Be a part of the rich history of Smerwick home near a secluded Dingle beach

Trish Dromey uncovers a retirement home with a colourful and continental past overlooking Smerwick Harbour.  

Built to provide a sheltered vantage point from which to watch the waves break on the rocky shores of the Dingle peninsula, this house involves the story of a First World War army chaplain and one of a German tropical timber merchant.

In the 1920s, Canon Conor McClean, an Anglican chaplain who had served in the British Army during the war, arrived in Dingle in search of place to spend his retirement.
