About this property
Young's Cottage or "Tigh na Meala" on the Wild Atlantic Way Dingle Peninsula
"Tigh na Meala" is the Irish for "House of honey" which was the original name of this two-storey cottage, stunningly situated on the Atlantic coast 10 min outside of Dingle town in the direction of Feothanach, Ballydavid and Brandon Creek. There are three bedrooms, one with a double bed( master), one with a bunk bed (two singles) and one with a double bed and single bunk (sleeps 7 total). The beautifully renovated farm house has a large kitchen and living room with a traditional fireplace including the original antique iron crane (see photo). There is a cosy bathroom downstairs with bath/shower and a toilet upstairs as well. The breathtaking view from the front of the house looks directly out on Smerwick Harbour to the south and to the West lie the Three Sisters and the Atlantic horizon. To the east is Ireland's second highest mountain, Mt. Brandon, climbed by Celtic/Christian pilgrims since the early Middle Ages. Also visible in the distance are the hills of Great Blasket Island. Total privacy, a cosy house facing the North Atlantic & proximity to Dingle's lively pub scene are what this house offers.

Located in Ballydavid, this cottage is in a rural area and by the sea. St. Brendan's House and Gallarus Castle are local landmarks, and some of the area's attractions include Louis Mulcahy Pottery and Kingdom Falconry. Dingle Pitch & Putt Course and Dingle Oceanworld Aquarium are also worth visiting. Scuba diving and windsurfing offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with cycling and horse riding nearby.
Gorgeous location, homely cottage. Had a quick dip in the sea! Great kitchen, lovely bath. Bit tricky to find in the dark, but loved our stay. Diolch/Thanks

Thank you so much for taking the time to review your stay. I am very happy you enjoyed it and hope to welcome you back in the future
We loved everything about our stay at Young's Cottage. While exploring the whole peninsular we saw amazing views at every turn. But at the end of each day, we both believe the best views were those from our front yard.The house had everything we needed, host were very responsive and we will be back to stay here again.

We had a great time staying at the property. The views were amazing and the cottage was ideally located outside Dingle where you could travel easily around Slea Head.

Thank you for reviewing Youngs Cottage and so sorry I didn`t rely to you a year ago already. Much appreciated your words,

We enjoyed our 3 nights at the cottage. Lots of room, lots of charm, and a good value. We stayed at lots of high end, expensive, small B&B’s this trip, and this was a nice, relaxing break to get away from all the people and traffic.

Thank you for a fantastic stay at your cottage. It had all the facilities needed for a real break away.
The location was just right to explore the Dingle peninsula.

We had everything we needed here for a long, nearly 3 month stay. The upper rooms were warm and comfortable. The kitchen was ample. We loved, loved, loved the location of this particular cottage. It's unique. If you hike up Mt. Brandon you can see the beauty of this particular location just above Feotanaugh Bay. We had various family visit during our near 3-month stay at this property. They were comfortable and appreciated the updated bathroom facilities as well as the kitchen, which had a very strong modern oven. Some days you look out and see mist hanging over the bay, or you might see Eoghan, the cattle farmer moving his herd. Don't miss the ring fort of prehistory, just a few hundred yards from the property.
