“The Finn house was fantastic.”

The home was beyond any expectation you could ever imagine. You have the beautiful mountains behind you, which we climbed to the top of and the 12 mile beach in front of the house which we walked to and enjoyed every day. The home was so private I thought our family might be the only one staying in the village. ...

The home was beyond any expectation you could ever imagine. You have the beautiful mountains behind you, which we climbed to the top of and the 12 mile beach in front of the house which we walked to and enjoyed every day. The home was so private I thought our family might be the only one staying in the village. But just walk down your own private road and Tomasins 5 star pub and restaurant was right there. The home was excellent I couldn’t believe every one of the 4 bedrooms had their own bathroom. Off the kitchen was a beautiful sunroom where we enjoyed our full Irish breakfast every day. Off the sunroom was a beautiful outdoor area for outdoor dining or sunbathing or just having conversations with friends and family while looking up at the mountains beyond. The heating system was awesome but to top it off if you wanted to really relax and get in the mood you could just light a peat fire in their fireplace and feel the incredible history of Stradbally village come to life. In my opinion you wont find a better place to stay in Ireland! I’m from Boston but I’ll be back every year to stay at the Finn house to rekindle our love for the Stradbally/ Castlegregory area on the wild Kerry coast.

“Great location.”

Gorgeous views all around. House very good except no free view and dvd didn’t work in latter part of the week. Beaches spectacular and a fantastic pub and restaurant/takeaway down the lane. Really worth a visit.

“Beautiful cottage with mountain and sea views.”

The cottage is 2 mins drive from a spectacular sandy beach. The owner is very helpful and friendly.

“Wonderful house!”

!!! Perfectly located for all the main attractions and gorgeous beaches. The house was clean, spacious and well equipped with everything you could possible need. The owners were welcoming and friendly. Would highly recommend this house!

“Just magic!”

A beautiful home away from home, we holidayed here with our 2 young boys and can’t wait to return. The house is such a peaceful space, and everything and more was provided for us including a lovely welcome basket. It was within walking distance of the most spectacular beach and with Dingle, Brandon and the Maherees a short drive away through spectacular scenery. Would highly recommend the gastro pub Tomasins, just down the lane from the house. They do fantastic food and a lovely Guinness I’m told! Very friendly and welcoming locals. This holiday home is a gem.

“Home from home.”

Excellent location for exploring the Dingle Peninsula. Delightful house, light pouring in. Comfortable, relaxing, spacious. A bird lovers paradise....swallows nesting in the shed. Saw a variety of garden birds. Lots birdlife on nearby Lough Gill. Loved the underfloor heating and the very welcome hamper on arrival.

“As usual, Finn House was an amazing place to get away and relax.”

The house is immaculately kept. The owners are friendly and easy to communicate with. It's a perfect jaunt to the beach. The perfect place to get away from it all. (If you need wifi you'll have to find another place to stay.) This is definitely a place to unplug.

“A lovely four night stay and the cottage was so much better than we expected from the photos.”

The cottage is in a really quiet location and was really spacious and even with the terrible weather meant that we had plenty of space with 4 adults and 2 children. Most of the bedrooms are ensuite and there is a family bathroom. The kitchen has everything you need and the utility room with a washer and a dryer were really helpful to have. The only things I would say is that it could do with wifi and we would have been happy to pay extra for this so is something for the owner to think about. Also some of the soft furnishings and bedding upstairs could do with an update as they are a bit old fashioned but saying that everything was clean and tidy so not a big issue and we were out a lot exploring the peninsular. The cottage is really quiet and has a fantastic view of the hills behind and also the sea at the front. There is a mezzanine level with a sofa which is great for relaxing on and reading. Maharanees Beach is beautiful and we enjoyed exploring Connor Pass, Dingle, Fahan Beehive huts and the basket Islands visitor centre. The Peninsular is stunning even in bad weather. Castlgregory had some good pubs and shops for essentials. We would love to go back in the summer months when we could take advantage of the great water sports in the area. We would definitely book the cottage again.

“Very picturesque area.”

Good experience with garden birds. Owner very friendly and welcoming.

“The Finn House was just fantastic - there wasn't anything we needed that wasn't provided.”

From the welcome basket to the information provided, the house was so well equipped. More special though, was it was warm and welcoming, perfect for our family with plenty of room to relax and take in the beautiful views. Wish we had more time to just linger for a few more days and explore the area. We enjoyed the evenings my the turf fire after a full day of exploring Ireland. I hope one day we can return.

“As usual your service was great .”

Even sorting ferry out so my disabled dad was placed in an easy parking area . Your girls and boys on the phone were extremely helpful . Even when a trainee got something wrong it was soon rectified and sorted xx thank you so much for a great experience and we look forward to booking with you next year xx

“Great place to relax”

Great two weeks spent in Stradbally. We really enjoyed staying in Finn house. The location, views and facilities were outstanding. The house is located in a perfect position well off the main road in what seems like a secluded spot but is still so close to Dingle via the Conor pass and Tralee. The local beach is an extremely beautiful walk away approx 1 mile from the house. You could drive the scenic route to Ince beach (which allows vehicles) or go to the Maherees but in our opinion Stradbally strand (local beach) was far superior to either of these. Upsides: White sand, beautiful views and great waves, Downsides: no lifeguard and very limited parking but these comes with the territory. Wanted for nothing in the house and the owners were very friendly and helpful in every way possible before the trip and after we arrived. The local pub/restaurant Tomásíns serves a varied menu and the food was of a very good quality and the craic was mighty. Highlights of the trip were Stradbally strand, South Pole Inn, Conor pass and the Corrie lakes in the area, Tomásíns, Slea head and Dunquin, Paidi O’Se’s in Ventry and the Aquadome in Tralee on the rainy days. If you want a holiday home that feels firmly in a community with all the comforts of home and way to much to do in one area then this is for you.

“Superb quality accomodation”

Delighted with this super house in lovely location. Very clean, modern and comfortable, and well designed so that even a party of 8 and one dog were not cramped or on top of each other. Plenty of kitchen supplies and crockery for 8, and the welcome pack was a very nice touch. Owner was very helpful with information on the appliances and general info on the area and things to do. Only very small suggestions to make - perhaps wifi if available in the area, even at an extra charge? Also, a vacuum cleaner to help with keeping the house clean would be great for guests. Cannot fault the property overall and would definitely recommend to anyone, particularly those with kids/larger family groups. Would stay there again.

“cosy, perfect setting and utterly comfortable”

I strongly recommend this house for its cosiness and comfort, its convenient and scenic setting and for the attention to detail in making it a lovely retreat for couples and families. One of the nicest houses I have stayed in in Kerry.

“fantastic house, beautiful location”

We had a fantastic week in the house at Easter 2013. The owners of the house were there to greet us when we arrived and gave a quick tour of the house and demo of the various functions (heating systems etc). The house itself is fantastic and has been very well done out, and the location is really beautiful. The pictures on the website don't do the place justice at all! We'll definitely be back for sure!
