Really very nice, quiet, comfortable, relaxing place
The Lookout is really very much what we were looking for. We wanted a place that was out of the way, with a great water view, where we could relax in comfort. Our expectations were met. The place was comfortable and well-appointed. The beds were a little smaller than we are accustomed to, but comfortable enough. The kitchen had just about everything we needed. The location is remote but really great. There are a few restaurants/pubs and one small grocery shop in Ballyferriter (5 minutes drive away) and much more in Dingle (25 minutes drive away). Be prepared for the single lane roads as you approach the lookout...it does take a short time to learn the etiquette of how to pass on the narrow roads. The house itself is located amidst farms, with sheep and cows close by the house, but no negative consequences of their presence...and we loved listening to the "conversations" among the sheep. There are hikes available to the cliffs above the house, although you've got to find them a bit. A trip around the peninsula is an easy and pleasant drive...once you're used to the narrow roads. The place is in really great condition...a little additional upkeep/maintenance would raise the level even further. We really enjoyed it.

Stunning location, spacious house
The property is in a stunning location. It's beautiful, peaceful and a very relaxing place to stay. The house is spacious and has everything you need. The welcome basket is a nice touch, thank you and the log for the wood burner. My only comment is that the mattresses weren't very comfy, so perhaps an upgrade is due. We did have an issue with the boiler while we were staying but it was dealt with very quickly and effectively. The local stay YNA host was great. Overall a fantastic holiday and I would recommend this property.

Beautiful Home! But Covid 19 Prohibited Staying
We had the joy of staying at this property in 2019 and so looked forward to staying again. However, due to Covid, our flight was cancelled and we were not able to come - even though some restrictions began to lift, our trip was cancelled. We hope to stay here in the future.

Not very comfortable
I loved the location, it's peaceful and beautiful. While online it says Brandon the house is actually in Smerwick which I wish I'd known, but not the biggest deal. It was clean, and the kitchen was nice to use as well. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is as follows: 1-Star was lost due to the beds, which need to be replaced, they are just subpar, to say the least. We ended up leaving one day early because we just couldn't deal with sleeping another night in the beds. .5 Star lost because of the overall comfort of the home, to mention just one example: the dining room table, albeit nice, is too short for the chairs so it's impossible to sit at the table and eat. We had to eat most meals either at the kitchen bar or in another room which was not ideal. .5 star lost for the Wi-fi . While we stayed at the home the wifi was cut off one night due to a non-payment of a bill. While I messaged the manager early in the day about this issue (as per the instructions) the following day he didn't get back to me and I had to end up calling him about it. While it was eventually fixed, we were working from the location so it was a big inconvenience that the Wi-fi was not working for nearly 24 hours. Finally, I also feel we were asked to do too much cleaning before we left. While the place was in no way a mess- we were there for a week, having to go around and empty all of the bins, take things to the shed, load up the dishwasher etc or face a higher fee seems silly. We paid for a cleaning service with our booking fee this shouldn't be required when leaving a property.

Great location, lovely setting - but not a comfortable house
Hard to beat the location and setting, but we left with an uncomfortable feeling about the house. It seemed more like a commercial operation than a house that someone had lived in. Amenities were minimal and kitchen provisions non-existent: no salt, no cooking oil - just a basket of sweets and nuts. Not what you need coming in the first night from a long drive. Beds were lumpy and there were little annoying things like nothing firm to hold onto stepping in and out of the tub shower. We loved the area wishing we could stay longer, but with no wish to linger in the house.

Once again a wonderful visit to Ballyferriter
The house was excellent, location is what I prefer, very remote. Jack the Mgr was in regular contact and a great guy. Hard to find a better location for hiking trails and views, but this area is filled with wonderful trails and just about 15 minutes outside Dingle. Looking forward to my 5th trip back in the future. Thank you.

A magical place!
From the family room, the dining room and the master bedroom, there are incredible views of Smerwick harbor and the mountains of dingle. Directly to the north are the three sisters mountain range. This is off the beaten path, but well worth it. We could just sit outside and see heaven all around us. At night the quiet was stunning and only disturbed by the bleating of sheep or the mooing of a cow The house is perfect and extremely well done. We felt totally comfortable and at ease. A bargain at twice the price
