We are a couple from Germany who have travelled to Ireland regularly for many years. Four years ago we decided to live in Ireland permanently. We know and love the area very much and are happy to share our enthusiasm and knowledge with our guests. Our dog Taio accompanies us on these adventures
We are located on the famous "Dingle Way"- one of Irelands finest long walking ways- between Dunquin and Ballydavid. The natural surroundings are of outstanding beauty, with sheltered beaches alternating with surf-covered cliffs. Here at the westernmost tip of Europe, Irish culture and language are still very much alive.
