Photos and Description of the County Kerry vacation cottage rental 1 double , 1 twin , 1 with 3 single beds. 2 bathrooms, sleeps 7+cot

Direen is a traditional 2 storey stone built cottage, renovated to modern day standards by extending the back for extra accommodation. The original style of the cottage has been maintained, with 2 open fires to add comfort, alongside the oil-fired central heating. This is a cosy cottage for winter rental. Timber and tiles have been used throughout for the flooring which both retain the character of the cottage as well as provide for a clean house. The cottage sleeps 7, with the ground floor adapted for wheelchair access. There is a shed alongside, with chest freezer and ample space for outdoor gear. Situated on 1 acre, a small stream, field and trees make this a very peaceful property.

Rain and wind, but also sun, that's Ireland.
Sea and mountains, that's Dingle.
Charm and quietness, that's Direen Cottage.

Direen Cottage

Review Submitted: September 28, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We have had a fantastic stay at Direen Cottage,we were impressed by the high levels of comfort offered by Janet and Eamanon from all the usual mod cons like sky TV, dish washer, washing machine ,to toys for my granddaughter and peat for the fire in the evenings.
There is so much to see and do in the area if you then add the truly amazing hospitality of the locals you can only feel sorry when it is time to leave.

A dream come true

Elisabeth S. Burgundy, France
Review Submitted: August 30, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Direen Cottage is lovely, comfortable. It is cosy , clean, well maintained, spacious. Kitchen very well equiped. Huge garden. Lots of English books, games ; peat fires for the evenings. Beautiful area (sea, mountains, countryside (I love the fuschia hedges). Great area for walking, hiking, cycling, surfing. Do not buy the "Cloghane & Brandon walking guide" : it is available at the cottage. Spar supermarket at Castelgregory. Taking the Conor Pass to go to Dingle is a thrill !The best holiday house we've stayed in. Thanks Janet, Eamonn, for the hospitality. Perfect place. Really a magical first (but not last !) trip to Ireland for us. Thanks for everything.

June in Dingle

Cathy P. Algodones, NM
Review Submitted: June 13, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
My family stayed at the cottage at the end of May and beginning of June, 2009. Janet and Eamonn had made up the ground floor sitting room as a bedroom for my mother, who walks with a cane. The house is great, comfortable, plenty of room, very well maintained, very reasonable rates (especially for what you get!), and is in an absolutely beautiful area. It's quiet and out of the way, but still near to loads of things to do. The Dingle Peninsula is absolutely beautiful. We were fortunate to have above average temperatures and even got suntans on the beach, which is only about 5 minutes away. I would recommend the house for families, children, and people who might have a harder time getting around. The ground floor bathroom is specifically set up for disabled access. But my 6-year old loved it too! Janet and Eamonn were available if needed but were not intrusive at all. Plus if you make it to the farmer's market on Friday Janet makes some incredible soda bread that you can buy! We had a great stay.

Review Submitted: May 26, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We all loved the cottage and the beautiful area. Close to everything we wanted to see. The Murphys were great. The cottage was clean and everything worked just fine. I would highly recomend staying there and will come again if we can.
