This house and surrounding landscape is exactly what I thought our dream Ireland vacation was going to be. The house had all the comforts that we needed and I especially enjoyed the library. The "neighbors" were always glad to see us when we provided their daily treat of apples and carrots. It is hard to explain the comfort you feel just sitting outside at the picnic table with the view of the Blasket Islands, and the smell of the green grass, ocean breeze, and peat smoke out of the chimney. When you do venture out of the house, the history of this wonderful place is literally around every corner. The 700+ pictures that we took cannot do this area justice.

The town of Dingle had just about everything that you could need including some very interesting and friendly people. Tom and Paul at the Dingle Pub became familiar faces and welcomed our family into that establishment like we had known them for years. The meals that we did eat in town were spectacular. I don't think I had a bad meal the whole time in Ireland.

Shelia was as helpful as any one person could be. She always answered any question we had in a very timely manner and gave us some very good tips and advice before the trip had started. She was just a real pleasure to speak and deal with.

Betty had the house spotless when we arrived and was friendly and courteous in matters of what was expected of us during our stay and before we left.

All in all, it was a trip of a lifetime and we are already making plans on returning with a few more family members as it would be selfish to keep this remarkable place all to ourselves.
