For a really relaxing break in a superb location

Stayed at this property with my family including 3 children. We had a super time. Received a lovely welcome with tea, coffee, milk, and freshly baked scones on arrival after our drive from Shannon airport. The house is as described on the advert and the owners couldn't be more helpful.The open log fire was set and we had a couple of cosy evenings by it just for the experience. The house is equipped with everything you would need. It is spacious, comfortable and clean and was ideal for our stay. The location is an ideal base for exploring the Dingle Peninsula. The views are spectacular with mountains and a waterfall to the rear, the Atlantic ocean to the front and Mount Brandon (Ireland's 2nd highest mountain) looming to the side. The children loved the freedom of roaming the field at the back of the house and were enthralled with the sheep grazing beside us.The nearby villages of Cloghane and Brandon and quaint fishing villages and we even tried our hand at some mackeral fishing from the Pier.Plenty of Irish music sessions in the local pubs and we really felt we lived the Irish experience. Fermoyle beach which is totally unspoilt and beautiful was a few minutes drive, so needless to say, we spent some quality time there when the weather permitted. Dingle town is approx 4.5km away over a most stunning Connor Pass road and from there you can take the Slea Head drive! Not to be missed! Plenty of quaint shops, restaurants & pubs. We also visited Killarney which is only a 50 minute drive. There was so much to see and do that we really needed another 2 weeks. I would definetly recommend Scorid Cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation in the most beautiful setting and will be making a return visit for sure.
