Drom East, Cloghane, Traditional stone cottage in beautiful West Kerry

We had an excellent time at Direen! There were 5 of us in my group. We had more than enough room for each other (to have our seperate time) and all our stuff. The cottage had everything we needed. It felt like home and was so nice to come back to at night after traveling around all day. Very clean and organized. The woodwork around the house is fabulous. There are so many things close by that we were never at a loss for things to do. Connor Pass wasn't far and was always an exciting trip to Dingle.
Direen is secluded so it's quiet and beautiful. In the summer it would be awesome to sit outside and enjoy. Might have to plan that for next time! Thank you so much Eamonn and Janet. I really appreciate your time and care in making our trip wonderful.

Direen Cottage was a delight in every way. The cottage was spotlessly clean and beautifully presented, and Janet and Eammon did everything they could to make us feel welcome. We were blessed with perfect weather for our week long stay and the trip over the Conor Pass to Dingle each day was always a highlight. Sea kayaking at Dingle was great fun and we got a close up look at Fungi the Dingle dolphin. We also took a cruise out to the Blasket Islands and this was really spectacular. There is a great range of traditional music in the pubs in Dingle, and we went to O'Flaherty's at the suggestion of the owner of the traditional music shop in Dingle (who happened to be an O'Flaherty!)
For a quiet haven in this truly spectacular, special part of Ireland you simply can't go wrong with Direen Cottage.
If only it were closer to home (Australia!) the Dingle Peninsula would be an annual holiday destination.

Our first family holiday in Ireland, and what a gem we found! Well equipped and spacious enough for 7 adults (or grown up teenage children) Direen cottage is nestled nicely between the sea and the mountains, so has something for everyone.

The charming fishing village of Brandon is just up the road, and the more touristy Dingle is just the other side of the Connor Pass (which is worth stopping at the top for the views of both side of the peninsula).

A great central base to explore other parts of Kerry, or even further afield! Whether you want mountain walking, fishing, birdwathing, or just walks on the beaches, and enjoying beer and food in the pubs, Direen makes a great base.

Highlights for us included climbing Carrantouhill, and the boat trip to the Skelligs.

A fabulous holiday, thank you Janet & Eamonn!
