Within walking distance of the village which has two pubs, restaurants, post office, coffee shop and church. The Dingle Peninsula has one of the largest Gaeltacht (gaelic-speaking) communities in Ireland. So you'll find many of the locals are bi-lingual – speaking Irish as their mother tongue, a lovely lyrical English to their visitors, and often a mix of the two. They'll tell you “fáilte romhat isteach – you're most welcome here” in both languages – with a warmth and cadence of greeting that's unmistakable and unforgettable. Maybe it's that living culture, deep-rooted and handed-down through generations, that gives this place such a strong creative spirit.
