Pink Gate Cottage is located in a stunning part of the island, with fantastic views of the Atlantic Ocean, the 'Blasket Islands' and ‘Dingle Bay'. This traditional 200 year old Irish cottage was recently renovated to high standard. It has a large garden with private entrance, parking, and sunny patio area with facilities for 'al fresco' dining. You will also find a double hammock in the garden where you can enjoy a glass of wine while overlooking the sailing boats going by in 'Dingle Bay'. The ground floor has a king size Victorian bed, walk in wardrobe and en-suite with power shower etc. The big country kitchen with stove and very high quality fittings leads to the sitting room - again furnished to the highest standard - leads to the winter garden with large glass windows that will make the best of the views over ocean. Upstairs, there are 2 bedrooms, 1 super king size bed and 2 single beds. A large bathroom with freestanding Victorian bath has a separate toilette. Wonderful at Xmas.
