Hi there! My name is Denise. I am married to Diarmuid and we have 2 young adult children, Róisín and Dara. I run an award-winning bed and breakfast on the magnificent Dingle Peninsula on the West Kerry coast of Ireland. This year our place was named Farmhouse B&B of the Year for Co. Kerry by the EU Business News, We are so excited and proud to accept this award. The other family members are involved in their own projects at this stage and so I need a helping hand to run my business efficiently and to maintain the high standards for which we are renowned:)
Our aim is to offer our guests a truly memorable experience that will stay with them forever:) In order to ensure this, we need helpers who are committed to fulfilling that objective and who are willing to go the extra mile to ensure our guests leave happy and contented. The extra mile could be something as simple as a smile:) We also require our work aways to be willing to be motivated when on duty and to be prepared to get stuck in wherever and whenever the need arises!
We have only four rooms in total available to our guests, all finished to a high standard. We will be delighted to have you share in our daily routine and to have you help us in carrying out our duties.
Our location is also unique in that we are nestled between Mt. Brandon (Ireland's 2nd highest mountain) to the East and the Wild Atlantic Ocean to the West. Not alone that but we live in the heart of the West Kerry Gaeltacht - an Irish-speaking area and so Irish is the first language of our house. That said, we are also fluent in English!!
If you would like the opportunity to help and experience life in a unique and authentic bed and breakfast, please feel free to contact me:)
I look forward to hearing from you:) Denise
