We had an amazing time! We sat on the deck at Skellig Rest and drank in the view out to the Skelligs every day. It is good for the heart! Even though there is lots to explore - Waterville (Charlie Chaplin Film Fest), Valencia Island, Daniel O'Connell's house in Derrynane - we found it hard to pull ourselves away from the view. When it got chilly at night we retired into the house. A very comfy sitting room - perfect to host a few friends. A good kitchen, and - believe it or not - an electric sauna and shower room. Taken altogether, one couldn't find a more accommodating house. We took breakfast every morning in the "porch" with big windows giving us the same view. We took loads of photos using the tripod Mairead has for guests, topped with a telescope for closer viewing. It turns out Skellig Rest is in the Dark Sky zone - and get's the clearest nighttime views of the sky in Northern Europe. So many stars it can be shocking! Mairead greeted us and set us up perfectly. We shall return! Who wouldn't? Amazingly, all the photos on this listing are true! That deck also sports a hot tub! We look forward to our next visit. Many thanks <airead for a great break away in your fantastic house.
