    “Good house design for a family party and well-located for visiting the Dingle peninsular.”

    Caroline was very helpful in providing a high chair and cafetiere and for keeping in touch to remedy shortcomings. However many issues to be addressed by the owner - see below: House Book - the property would greatly benefit from having a house book as a guide to appliances, heating and general local amenities etc Fridge - broken lower shelf and seal.

    Caroline was very helpful in providing a high chair and cafetiere and for keeping in touch to remedy shortcomings. However many issues to be addressed by the owner - see below: House Book - the property would greatly benefit from having a house book as a guide to appliances, heating and general local amenities etc Fridge - broken lower shelf and seal. Had not been cleaned by owner staying previous week. It is also far too small for the house capacity which should be a consideration on replacement. TV - replaced on arrival but not able to be tuned. Fortunately we had no use for it given good weather Table Football - no ball and players broken so unusable. Appears to have been in that state for some time so why advertise it as a feature. Glasses - Not enough to make up a set of 6 of the same type Showers - 2 over baths should have a shower curtain/screen Towels - Ideally should be bath-sized Iron - leaks badly Oven Door - loose Keys - couldn't open patio doors. Set of 3 keys in basket did not work on any doors. Lights - some had blown. Fireplace - not set and no wood for first fire. Again not an issue for us but don't advertise it if it's not provided. Overall a pleasant property but above maintenance issues left poor impression to justify rental. NB Cleaniliness rating would have been better but for the state of the fridge on arrival.

About the location

BALLYFERRITER, COUNTY KERRY

Dunquin 5 miles; Dingle 7 miles; Inch 22 miles.

The pretty village of Ballyferriter nestles quietly near the tip of the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry. Home to a selection of local facilities including pubs, a shop, and a small hotel, and flanked by towering mountains, rugged coastlines and sandy beaches, this traditional Irish village is the perfect base for those wishing to relax, or to explore the great outdoors. Ballyferriter is also one of Ireland's most prominent Gaeltacht villages, where the traditional Gaelic language is widely spoken amongst the local residents, giving visitors a truly immersive experience, and exposure to this ancient culture. The natural surroundings will enrapture visitors, with the magnificent Blasket Islands only a short boat ride away, and Mount Brandon - the second tallest mountain in the country and a great challenge for avid walkers - also close by. Be sure to visit the nearby town of Dingle; with an unrivalled selection of Irish pubs, shops and visitor attractions, and a harbour full of boats offering excursions and fishing trips, it is one of the most popular destinations in the west of Ireland.

Note: Stream and bridge at bottom of driveway. Upstairs, there is a mezzanine and access to water tanks therefore children must be supervised in these areas.
