'Allow yourself to be enchanted by Corca Dhuibhne (West Kerry),a land of stunning impressive mountains, spectacular coastline and sandy beaches.
Spend time in a place rich in tradition, literature and culture, where our native Irish language prospers but most of all spend time in a beautiful house where you can marvel at the splendour of its surroundings with every modern convenience the house offers privacy and comfort.
There is few places in the world that will thoroughly take your breath away as the view from inside or outside or on the patio of the cottage overlooking Clogher Beach /Sybhil Head and the 3 high points called the 3 sisters /mountains and the vast Atlantic Ocean,,, the most photographed point of the most scenic of drives .the home is only 20minute drive from idilic Dingle town

This is no ordinary cottage, quite apart from breath-taking views from every windows,the house is utterly delightful and comfortable with oil fired central heating,wooden floors and subtle decor which sets the tone in this tranquil hideaway. Situated right at the heart of what
National Geographic calls it 'the Most Beautiful Place on Earth .The spectacular views of the rugged cliffs which make up the coastline can be seen from every window of the house.


It overlooks Clochar Beach, Sybil head,The Three Sisters, Mount Brandon,Smerwick Harbour..It inspired classic films such as David Leans 'Ryan's Daughter' Tom Cruise/Nicole Kidman epic 'Far and Away'.




Situated on the Panoramic Slea Head drive and the Dingle Way,10Km from the quaint fishing town of Dingle, Golf links, horse riding,hill walking, and beautiful safe sandy beaches close by.


Sheep graze the lush land around the Stone House.
You can walk through the fields attached to the house and feel the freedom of living in the country also you can walk to the cliffs through the fields and sit on the stone wall and watch the waves and the ocean and the surrounding hills and cliffs and feel the peace and tranquility seep through your body!!

The house is probably the best situated on the dingle peninsula with views that awe-inspiring, the pictures that accompany this sight are all the the views you will experience from you visit.

“A View to Die For” still beyond the description!!!
NO words!!! THIS Place!!! Still beyond the pictures and description! We thought it was too good to be true and was ready to be disappointed! It just can’t be as amazing as the pics and description AND the price! Owner, Brian, was the nicest! We wanted to sit down and have dinner with he and his wife! To wake up with the sheep Baahjng and cows mooing, the horses on the far ridge and the amazing view! The house was so accommodating with the 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths and a powder room! Such a warm, cozy, home! We did not want to leave! Just no way to recommend this beautiful paradise high enough!!’And you are right on the Famous Slea Head loop! Brian, thank you for an incredible memory of a lifetime for our family!!!

Once again we were thrilled to be here!
This was our 3rd stay with Philomena and Brian in their perfect, lovely, traditional Irish Cottage! As always, the view and the area is the most beautiful in all of Ireland! The hospitality cannot be outdone, everything you need is already thought of and done for you, ready and waiting! It is hard to leave but, you will return again & again! Thank you both for the dream vacation you have always provided for us!

August 2023. 15years years later the same beautiful place. The first time the family came with my husband. This time to bring his memory to one of his favorite places with family. House meets every need. Close by cafe/art studio. Walks on the strand. I hope it won’t be 25 years till I go back. Thanks to the host family

Dream Vacation
WOW!!! The first word that comes to mind when I am thinking back to this incredible property. From the moment you pull into the drive the views take your breath away. The house itself is the perfect size for a large family or group. Each window in the house has a view. The living room is the perfect size for relaxing and visiting with family. The bedrooms are all very spacious and have a bathroom attached. We had to fight over who got the master bedroom upstairs with the amazing views. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need for making coffee, tea, and cooking. Brian is so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. He advised us on flying into Dublin and taking the train into Tralee to get our rental car which was the best way to go. Thanks Brian! Going during off season was also a plus as we were some of the only tourist there and made driving on the skinny roads a little easier. Overall, this property was an absolute dream and we would love to return one day!!

