“There cannot be a holiday cottage with views to surpass those at Stone Cottage.”

The views are spellbinding. Really cosy, comfortable well equipped cottage with spacious airy bedrooms, comfy beds, lovely bedding & bath towels. A perfect base for The Dingle Way & the other wonderful sites on the Dingle Peninsula. Angela & Jim were delightful hosts.

“Perfect holiday home.”

Comfortable, elegant, spotlessly clean, quiet and beautiful located. Rural surroundings in a good distance of any kind of common tourist "entertainment". Very nice hosts.

Annie March 2023

“A gorgeous cottage, with small touches that really make your stay memorable.”

Beautiful views, comfy beds, great directions and friendly hosts! We would definitely stay again. If you are driving, I would be mindful of (very cute and friendly) dogs who can be found exploring the roads when approaching the cottage. Unfortunately, due to personal news, our stay was unexpectedly cut short. The hosts were extremely understanding and we look forward to coming back to make up for lost exploring time!

- Annie, March 2023

Thank you so much for the positive feedback and for choosing to stay at Stone Cottage. W e hope you will be able to visit again in the future. Angela & Jim. Property Owner

Yvonne May 2022

“Thank you so much for letting us stay at Stone Cottage.”

It was a really fabulous holiday and the house is absolutely perfect.in every way. The location is stunning. The only comment I might make is that the directions to it might be made a little clearer (which I guess is something Sykes should sort out?).

- Yvonne, May 2022

Thanks for the positive review, it was a pleasure to have you stay and we are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time here . Property Owner

Annette April 2022

“This is hands down one of the best holiday homes we've stayed in in Ireland.”

It's cosy and spacious, well equipped and comfortable. (My only suggestion would be to have a dining table that sits 6.) We shall be back for the views alone, wow!

- Annette, April 2022

Thanks so much for the great review. I understand your point of view about the table it's just very tight for space in the kitchen but will consider your comments. I do hope you will visit again and am delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay. Angela. Property Owner

Michael September 2021

“Jim and Angela were great hosts and the cottage is very spacious yet cosy.”

Many great walks nearby, via dingle way to brandon via mas an tiompain or via ballybrack and binn na mna which jim reccommended - an easyish and short climb but with stunning views of ocean. An bohar pub is about 20 mins walk with great coffee, food and wifi. There is a local bus service (kennedy's) to dingle, feohanagh and other local villages / towns - timetable is online. I hope I'll be able to visit again.

- Michael, September 2021

Thanks Michael for the fab review, we are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to seeing you again. Angela and Jim . Property Owner

Colm June 2021

“Our second visit to this absolutely fantastic cottage.”

Comfort and character in abundance, with probably the best view you can imagine. The view alone makes this cottage worth your trip to Kerry!! Everything you require is supplied but for the only small (VERY) service that would be nice , was broadband WiFi. 4G is available but with the old walls of the house, the signal is not very strong inside. All in all, you could not ask for a better Holiday Rent!!!!

“Excellent holiday cottage in lovely scenic area and beaches are close with the town of Dingle approx 15 Kms distance”

- Tom, July 2018
Sue July 2018

“Beautiful views from the cottage, better than the photos showed.”

We were fine for pillows as there were only four of us, but only one pillow was supplied per bed. Other than that the house was very well equipped and in a great location.

- Sue, July 2018
Patti June 2018

“We spent 10 days in Ireland and our time at the Stone Cottage was our favorite part of our vacation.”

We loved exploring Dingle Peninsula and coming back to the peaceful cottage was a perfect way to end the day. Sitting in the backyard and taking in the beautiful vistas was absolutely amazing!

- Patti, June 2018
Mark March 2018

“High quality accommodation in a wonderful setting.”

Friendly owner, everything provided. Highly recommended.

- Mark, March 2018
Kenneth March 2018

“Beautiful cottage, modern and suits needs of young family.”

Nice and warm and stunning views from all windows. Directions to the cottage should be given, as it’s no where near Ballydavid. Co-ordinates are on the website but in very small writing. A simple FAQ sheet would help with small things like nearest shop/pub/restaraunt/takeaway/church and to be left with all other information sheets. No large bin given to dispose of bins that fill up in the house. Overall we enjoyed our stay, it’s was what we expected with the exception of the small view advisory bits mentioned. Would come back. PS you will need a car to get here.

- Kenneth, March 2018
Kevin January 2018

“The location of the Stone cottage is exceptional!”

Terry September 2017

“The location was excellent, vehicle parking not so good.”

the car had to be left on the side of the road and was showered with grit etc from passing vehicles. The kitchen was not clean the cooker was old and not up to the normal standards, the cupboards weren't clean one was particularly bad. We will definitely not go back to this property its not up to the standards of Sykes properties we have rented before and since a thumbs down.

- Terry, September 2017

David May 2015

“An excellent home located in a beautiful area Northwest of Dingle.”

We loved the rural setting with all of the sheep and the farmers dogs. There are ocean views from the back of the property and the master bed room. The owner was very nice and interesting to talk with. The cottage was spotless.

- David, May 2015
Ronnie May 2014

“The house and location were great.”

Having a fire when the weather was not so good was wonderful. Lovely walks immediately surrounding the property. Lots of space in the house.

“Beautiful spot, lovely home, very clean.”

A very spectacular location.

Lorraine June 2013

“The whole family loved the landscape of the Dingle peninsula.”

The views and the hikes along the cliffs, coastline and up the mountains were spectacular. We also enjoyed the town of Dingle, the pubs (in town and down the road from the cottage). The cottage was perfect: a beautiful stone building, completely renovated inside. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. The cottage looks out on the ocean, cliffs and mountains. I loved being able to go for amazing walks without driving anywhere. We shopped for groceries in the town of Dingle and cooked great meals together at the cottage and had wonderful family time. We loved the friendly, Irish people. Thank you, we will remember this holiday.

- Lorraine, June 2013
Julia April 2013
