Castlegregory - Green Fields, Blue Seas, Majestic Mountains!

Have an unforgettable time at the Martramane House in picturesque Castlegregory on the Dingle Peninsula.

This beautiful self-catering house is in County Kerry on the southwest coast of Ireland. Castlegregory, known as 'Castle' by the locals, has become quite the artists colony, because of its serenity, history, and brilliant views. From every window in the house, you will enjoy breathtaking beauty, including Brandon bay, the Atlantic ocean, the 3100 foot high Brandon Mountain, and Loch Gil. Walk into town, for restaurants, pubs with traditional music, art, historic St. Mary's Church, and a fully stocked grocery store.

The area is well known for its hiking, windsurfing, water sports, horseback riding, and antiquities dating back to the first millennium. It's close to several of the world's greatest golf courses, 45 minutes to Ballybounion. Walk the miles of sandy beaches and more.

The Dingle Peninsula has the reputation for having an exhilarating blend of mountain scenery, big skies, historic sites, rugged coastlines contrasted by sandy beaches, and the friendliest most generous people in Ireland.

Very basic and unhomely
Martramane House did not meet the requirements of a "holiday home". It was far less comfortable than our own home and in need of improvement. I would describe it more as hostel accommodation. No check-in details were provided; I had to chase them down in the hours before our arrival, which caused undue stress. On arrival, the house was cold and all the windows were open. The boiler in the outside plant room had been turned off and we had not been told. We were left cold the first night and morning. The accommodation is old with uncomfortable furniture. The property is sparsely decorated, which gave it a sinister air, far from homely. There were plenty of stained carpets, outdated fixtures and broken items. I would guess that no money had been spent on this house since the 1990s. The area is lovely and I would visit again, but I certainly wouldn't stay here.

Quiet, peaceful and excellent location
We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to stay in Castle Gregory. We loved being able to walk in the town and enjoy the village. The house itself was roomy and had everything we needed for cooking meals and unwinding after a day of sightseeing. We were very appreciative of the property managers attention And the communication with the owners. Thank you so much for having us.

Castlegregory holiday
We had an enjoyable stay in Martramane House in Castlegregory. The house is old, but well located on the outskirts of the village (5 mins) walk to shops, pubs, restaurants. There are great facilities nearby, forest walk, hiking (mild to very strenuous), great scenery and stunning beaches with plenty of water activities for all ages. The sleeping accommodation is great, the living areas are spacious, the garden and parking is excellent. The views from the house are good and the welcome from the locally appointed agent is excellent - friendly, proactive and very helpful.

Nice location
overall the house matched what was advertised. Location is great for easy walking access to village and beach but nicely located on quiet country road. We did find the house abit damp but we could put on the heating which helped. Plenty of space for family with kids. Nice garden/outdoor space and plenty of parking. The oven/hob was abit temperamental but it was manageable Overalla good base for exploring the area.

Nice property, location and owner
Martramane House in Castlegregory was a very nice cottage in a beautiful location. It provided us a great hub to do day trips on the Dingle Peninsula during a three day stay. House was well supplied and the kitchen had everything we needed. The only quibble was that the internet service was not working, which created a problem due to a family health crisis back home. We had a number of communications with Mindy the owner before and during our stay and she was always responsive and helpful. Would recommend this place to others seeking a scenic and secluded stay in the area.

Spacious house in Castlegregory
We stayed in Martramane House. This house slept 11 people and we found the bedrooms adequate for 11 people. the photos are true to reality. The living room and dining room were good too (plenty of space for us to sit around in the evening and sit to the table to eat), with another space, a sunroom to the front of the house. The kitchen was well equipped but the counter space is on the small side for catering for 11 people. There was only one bathroom (two toilets were separate) and this was very tight for so many people (this is why I have only given a 4 star rating). The house is well situated within walking distance of the village (small supermarket and 3 pubs there, as well as other usual village shops), and there are plenty of options for day trips, beach, swimming, mountain, scenery, golf, walking and other trips. Castlegregory itself is a beautiful area.

Great property!
We had a great time staying here! It is a very well kept and lovely place! My favorite area was the very spacious sunroom and the rest of my family loved the house as well. The people in the town were lovely! Moe's cafe had great full Irish breakfast. Would definitely stay here again!!!

Basic but Cozy
We stayed at Martramane house for 3 nights in September and found it to be very basic but cozy overall. There was plenty of room for 8 of us, including kids. The living room was a great atmosphere with the fireplace and the dining room was a nice size to seat us all. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable. There are two toilets, however only one shower on the second floor. It would've been nice to have another shower to accommodate the first floor bedrooms as well. The house is located on a very quiet lane in the town. One thing we would've loved to see more of is the view from the house which is hampered by the tall hedges. Overall, we found it to be a nice gathering place after our daily excursions. We also really enjoyed NatterJack's pub in the evenings. The house is located a close drive to the ocean and horseback riding, which we loved!

Charming Country Home in Dingle with just the essentials
Mindy's home in Castlegregory is charming and cozy. It's surrounded by green fields and sheep - the views from the second floor are as picturesque as you can find. It's walking distance to the small town it's situated within and the Spar grocery store there. We drove to many of the main sights in Dingle in 30-45 minutes. The bedrooms and the bathrooms were clean and warm. The hot water was readily available, thanks to the instructions we were given upon check-in. The caretaker who stopped by also gave us firewood for the fireplace and fresh bread for breakfast. Very thoughtful! However, you are in the Irish countryside, so arrive prepared for what you will find - such as minimal speed on the wifi, and dark streets without street lights after sunset. Also, the bathroom situation is somewhat awkward - there are no mirrors above the sinks in the two standalone toilets. There's only one bath for all the bedrooms and there's no lock on it (can be awkward when there's a large group using the same bathroom - a lot of knocking happened prior to entry). Overall, we liked our stay though there are some add-ons such as mirrors and locks that would have improved the experience. Great place to stay to see Dingle at an affordable rate. Thank you for taking care of us so well Mindy!

Very old fashioned and nothing worked
Arrived to find a list of maintenance issues which included washing machine, dishwasher and VCR not working amongst other things, although bedding had been cleaned the duvet cover was stained badly. Garden hadn't been maintained the grass hadn't been cut or hedges, and absolutely no outside furniture whatsoever which is ridiculous as its a holiday let. Owner refunded to us the cleaning costs of 100 euro but didn't really compensate for the fact the place had been neglected. I have holiday lets myself in the lakes so I was reluctant to write a bad review however I think potential guests should be aware. I know the owners live abroad but that should be no excuse if charging and advertising as a holiday let in such poor condition, it needs money spending on it to give it more of a holiday feel and appliances should be working, it's only saving grace was its location to the village but that's about the only positive I could find
