About this property
Ballydavid 4 miles. Located in the coastal hamlet of Ballinahow, just 4 miles from the pretty village of Ballydavid is this beautiful stone cottage. This Ballydavid cottage is over 100 years old, but has been lovingly refurbished to a fantastic standard and still maintains elements of the original character, such as the thick stone walls. Wonderfully presented, the sitting room has a modern feel and benefits from stylish leather furniture and a small dining area, ideal for enjoying breakfast with the morning paper. The four comfortable bedrooms at this Ballydavid cottage offer excellent sleeping accommodation for any party, with the ground floor en-suite bedroom a particular highlight due to its spacious nature and doors onto the patio where spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean and sea cliffs can be enjoyed across picturesque rural vistas. Lovers of the great outdoors are perfectly placed at this Ballydavid cottage, with Mount Brandon, Ireland's highest peak outside of the Macgillycuddy's Reeks range, on your doorstep, and a selection of wonderful, sandy beaches in the area. Take a stroll to the local pier and cast a line and see what bites, or enjoy the 'craic agus ceol' - hospitality and traditional music in the nearby Bothar Pub. The famous and popular town of Dingle is just a short drive away and with so much to see and do on this naturally stunning peninsula, this Ballydavid cottage is the perfect spot from which to base your Irish adventure.

David
The pictures on the site do not do justice to quite how lovely the location is and the view from the cottage. Stunning view of sea and coast everchanging with the light. We were very comfortable, with kitchen to cook good meals. Great starting point for Mount Brandon walks. We got information promptly when required from owners. Would be happy to stay there again and to recommend Stone Cottage. Only one pub/restaurant but good and within walking distance. Excellent. Thanks!

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.

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