“Its a spacious house in a great position - quiet spot convenient for everywhere on Dingle, and walking distance to a lovely pub and shop.”

The living space is nice and big - but it would be nice to have matching chairs for the table, and another sofa rather than armchairs. It wasn't completely clean when we arrived (2 bins and a table top were missed), but I know there was a temporary cleaner on this occasion so it is probably a one off issue.

“The only issue was the shower in the downstairs toilet.”

The shower head was difficult to use as the water was running out under the door and soaking the passage way outside. It would be useful to but some sort of lip to prevent this. Otherwise the accommodation was great. Very private and remote which is why we enjoyed it.

“Our stay at Mount Brandon cottage was perfect, big thank you to Brendan for having such a lovely home, he's a gentleman.”

The hous was lovely, had everything we needed, very comfortable and very spacious and amazing views all around the house and the garden is beautiful and very well kept, We will 100% be back again, we had such an amazing holiday, with Dingle only a short drive away and the beach down the road and Mount Brandon itself, it was all just amazing.

“We booked this listing since it had enough bedrooms for our 4 kids and according to the listing it was close to different hiking spots, which was a big bonus for my husband.”

We arrived at night time so we weren’t exactly sure what the surrounding area looked like till the next morning. All I can say is the scenery out of the windows and surrounding the house is amazing!!! I would literally just stare out the bathroom window in complete awe at how beautiful it was. Besides that the house had everything we needed as far as washing machine, fully equipped kitchen and heaters that worked. The bedrooms are also nice and cozy with enough pillows and blankets. While we stayed here we also enjoyed being visited by the neighbourhood cats, which was always a pleasant surprise in the morning. The only thing is that the downstairs did get a bit cold in the living room area unless the fireplace was in use, but it was still manageable. All in all, we would definitely recommend this house, it is perfect for anyone who needs a break from the hustle and bustle, to just be at peace in nature.

Marina June 2025

“We loved this large, beautiful situated cottage.”

The views were magnificent and the village was a short drive away. The location was quite and relaxing There are several beautiful beaches in the vicinity and Dingle can be reached quickly via the Conner pass. There are several well marked hiking trails around the village and the views are amazing. I am considering returning next year for several weeks.

“Good location and we enjoyed our time, very easy to find and good communication.”

The heating was a bit difficult to understand at first but then not a problem. We were staying in winter and it was good to have a fire. The kitchen roof leaked a bit but no problem. I would stay there again and we loved our time there. We hope to be back!

“The house is in a beautiful position and accommodates a large group with ease.”

However, it was very dusty and in one ground floor bedroom damp. The shower is in my opinion dangerous as it suddenly shoots out very hot water without warning despite being on a low temperature which means you can’t trust it. I thought I was going to be burned when it happened to me. We had a good time despite this but my holiday was ruined when on the last day we stripped the beds as requested and I was revolted by what I saw. The bedding was stained and the pillows in the downstairs bedroom can only be described as disgusting. I felt guilty that I had invited my family for our special anniversary and they had had to sleep on that.

“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
Michael June 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.

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

“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.

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.

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.
