Dunquin Cottage is a traditional stone
cottage situated at the tip of the Dingle Peninsula, an area National
Geographic described as "one of the most beautiful on earth". On
Ireland's west coast in a Gaeltacht, or Irish speaking area, the
cottage is backed by Mt. Eagle, surrounded by green fields and stone
walls and looks out over the Atlantic Ocean and the Blasket Islands.
A serene, rustic retreat, Dunquin Cottage has been sensitively
renovated to comfortably provide modern amenities without sacrificing
its sense of time and place. |

Upon entering the cottage, there is a glass-roofed porch which is a perfect spot to have breakfast in the morning or a drink at sunset. The living room is furnished
with comfortable upholstered furniture and large closets for storage.
An antique pine desk holds a portable music system for radio, tape
cassettes or CD's. The dining room area contains an old
scrubbed pine table and chairs which sit before an open stone
fireplace. A bookshelf is filled with both Irish fiction and
non-fiction, local maps as well as walking guides and other books
about the flora and fauna of the area. The kitchen is very well-stocked with china, glassware, flatwear, pots and pans. There is a small fridge/freezer, electric stove, washing machine and tumble dryer as well as toaster and a French coffee press. There are two pine-beamed loft bedrooms with skylights. One bedroom has a vintage double brass bed and the other, a single iron bed. A fold-out bed is also available for use downstairs. Three mountain bikes are available for
the use of our guests. Rental periods extend from Saturday to Saturday and all utilities, linen, cleaning fees and the use of the bicycles are included. It is our aim that our guests enjoy the cottage as much as we do and return home having had a relaxed and happy holiday. |
