we love ya. Tim, Michelle, Pete and Jules - MA, USA
