Dingle Peninsula, Mount Brandon Cloghane, Wild Atlantic Way-Loch Cruite Cottage

This 240 year old charming farmhouse, is situated on the northern side of the DINGLE Peninsula. It is a traditional Irish Farmhouse with two double and one twin bedrooms, an open plan kitchen, sitting and dining room with a turf/wood burning stove. It is tucked in at the base of Mount Brandon (952 metres / 3123ft) the second highest mountain in Ireland,with a view of Brandon Bay in the distance, which opens into Tralee Bay. Our cottage is also located on the original family sheep farm which is still an active farm.It is located 2.5 kms from Cloghane Village and is an ideal area for visitors who like the quiet life of walking, of fishing and other outdoor pursuits and who warm to the charms of sleepy villages like Cloghane (An Clochán) and Brandon (Bréanainn) with small, cosy pubs and even smaller shops. The Cloghane-Brandon area has immense appeal with multiple mountain walks and trails as we are located on the Dingle Way sometimes called the Dingle Camino. These mountains are spectaular as they drop into Brandon Bay. Visitors can enjoy all the various watersports in Brandon, Cloghane and Fermoyle Beach which is one of the longest beach in Ireland stretching 12kms from Fermoyle to the beautiful coastal village of Maharees that offers activities such as all Water Sports, spectacular surfing, scuba diving and beach horse riding. There is something for everyone here in our little piece of heaven in the Kingdom.

Perfect getaway
Our stay at Loch Cruite Cottage was perfect in many ways. The cottage is cozy, quaint and charming and the views are spectacular. Each morning, we loved opening the front door of the cottage and basking in the beauty of the area, while saying good morning to the sheep. We enjoyed the peaceful setting, taking short walks and hikes and exploring Cloghane, Brandon and Dingle. Our stay was made extra special by the kindness and attentiveness of Paddy and Eileen. They are great hosts and provided lots of information about things to do in the area, as well as the history of the cottage. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Cloghane
Astounded by the beautiful scenery. Such a relaxing place. We didn’t stay in much as so many things to see or do. Especially loved the music nights in O’Connors and the Monday night in the village hall. Made to feel so welcome by everyone. Fresh bread and wine left for us on our arrival and everything explained perfectly by Paddy. It’s a very rural setting on a sheep farm so expect the workings of a farm around you. But we loved it and would definitely return

Dream Sabbatical
Having lived in Dingle prior, I was looking to take some time off to explore the Mount Brandon area. Paddy was quick to respond to my reservation request and when I arrived, promptly gave me a tour of Cloghane and Brandon. Paddy is an outstanding host, as well as his wife Eileen. Fresh bread and wine greeted me at the cottage and it was exactly as I was hoping. I was given detailed information about the area, hikes, community events and local music as well as being invited on several excursions up the mountain. The farmer next to the cottage warmly welcomed me and I spent time with the ewes and lambs during lambing season, which was an excellent way to get to the know the land around the cottage. I never tired of the lochs, bogs and history of the area and already have plans to return next year. This was a true Irish experience in a cottage with a long history and people connected to West Kerry.

The cottage was exactly as pictured and the countryside surrounding it is stunning. If you're looking for a place where you can de-stress and reset, look no further. I'd have stayed forever if I could have! Paddy and Eileen were wonderful to work with. Both were communicative and welcoming; Paddy even put me in contact with a family friend's auto dealership, who rented a car to me for MUCH less than the going rate (for an automatic, no less!) All in all it was an amazing experience, and I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Back to our home away from home
We lived in this cottage for all of 2019 to experience the real Ireland. Our hosts looked after us well and the people of the village were so welcoming. We had to come back for s visit and no other place would do.

An adventure in the Glen!
I went to stay for five weeks at Loch Cruite Cottage just before the 'lock-down' in Ireland. So, obviously my movements and travel in the area were restricted and not as I had originally planned. Paddy gave me a lovely warm welcome and introduced me to the cottage and its facilities. There was a fire waiting to be lit and a delicious loaf of bread and bottle of wine on the table! Parts of the cottage are 300 years old, I believe. There are lovely wooden ceilings through out. The cottage nestles into the hill and mountain at the back. It all felt cosy, comfortable and very well equipped. There are three bedrooms but only one was needed as my visitors could not join me. As it happened I had brought along a radio and CD player, this was very well used. Next door to the cottage is a farm run by Brendan, he was very busy during my stay because it was lambing season. In normal times, I think there may have been an opportunity to help feed a lamb or two. The cottage is situated in The Glen which is a valley alongside the Connor Pass. There are. a number of lakes in the valley and a few farms. The countryside is wild, rocky and beautiful. There are a few beautiful beaches a few miles away. Dingle which is normally a lively and very attractive large town is on the other side of the Connor Pass. The Dingle Peninsula has a lot of very interesting history, archaeology, Irish culture and music. I really appreciated my stay at Loch Cruite Cottage (even though the circumstances in the world were so strange and challenging) It is a place to be revisited and where you can be renewed. Thank you Paddy and Eileen.

L'Irlande, telle qu'en elle même
Au bout du bout, une ferme au milieu des moutons. Confortable et facile à chauffer en ce mois d'août arrosé et frisquet. Accueil chaleureux de Paddy, toujours de bon conseil. Paysages magnifiques et pubs accueillants.

A typical irish cottage...
We spent a week in this cosy cottage away from the hustle and bustle in a wonderful landscape.Despite of my little accident at the beginning, we enjoyed our stay. Dingle Peninsula has a lot to offer. The mixture of different types of landscapes, all clodes by, makes Dingle to a very unique place. You can have a sunny walk on the beach and watch the cloudy covered mountains; from the mountains you can watch the dunes and farm life all over the place. Not to forget the a nice evening at the O Conners with a creamy Guinness.... Thanks Eileen, thanks Padyy for your help and support. I wish you all the best. Hope we meet again. Regard, Joerg & Imke
