“We really enjoyed our stay in Mount Brandon Cottage.”

The cottage is in a perfect location for exploring. The views are amazing from the house. Wifi and laundry facilities are in the house. Will look to book again.

“Brandon Cottage was the perfect place to stay for our first visit to the Dingle Peninsula.”

We received all the information that we needed to arrive and for our stay, and the owner was communicative and accommodating. The cottage is perfectly situated, with walks and bike rides possible from the front door, and only a short drive away from beaches and attractions. We’re already thinking of booking next year!

Laura April 2023

“If you want to stay in a cottage surrounded by mountains and a 6 minute drive from the beach, look no further.”

Mount Brandon cottage is such a friendly house, we loved staying there. It has everything you could wish for. Our family longed for some peace and quiet and we certainly found it at Mount Brandon cottage! We loved it.

Cecilia September 2022

“The location is lovely, with great walks and beaches nearby.”

It is a big house suitable for a large family, but the house needs a deep clean and some updating.

- Cecilia, September 2022
Caroline September 2022

“The property was fabulous.”

He needs to update his photos and information because there now is WiFi and a new kitchen!We will return next year please God, as we had a wonderful time. The house is great for children, in a lovely peaceful location. It's well kitted out in the kitchen and we all slept well in the comfortable beds .We would recommend this property.

- Caroline, September 2022

“Excellent property in the most stunning of locations with scenic panoramic views.”

House has all mod cons that one requires. Easy communication with Brendan the owner and Stacy the caretaker. Village close by with good entertainment and hospitality in Harvey’s/O’Conners Bar. Also Murphy’s Bar at the end of the pier in Brandon Harbour is another hospitable public bar .One piece of advice is that the underground heating takes at least 6 hours to warm up if not more but once it does you will not need to light open fire unless you want the romance of it. We would certainly return if the God’s keep smiling on us.

“Une maison agréable dans un bel environnement.”

L'aménagement est très simple et suffisant. Manque de matériel de cuisine et aspirateur qui n'aspire pas.

- Florence, May 2022
Hanora April 2022

“The location of Brandon Cottage is wonderful,surrounded by mountains and local coast but unfortunately the house itself was a tired and not clean.”

The furniture ,some of which was broken(chairs and bedside cabinet)It seemed like no cleaning had been done in preparation for guests,orange peel and peanuts strewn on bedroom floor and down back of bed.Dirty kitchen floor and dust everywhere.We also had an infestation of flies indoors in early April which we spent time each morning destroying.This home could be a lovely place to stay if the above issues were addressed. On arrival we spent time cleaning the home and found the vacuum cleaner not working,no suction.Communication with the housekeeper was not easy ,we were promised a replacement vacuum cleaner which never materialised. Wonderful location but sadly the cleanliness and tired and unloved home and poor communication by housekeeper was a disappointment.

Valerie February 2022

“Lovely cosy house, even on a week of storms and snow!”

Travelled with two young children who loved it. Very comfortable beds and loads of room for a larger group. Perfect for families exploring Kerry. Owner and caretaker extremely nice to deal with. Would definitely return! Valerie

Maurice September 2020

“As an Irish customer I was unable to avail of the insurance you offered as I had to be a UK resident and the cheaper insurance option only shows up after the the more extensive one is refused which is a bit sneaky.”

The house is spacious and well equipped the grounds and garden are generous and well maintained and the surroundings and views are spectacular and breathtaking. It is a beautiful part of the world with fine people and each and everyone of us enjoyed ourselves immensely. Value for money was good.

Tammy October 2019

“Nice spacious house.”

Very reasonable price. We booked house for 4 adults & 6 kids & while sleeping areas were perfect the sitting room would benefit from an extra sofa. Wi-Fi was only sporadic & would have been nice to have some TV service for kids but house worked well overall for our group.

“The house is situated in a spectacular location under Mt.”

Brandon with lovely views from each window. The closest beach is only a three minute drive away and Dingle and Castlegregory are easily accessed. The setting is very tranquil and we found the holiday extremely relaxing. The caretaker is lovely, very friendly and welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed our weekend here.

The property

This lovely, detached cottage is situated in a fantastic location, enjoying stunning mountain and sea views, on the fringes of Cloghane, a small village on the Dingle Peninsula, County Kerry.

Surrounded by nature, this Dingle cottage provides comfortable holiday cottage accommodation, with spacious rooms and fantastic views.

Ground and first floor bedrooms and bathrooms make this Dingle cottage accessible for the less mobile, while family bedrooms make the accommodation flexible and perfect for larger parties.

Spend long, sunny days hiking Mount Brandon, taking in the wonderful scenery surrounding you, before returning to your Dingle cottage with tired feet and a plethora of photographs from your day out, before lighting the fire to sit down with a cup of tea and a hot meal.

With the coast so close, and the country on your doorstep, you really can enjoy the best of both worlds from this delightful Dingle cottage.
