It was perfect for us and our extended family with plenty of space for everyone. The house is very comfortable and well equipped and in a great location too. We enjoyed lots of dog walks on the nearby beach and there is plenty to do in the local area. Michael was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. We were lucky with the weather too which helped make our stay so enjoyable. We are looking forward to returning next year.

Set in beautiful surroundings, the house is spacious, warm and well equipped for a self-catering holiday. Mike, the host is really friendly and contacted us once we arrived to check everything was ok. There were so many little touches that added to our enjoyment in Finn House, even a starter pack and fuel for the fire. The area is great to explore with the beaches and Connor Pass â not to mention Dingle itself which is a lovely town with a good tourist information centre providing many leaflets of the surrounding area and towns.
