The Sanctuary is a cosy home away from home with all mod cons, a washer / dryer, wood fire stove, gas hob and oven, gas hot water and a patio area. The property has its own little cove and is situated between a number of working cattle farms. It boasts beautiful views, spectacular sunsets and is situated on the mouth of Ventry harbour. It is located 3 miles from Dingle which boasts many pubs and excellent dining facilities, great music and craic!
Guests have their choice of drinking filtered and UV treated well water (free of chlorine and flouride) or town water.
The cottage is a few hundred yards off the Slae Head Drive; a spectacular drive which has been described by National Geographic as "...The most beautiful place in the world..." It takes little effort and not much time to complete the drive and is well worth it!
Sea safaris are available through Dingle Boat Tours to cruise Dingle harbour or to visit the Blasket Islands, to view the wild life including puffins, whales, dolphins, seals, deer, gannets, basking sharks and many more, depending on the season.
We are only too pleased to offer advice about attractions, pubs, music, restaurants OR to simply leave ye in peace to enjoy the tranquility of the setting.