Top Notch In Every Way
Philomena and her son, Brian delivered a vacation of a lifetime. 5 star service. The views - spectacular! The home - perfection in its style, size and structure. Great fit for two families/ six guests. Tig Aigne Cafe had warm scones everyday and best scones just a stone's throw away. The colorful town of Dingle just a short jaunt. Great pics and music! This is a must if you want to see Ireland in its full glory.

Beautiful property and location!
This is one of those rare occasions where the pictures do not due the property and especially the views justice. Everything was exactly as described, but more beautiful. I kept saying, "It feels like something out of a movie," and then reminded myself that it was. We slept with the curtains open (in the larger bedroom upstairs) so the view was the first thing we could see upon waking up. We rented both the larger cottage and the smaller one for our large family group and everything was perfect. Brian was wonderful to work with and super responsive.

The communication was spot on from what we expected, always responded promptly, the location was just a beautiful spot with the ocean right out the window. I would stay here again and again if the chance to go back comes up. Kids loved having separate rooms and they loved the sheep right out the window. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking to stay in the area

Beautiful cottage in a stunning location
The perfect property for family or larger party holidays. Four comfortable bedrooms - all with en-suites, although be prepared to argue about who gets the bedroom with the fantastic views! A really well equipped kitchen makes the cottage ideal for self-catering, as well as the large dining area and outside balcony. Plenty of comfortable seating space in the living area to watch the many DVDs or read the extensive selection of books. Great washing and drying facilities in the separate laundry room. Best of all is the location, with its stunning views and within easy walking distance to the beach. We would love to come back.

Fabulous location with stunning views & guaranteed four seasons in an hour!!
Plenty of room both inside and outside to get together with friends and family. It was very comfortable touring once we learned to do the Dingle way in a clockwise direction! Rugged hillside and path walking around with amazing views. The house is well furnished - we cooked a lot and the kitchen is very well stocked. Brian was just excellent - very responsive and full of local stories. Tig Aine is 2 minutes walk away with excellent coffee and great food for lunch or early dinner. After 2 weeks there, we felt we owned the place - sad to move on. Will certainly remember our experience very fondly.

Most beautiful place
Come here for stunning views of the ocean, fields, sheep and rainbows. The best hiking and easiest access (out the front door!) I’ve ever experienced. Philomena and Sarah will help with anything and always in good cheer. Ballyferriter is untarnished and open. I only recommend that you get proper directions to the house-do not use Slea Head Drive to get to the house especially in the rain and after a long flight like we did. You can cut through the fields and it’s safer(turn just after Dingle Whiskey). Take the tour of Dingle Whiskey- the kid is great! Have a drink at O’Flahertys and step into 1869. Eat fish at The Fish Box and talk to the family.

Simply a stunner
We (3 brothers, a sister and a sister-in-law) stayed at Tig Meaig for the last 2 weeks of September, 2019. We can vouch for the truth of every 5-star review here. This is, indeed, a beautiful, spacious and well-maintained home. And the pictures cannot do justice to the stunning location. Philomena and Sharon helped to make our vacation one of the best possible. If we are fortunate enough to return to Ireland, it will be to Tig Meaig. Whether we are able to return or not, we will be spreading the word to any and all who travel to Ireland that this is the place to stay.

Absolutely lovely
This property and its host are absolutely lovely. The house itself is cozy, clean, and comfortable, with soft sheets and towels, comfortable beds, and a large dining room table to seat family and friends. The house is full of light, thanks to the skylights, which made it a pleasure to be in even during rain showers. Most of all, the view from the deck is breathtaking; it's even more beautiful than the pictures posted here. We loved hiking down to the beach and on the bluffs with the kids and climbing on the rocks near the ocean. We also had delicious food at the cafe nearby. The host and her daughter went above and beyond for us and we so appreciated their kindness. My husband and I have traveled quite a bit and we both feel that this area is one of the loveliest we've been to. We dream of returning!
