Unbelievable views of lovely Dingle Bay and sheep to accompany you along the 30-minute climb! Wear washable shoes as you’ll need to clean them with a hose (provided by gate keeper Mary) after walking in sheep droppings!

Sean is a big biker dude with tattoos and a Harley...and does some of the most amazing artwork I've ever seen! He is also a great guy to boot. I have been to Ireland 4 times and gone here every time to add more pieces to my set. Sean was a master craftsman at Waterford - Waterford crystal is now mass produced, so it is no longer something special. When Sean left Waterford, he set up his own shop in Dingle. He has about 5 patterns (if I remember correctly), my favorite is the Irish harp pattern. I order a couple of glasses when I'm there, then about 6 weeks later they arrive at my door in the states, signed and dated by Sean. We were there last month and he now has his two sons working along side him and his daughter runs the shop. We explained to her that we visited every time we were in Ireland, and referred anyone going to Ireland to visit also. One friend we referred was shopping there on her trip a few years back and was having issues with her credit card - Sean and family helped her contact the card company and get everything sorted out. We were saddened to hear that Sean's wife had passed since our last visit - we have great memories of her coffee shop in the back of the crystal store. My Dingle crystal is a cherished collection, and I look forward to adding more pieces over the years.

My husband and I went on a fantastic private tour with Duriamid from Dingle to the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren then returned to Dingle all in one day. We greatly enjoyed the knowledge he shared with us throughout the whole day and the friendly conversation. We loved having the chance to grab sandwiches along the way and enjoy lunch at the Cliffs of Moher. Hands down best lunch view! We also stopped for delicious coffee and the best ice cream near Doolin. It was truly a remarkable day. We would recommend this tour to all family & friends!

First visited 20+ years ago and make sure I go back frequently. Best leather goods I’ve ever purchased. Beautiful, durable and special. Well priced for the quality of product. When you compare Holden Leathergoods to mass produced designer bags constructed from vinyl-coated canvas and lined in cheap polyester, Holden clearly wins on quality, design, and price. Holden bags are crafted from beautiful leather with emerald green suede lining, gorgeous metal hardware that is functional yet subtle. These are the hallmarks of Holden design. The Holden’s are a pleasure to do business with; the care put into each transaction is refreshing and I have purchased in person and online. Great for special gifts as well. Nice to have something that is such good quality, handmade, and purchased from such good people.

We spent a couple of nights in here, listening to rich, fabulous Irish music with a variety of instruments including banjo, the pipes along with Guitar and violin. Friendly - a traditional Irish pub selling good beer and one that hasn’t sold out to the wave of tourists, but one that shouldn’t be missed.
