Superb location!
This house met all our needs as a family of four plus a dog. The house was cosy with all the facilities we needed. It's location is great for handy access to some great walks long or short. We walked to the Blasket Visitors Centre which comes highly recommended especially prior to a trip out to Blasket Mor. We were also able to walk from the house (10 mins) to Dunquin Harbour to get the ferry out to the island. Returning back to the house each evening we enjoyed a toasty fire and comfortable beds. Phenomena was very helpful and a great host. A great spot to enjoy this beautiful part of Kerry. Go raibh míle maith agat.

Peace and beauty with wonderful hosts!!
I've stayed with the wonderful Úi Chonchúir (O'Connor) family (Phil, Alec, and Brian) before and my planning for another trip to Dingle was predicated on finding an available period to stay with them once again in Baile na Ratha cottage. The cottage is beautiful, comfortable to stay in, within walking distance of many of the things to see and do in the west end of Dingle, and I feel it is my home away from home. It even has one of my panoramic photos in pride of place over the fireplace from a previous trip [thank you Phil!!!] I cannot say how welcomed I was on showing up again at the cottage, with warm hugs from the beautiful soul Phil, and several long evening "chin wags" talking with Brian. I felt like long lost family. You will love staying there!!
