We spent just over 2 weeks travelling around Ireland, and without a doubt our favorite place to stay--by far--was this little gem tucked on a hillside in the little village of Ballyferriter. We were travelling with our 5-yr old son and "Grandma." The home was spacious, very clean, comfortable, and easily the most well-equipped VRBO we have every stayed in.
I was a little worried about the remoteness of the property, but it's location was awesome.
Just 15 minutes from the town of Dingle, and just one block off of the Slea Head Drive, it was the best of both worlds. We were met by the owner's mother (could not have been sweeter) who showed us around the home. 3 HUGE bedrooms -- 2 upstairs and 1 on the main floor (King Bed / Queen Bed / 2 Twins), each with its own full bath. There was a lovely kitchen with what seemed like newer appliances and a full size washer and separate dryer (rare in our experience in Europe). It had every kitchen gadget you could want, and high-quality, matching dinnerware, flatware, and glasses. It also had a nice, large table, and two areas for TV watching (in the living room and a separate "den-type" room). The showers were hot and powerful.
The owner's sister came by a few times to see if we needed anything and to offer advice. She was so kind and helpful!
We had lovely views of the mountain we were situated on and ocean/landscape views from the two upper bedrooms. We were also a short walk (3 minutes) to Murphy's -- a little pub/restaurant where we had one of the best meals of our trip. A 2-minute walk will get you to a little convenience store where you can get produce, deli, cereal, bread, and any other staples you forgot to get at the Super Valu in Dingle (don't get the pizza, though -- it was terrible!).
We spent 3 nights and if we could do it again, we'd stay longer. The beaches are incredible and the Slea Head Drive is stunning. It would also be possible to do the Ring of Kerry from here, but it'd be a long day.
Can't say enough positive things about this place! Seriously...stay here!!!
