Cois Farraige Strand Street Dingle Tel: +353 (0)66 915 0994 "Cois Farraige" translates to English as "beside the sea". We had the whole gift shop painted with a seashore scene to compliment the name. Directly across the street from us here in Dingle there are no buildings, just fishing boats and trawlers. Since opening in 1999 we have been successfully shipping gifts around the world. Apart from internet sales we deal with a lot of orders from people who bought a gift and perhaps want a matching piece or piece for friends/relatives. It is also convenient for visitors at the shop to have us arrange to ship items which may be too delicate or too bulky to carry with them on the rest of their holiday. e-mail: enquiry@coisfarrige.com Website: www.coisfarraige.com |
