    “The cottage was perfect for the two of us.”

    Peter, the owner was very welcoming and even provided us with everything for afternoon tea with cakes! The “icing on the cake” for us was the beautiful garden. It was so tranquil and relaxing, with a wonderful view. I could have stayed forever, I loved it so much! We look forward to going back again soon.

About the location

KNIGHTSTOWN, COUNTY KERRY

Cahersiveen 15 miles; Kerry Airport 53 miles.

Knightstown is the main village on Valentia Island, which lies off the coast of the Iveragh Peninsula in County Kerry. It is accessible from the mainland by ferry from Reenard Point, or via the road bridge at Portmagee. Knightstown provides restaurants and Irish pubs as well as entertainment and local shops. It is also the departure point for a variety of sightseeing boat trips and fishing trips. Take a trip to the magnificent Skellig Islands, the site of a 6th century monastic settlement, and home to a large colony of gannets and puffins. With around 650 residents Valentia Island stands out as one of the westernmost inhabited locations in Europe, and was the site of the first permanent communications link between Europe and the United States. The Island is famed for its magnificent 'Fogher' sea cliffs, which rise majestically from the Atlantic Ocean on the northern side of the Island, and the subtropical gardens at Glanleam House, which are a unique delight for visitors of all ages.

Note: No children under 5, including infants.
Note: the open fire will be removed from 1/1/23 and will be all oil central heating and the electric heater.
