We really enjoyed our stay at Wolfgang’s place. We loved staying on Valentia island and everything it had to offer. Communication was easy prior to arrival and Wolfgang’s caretaker Mary is very available and helpful with information and assistance during your stay.
The house was well equipped for cooking and an easy space to work in. The fireplace was easy to use and it added a nice ambiance. The views are really great from this location. Watching the ocean was super soothing. During our stay there were some windows that had moisture inside them which made it harder to see the views. We are not sure if this is a seasonal or permanent issue. We also did not realize that half of the house is an Airbnb and the other half is the owner’s space. This made the house seem bigger in pictures, but the space is still decent.
The outside charges for electric, gas, and cleaning were something new for us. We’d prefer to have it built into the price vs. system they are using. It was still a good value overall though.
We loved how close the Brayhead walk was and would highly recommend spending a day there exploring in all directions. The views from the geokaun were also very good. Local pubs that were friendly and fun included Boston’s and the Ring lyne. We’d also highly recommend the gap of dunloe as a drive and exploration day as well as meals at Quinlan and Cooke’s in cahersiveen.
You can’t go wrong on Valentia island. It’s a beautiful spot.
