Few places could match the setting of this cottage. Valentia island itself is a unique experience - the short ferry trip from Caherciveen feels like a link to another world (there's also a bridge to the mainland but don't miss out on the 10 minute trip on water). The house is huge, with lots of living space. We were a group of nine and it never felt cramped. The kitchen is well equipped with all cooking essentials, there are several bathrooms with showers and plenty comfortable couches to sit around the open fire. The subtropical gardens around the house with their winding pathways along the shore are tranquil and you could easily spend hours exploring. Wander some of the lanes near the cottage and you will likely stumble upon spine tingling scenes of natural beauty! Around the grounds of the house you'll probably meet the friendly cat, chickens, geese and lambs! It's a great base for exploring the ring of Kerry and the skelligs but the house and grounds are destination themselves.
Thanks again for the warm welcome!
