Glór na hAbhann (sound of the River) is a brand new development of holiday homes in Dingle town.  It is a small and exclusive development of just 10 holiday homes each of which has 4 spacious bedrooms and can accommodate up to 8 people.  All houses offer free WIFi to our guests.

The moment you enter the front door you will immediately be greeted with the crisp freshness of these brand new holiday homes. The sitting room is spacious yet cosy and is home to two comfortable couches, a large TV and DVD player and a smart coffee table. There are plenty of scatter cushions, prints on the walls and unusual lampshades to add real personality to the room.

The kitchen is a warm and friendly room.  It faces out over the back garden and catches lots of sunlight.  There is a dark wood dining table and chairs in the kitchen and lots of preparation space to enjoy preparing meals together.  The kitchen is equipped with all the appliances you would expect including fridge/freezer, cooker, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer.

Glass patio doors lead from the kitchen to your private patio area and back garden.  These holiday homes all offer a private enclosed back garden area.

One of the four bedrooms is located downstairs (a twin bedroom with two single beds) along with a bathroom with shower.  There is plenty of storage space under the stairs for buggies, bikes, golf clubs or whatever you bring with you.

Please note that these houses are not pet-friendly.  There is a local kennels however that you could use.

Upstairs are three roomy bedrooms.  The master bedroom is to the rear and overlooks the back garden. It is really tastefully furnished and has a super king sized bed.  There is a dressing table, chair and mirror in the room that will inspire you to take time out just for you for a moment or two.  This bedroom also has an ensuite bathroom with shower.

The main bathroom is also located upstairs with a bath and shower over bath.  This can be shared between the other two bedrooms upstairs - one double bedroom and one twin bedroom (with two single beds).

To the front of the houses is the small river which has been beautifully planted along the banks to make it a pleasant place to while away a summer's evening.
