If you’re visiting the Ring of Kerry, odds are you’re looking for some breathtaking countryside and the feeling that you’ve taken a turn off the beaten path. If that’s you, then do yourself a favor and stay at Cul Cottage. A short drive from the Ring, on Valentia Island, staying at Cul is a little like staying in a cozy cottage at the edge of the world - in the best way. When you step into the rustic living room, you step back in time: a fire heats the room from a small cast-iron stove; old tools and dishware line the walls; and out the back door, your own private view of the Atlantic Ocean. Upstairs, a radiator and heated mattress keep the bedroom oh-so toasty and warm. Seriously, if you’re visiting the Ring of Kerry, you owe it to yourself to stay here.
