Pub next door and a spar in the village. You can walk to the beach. Host kept in touch by email to ensure everything ok.

The house and facilities were just as listed but so much better. So much light on even the rainiest of days. Michael Finn is a lovely host with great communication. We enjoyed meeting him in person as he dropped off our favorite cookies from his welcome basket before leaving. We enjoyed walks down to the Atlantic Ocean and pints next door at Tomasins cozy pub. Finn Houseâs location is equidistant to Dingle, Tralee, Killarney, the Wild Atlantic Way, and the Ring of Kerry. Lovely stay, would love to return some day.

It is well furnished, the kitchen has all the equipment you'll need and more and the bedroom and beds are really comfortable. We were there the last week of April and were blessed with warm, dry weather. Miceal our host checked in with us by text a few times and there was a lovely welcome basket awaiting us on arrival. Lovely views from upstairs to the sea and the Maharee islends at the front and the fields and mountains behind the cottage. Just two miles from Castlegregory where you will find lots of cafes, pubs and eating places. However, Tomasins pub restaurant is within 100 ft of the house down the lane and is a wonderful place to unwind after a day exploring the Dingle peninsula, its many empty beaches, woods, lakes and walks.
