The view from this house is spectacular, the photos really do not do it justice.
We loved the fact we could bring the dog - thank you Theresa and Bernard - it is so hard funding somewhere to stay where we can bring the family pet. The house is very comfortable, you can tell it is newly built. We found it no problem, but that was doing a google street view beforehand and with a bit of detective work. locating the area where the house was built as street view has not been updated since 2011. The house is in a remote spot, but definitely worth it. The website is slightly misleading to say it is the town of Dungloe (which is a 15 min drive away) it is outside a small village called Maghery. There are no shops and one bar. The "cafe" unfortunately closed for the summer while we were there (last week in August) so we did not get a chance to try it. We went to Arranmore Island, Narin Beach, Portnoo and Glenveagh National Park. All worth a visit, though would definitely recommend Glenveagh on a dry day! My only minor quibble with the house would be the lack of kitchen accessories for cooking - no grater, kitchen scissors, oven gloves, however I'm sure Bernard and Theresa will remedy that. Dungloe has an Aldi and Lidl and another supermarket on the main street/corner of Cope St which had a lovely bakery. House would benefit from a BBQ! Looking forward to booking next year, however we see it is already fully booked July 2020 - very disappointed.

Beautiful modern bungalow with stunning panoramic view Comfortable beds and sofas and well equipped kitchen (if 6 guests stayed, we would definitely need more crockery).
It was a lovely holiday and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The standard of the cottage was very good and it was spacious full of light. The dog also loved the cottage and the garden and was fascinated by the wandering little lawnmower. However, their were a couple of little niggles for a 5 star rated cottage which I will mention as honest feedback. I would normally expect a welcome pack, with some milk, local eggs etc, with a welcome letter on the table. This is always a nice touch, and very gratefully received when you can't immediately get to a local shop. The kitchen was well equipped with lots of glasses, cups, teapot etc but many were not within easy reach for my wife and there was no stepping stool. Also, there were a few light bulbs which needed replaced and I know that most housekeepers would check this at changeover. Finally, it would have been nice to have the electric gate working to prevent visiting sheep 'fertilising' the lawn and driveway. However, none of these things would stop us returning or giving a good recommendation.

The cottage while dog friendly inside did not have a gate and were using bins to keep dogs in and could easily jump over them or get out between the wheels: The house while it provided everything and good location it needed windows cleaned badly and couches were not comfortable and the mattresses needed replacing on beds the springs are coming through: car parking is not good as itâs hit and miss and if your bringing luggage dogs or if you had children you have to park on double lines to get near the door:there is a lawn which could be used to make a car space and still have garden space: The slugs come in under the door at night as the back door has a space and they get in The washing machine door wouldnât open and although l rang the owner they were to get the door fixed they didnât and l didnât get a call back or any update and still didnât:had to leave the washing in it when we left While the house is a fine house itâs tired and needs a revamp and better communication:The photo advertising it is a very old one

Direen Cottage is a very well appointed cottage which was so clean and fresh.
Sleeps 6 comfortably with super comfy beds. Outdoors there is seating with a bbq and lots of space in the private garden. On arrival we found the fridge and kitchen stocked with all the makings of an Irish breakfast, along with fresh baked wheaten bread, scones and fresh fruit. We have never had the likes of this at any other self catering property we've stayed at. There was also a supply of turf for the stove! The house is equipped with all you could need, however the absence of WiFi was felt -especially by our kids! Thankfully there was very good 4G signal at the location from our network providers. The location itself is a little removed - 20 min drive to Listowel. Athea itself is a very small village with little amenities. But we used Direen Cottage as a base for exploring North Kerry as far down as Dingle, along with West Limerick and Co. Claire (a car ferry is located 20 mins away in Tarbert for trips to Kilrush & Kilkee) All in all, a great little base for travelling around this area, which is stunning in itself!

The property and location are stunning.
The view from the front drive-way is unbelievable. Just sat on the patio looking out into the bay and the various weather patterns forming and the sound of the sea is amazing. Its a tricky drive up from Maghery on a single track road to find the property, but easily mastered after driven once to the property. Highly recommend exploring around Crohy Head (Tower and the Rocks) and the circular walk around the Head (turning left from the property) and back up through Maghery is excellent. Trip to Aranmore Island was brillant and the Lobster Pot, gastro pub mentioned in the property notes in Burtonport, close to the Ferry serves excellent food. Shopped a few times in the Supervalue Supermarket in Dunglow which was very good. The property is very modern, eco controlled via a heat pump and underfloor heating. It was very clean and well equiped. It worth a trip down to the local Community Centre on a Friday night for Fish and Chips and a drink in the Strand pub. Enjoyed our time at Crohy Head and highly recommend the property.
