 
The Great Blasket Island, the most westerly point in Europe, is the largest of a group of islands located 3 miles off the tip of the Dingle Peninsula Gaeltacht, 13 kilometers west of Dingle town.
In the past few years a number of the houses have been restored and amenities provided for visitors to the island. |
 
Simple accommodation in 5 restored houses at the top of the village.
Availability depends on dates: we find that Saturday nights are busy and need to be booked well in advance, also for July and August it is safer to book well in advance.
