Tom and Catherine's house is a true gem in the West of Ireland. We had a group of seven adults and the house easily had enough space for us. With four spacious bedrooms and plenty of other space in the house we never once felt cramped. The kitchen and living room area, in particular, are wonderful with comfortable couches and an amazing hob to cook on. Even when it's raining outside you feel cosy curled up in front of the stove. The house is ideally situated just around the corner from the ferry, and everything in the town is a short walk from the front door.
Knightstown is a charming town. It has a real put-together feel about it, with everything we needed a stroll away. We were a minute walk from the coffee shop and just up from the local shop and pub. Valentia Island itself is rich with beautiful walks and views. It feels just separate enough from the mainland to allow you to really switch off and relax, while also being a convenient distance from Cahirciveen and its Supervalu! If you're in Cahirciveen I recommend The Oratory for wine and pizza - it exceeded our expectations with lovely, thin-base pizzas.
The local host, Margaret, was excellent. She provided quick and clear communication and really helped to streamline our visit.
I highly recommend this Airbnb to any would-be visitors.
