"Wood Quay in Dingle is a brilliant…"

Wood Quay in Dingle is a brilliant place in a magical part of the world. Top location and views, easy walk to town, and with parking as well, this is a top of the range option when exploring Dingle. Highly recommend.

"Belle Epoque Apartment in Nice, France"

We had a great experience with StayYNA and the apartment. Our manager was so easy to work with and very responsive to all of our questions and needs. The apartment is spacious for a family of 3 and had much needed and strong air conditioner as Nice was quite warm in June! The location of the apartment is amazing - a block off the Promenade de Anglais and beach, a fitness center right across the street, and a bakery and grocery store just down the next block. It is very close to shops and restaurants yet the apartment is on a quiet street and having air conditioning means you don't have to open the windows at night so very peaceful for sleeping.

"We had a very pleasant stay."

We had a very pleasant stay in Violet’s appartment. The location is very nice and is in walking distanse of the city center. It’s only a short walk (5 min) to the beach and just outside the tramstop Alsace-Lorraine which goes directly to the airport (about 25 min.). The appartment is nice and spacy and well equipped.

"Bliss on Lake Caragh"

The Salmon Cottage was the highlight of our Ireland vacation. Lauren and her team were responsive, professional and very warm. A welcome gift of fresh bread and jam among other things made a great first impression - not mention butter, cream for our coffee !

The house and property are extremely well maintained and with top notch amenities and extras making our stay feel like home. The "cottage" is very spacious and there was ample room for our family.

Glenbeigh Shellfish was a great tip provided by our host keeping us in fresh oysters and muscles during our stay - a sweet Mom and Pop outfit and our visit there was icing on the cake - lots of "samples" shucked generously for us.

Best of all was the embrace of amazing Lake Caragh. This property wants for nothing and should be on your list - just don't tell anyone !

"Sands Cottage in Castlegregory - Great Location, Perfect Accommodation"

Sands Cottage in Castlegregory was absolutely beautiful, checkin and cleanliness was great. Location to everything in this area was also great. Great places to eat, food at Blasini at Thomasins and Milesian was amazing. Great beaches, Inch, Castlegregory, Brandon Bay, Maharees, and Banna Strand were amazing. Surf with Jamie Knox was really easy to book and enjoyable. Dingle Town also a great visit and stunning scenery. We’ll definitely be back. Checkin with Oonagh was great and she was really helpful. Thankyou. Aileen Byrne

"Wonderful apartment to stay in for our…"

Wonderful apartment to stay in for our visit to Nice.
Comfortable clean and airy with great views of the sea and beach. Also easy access to airport and town centre on the tram. We were greeted by the host on our arrival and she was very helpful, explaining facilities and how to reach the town and the station. I hope we can stay there again on our next visit to Nice.

"Be prepared to lose your deposit over nothing! Avoid."

We stayed with stay yna at brandon house in dingle in july 2022 for a week. We paid premium prices for a 5 star experience as advertised. The house itself is as per the pictures and a credit to the owners but stay yna as property managers are unprofessional, rude and money hungry in my opinion. If you are the owner reading this i recommend you change mgt immediately. The property is very rural, roads are poor and you need to travel through a farm yard with farm machinery to get there. Not ideal for kids but mucher bigger issues emerged. What ruined it for us was stay yna taking out the full €500 deposit from us days later due to 1. We had more than 2 bins full of rubbish disposal (6 adults plus 2 kids for a week did indeed create more than 2 bins of rubbish, we left the extra bags beside the main bins very neatly), 2. We used up toiletries (confirmed as included in the price as per t and cs) and disposed of the empty content bottles, 3. There were stains on towels and linen (they sent pictures, barely visible stains). Total charge €114 (of which points 1 and 2 were c. 50%) with full €500 taken from our account with rest to be refunded in time. For context, we were a family of 6 adults and 2 small children paying for quality accommodation at premium prices for peace and quiet. Paid over €2k for a week. We were extremely careful and diligent. The place was left in great condition. You are given one towel per adult and no washing powder. We bought our own and washed the few towels they gave us. You are given two bins liners only for a week. We cleaned everything before we left, turned on the dishwasher and even put the towels onto a wash (with powder we bought). We attempted to talk to stay yna to dispute these allegations of "damage" who refused to talk to us over the phone, will only reply by email from the uk and the local welcome manager washes their hands of it all. We have stayed in 5 star accommodation all over ireland and have never been treated like this before. Its not the money, its the shocking attitude. Stay away from stay yna and before you think about booking anywhere with them read every word (and tone) of their terms and conditions as they will charge you extras and then refer back to loosely worded ts and cs. Certainly not a 5 star experience.

"I have just spent the most wonderful…"

I have just spent the most wonderful week (March/April) in Maison Dior in Nice. The apartment was brilliantly equipped, extremely comfortable and everything was absolutely 5*. I could not have wished for more. In addition, the location was perfect for public transport - bus and tram - and an easy walk to the main parks, shopping centre, the old town and the coast. Having spent time in France for more than 60 years, this was my first visit to Nice and I loved it. Everyone we met was kind and friendly and we found super coffee shops, bakeries, small supermarket and restaurants locally. All in all an amazing week and Maison Dior was the perfect place to stay and from which to enjoy it. Thank you!

"I do not recommend this company as our…"

I do not recommend this company as our experience has been very poor but with a better outcome than others. We booked for Dingle in Oct 20 for Christmas 20, and paid €1800 in full. Prior to booking I called the company and they advised of there was any Covid issues, that we would be able to cancel and get a full refund. We live in Northern Ireland, as as December passed, the Irish Government introduced more and more restrictions. Two days before we were due to leave the government introduced a ‘no travel’ outside your county ban. So we could not go. When I rang to explain, and to ask what to do the immediate response was ‘not our problem’. After taking the time to explain, I was told that in no circumstances could they refund, but would move us to another week. We settled on Easter, but again the Irish restrictions meant that we could not travel. We then moved to May, and then finally back to Christmas 2021. However when we looked at plans for Christmas our original party could not make it, we again asked for a refund, and the answer was no. All correspondence and calls where difficult, and no attempt was made to reconcile the contract.

After much frustration I got my husband to ring and he persuaded them to put the Christmas week back up for sale, and if it sold then we could get our money back, or we would use it. So the company agreed, and it sold, but no one contacted me to tell me. I had to check the website, and reach out to them. The money was not repaid to me until last week, after the new quests checked out. I lost the 25% deposit, but feel lucky as others got nothing. Had we not insisted, and restated our rights, we would have had no refund.
All in all a bad experience, and I would not recommend this company.

"I absolutely loved everything about the…"

I absolutely loved everything about the experience of staying at this beautiful, perfectly located and appointed property in Nice. Elena and Jenny were both amazing; I was met at the property right on time and the explanation of all the features of the property was done completely and thoroughly. This was one of those rare times that the actual property was better than the representation on-line (and the on-line photos were absolutely gorgeous!). I would highly recommend STA YNA and this particular property to anyone.
