Spaces Living area and dining room The main living area is a funky and stylish space. It’s a bright and cheerful room filled with light from the large windows. Quirky contemporary art and furnishings give this getaway a fun and lively vibe. Comfort and practicality meet with tiled floors ready for sandy toes, and a squashy leather couch and bucket chair, for cosy evenings in front of the TV, warmed by the stove fire. A large dining table with bench style seating and chairs makes the most of the space.
Kitchen The compact kitchen has everything you need to fuel up for a fun day out—cooker and hob, microwave, double toaster (four slice) and fridge freezer, as well as a washing machine. Clever storage makes the most of the space.
Bathroom The spacious and contemporary tiled shower room has a double width shower tray, electric shower, WC and sink.
Bedroom The cosy bedrooms all have wooden floors, stylish contemporary furniture and are equipped with bedside reading lights. A large double bedroom to rear is decorated with stylish drawers and hanging storage, a mirror/vanity and high ceilings. The middle bedroom is kitted out for kids with a bunk bed with a double on the bottom bunk. The front double bedroom has practical and stylish storage with funky retro styled drawers and hanging rail/ case rack, contemporary style and retro travel posters to inspire your next trip!

Perfect
My family was traveling around Ireland for several weeks and this was our last stop. Everyone said it was their favorite. There was a welcome gift with wine and snacks. The host thought of so many little things that made our stay more comfortable (hooks, mirrors, salt and pepper, games, hammock) We loved the eclectic decor. Have already recommended to two people

Quaint retreat
We loved the cozy space and all of the artistic touches. The communication with Rosie the house manager was excellent. It is an ideal location if you’re looking for some quietude but, easy access to Dingle center. We enjoyed walking the beach which was a 5 minute walk from the house. Highly recommend Sleepy Shell!
