  • We spent an amazing week at this incredible home. The setting is spectacular, with the cliff, beach, and ocean views, and sheep just outside your window in lush green fields. We enjoyed long hikes from the house, and it was an easy ride to anywhere on the Dingle Peninsula. Philomena is a gem - so friendly and hospitable, and we found everyone in Ireland to be very welcoming. What to say about the house? It is so lovely, beautifully decorated, sooo comfortable and spacious. We loved it, and I would love to build a house just like it and hire Phil to furnish/decorate it for me! Large, comfy bedrooms with warm comforters, beautiful wood floors, lovely dining room and well-stocked kitchen, it was just perfect. We would come back in a heartbeat - it was so hard to leave, and I truly hope that we will be able to return to this special haven. Thanks, Phil, from Scott, Angela, Jim and June!

  • When I read in National Geographic that this area was one of the most beautiful places on earth, I didn't believe it. Now after we have stayed in Philomena's wonderful house I know they were right.

  • We spent our 25th anniversary at Phil's "piece of paradise". Everything about our stay was fabulous... warm and inviting home that is beautifully maintained with every convenience and a view of the Atlantic that cannot be matched. The weather was perfect, the people are very friendly, the area is rich in history, language and culture. Never a lack of things to do. We enjoyed a little of everything and then some. Sit back, relax and enjoy... if you only go for the comfort and view it will be worth it!

  • I can't say enough about this most beautiful home. The views from the dining room, living room and master bedroom are breathtaking. To wake in the morning to the view of the sea and Clogher is just amazing. The decor is lovely and Phil and Alex are absolutely the best people to rent from. When I walk through the front door - I am at home!

  • Philomeana's place is a gem. Perfect for it's location, spectacular views and accomodations. Thanks so much for making our time on the Dingle Peninsula so memorable. If we're lucky enough to return to the Dingle, this place would be our first choice.

  • 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
