The Boat House is in a beautiful location with amazing views and steps away from a safe sandy beach. You can go for a swim no matter how chilly it is and return to the Boat House to warm up in the sauna-what luxury. Go to sleep listening to the sound of the sea and wake up to the incredible scenery. Valentia Lighthouse is in sight and you can walk there through the grounds of Glanleam in about 20mins. If you like walking and hiking Valentia offers great opportunities and on a clear day if you climb Bray Head you can see the Skelligs. If you want to self cater the kitchen is equipped with all you need. We had a great time at the Boat House and plan to return next year.
