I took my first trip to Ireland in 1985 and raced around the West coast from Donegal to Cork and stumbled upon Dingle. Had it been my first stop, I wouldn't have gone any further.
Having stayed in B&B's and Inns in the various villages and in town over the years, we bought a site on rocks above Smerwick Harbor and within a half mile of one of our favorite country pubs. Notwithstanding our end-of-the-earth setting, 10 minute access to Dingle affords the best music and cuisine you can find in Ireland.
