Cottage of the Week – The Glass House, Dingle, Co. Kerry
We’re dipping back into our Luxury Collection for this week’s Cottage of the Week. Since launching earlier this year our featured range of luxury properties has met with a great response, and since we’ve recently moved into overseas territories it seemed like the perfect time to introduce you to The Glass House in County Kerry. Then again, with a property as beautiful and unique as this single-storey house spectacular sea, beach and mountain views, there really isn’t a bad time to bring it to your attention.
It kind of makes us wonder why we took so long!
No matter. Good things come to those who wait – and experiences of the beautiful County Kerry don’t get much better than those on offer at The Glass House. As the name implies, the panoramic windows offer a spectacular appreciation of the region’s beauty. Gaze over the beach to the shimmering sea (where you might see dolphins) and marvel as land rises up into the mountains – all from the comfort of your living room!
Located just 4 miles from Dingle, it’s also perfectly situated for exploring the stunning Dingle Peninsula. Enjoy historical and archaeological sites such as Ferriter’s Cove and Gallarus Oratory, fabulous beaches, magnificent scenery and attractions. Take a boat trip to explore the remote Blasket Island archipelago where you will see a wealth of wildlife in their stunning natural habitat. Dolphin spotting boat trips are also available, and if you want to further your maritime exploration of the region you might also want to visit the Dingle Ocean World Aquarium and Dingle Wildlife & Seal Sanctuary.
Dingle’s geography makes it perfect for a host of active pursuits. You can walk, cycle or sail to your heart’s content, or you can take a more passive appreciation of your surroundings. The Dingle Peninsula hosts a wealth of nesting seabirds with rare autumn migrants. If you enjoy a round of golf you won’t find many more enjoyable courses than the Dingle Golf Club. Marvel at the sea views, breathe in the fresh air and enjoy a warm welcome.
