    The cottage that we stayed in was brilliant, but the time of year the weather was not great. We still enjoyed our stay. I always wanted to stay on Valentia Island. We did feel like we lived like the people did over one hundred years ago. They had it much harder time than what we experienced. So we had a great time and I would come back again some day . I say anyone that comes too Valentia, will have a great time, staying at Cuil Cottage, all the best.

    Not very professional.rude comments which being g in ireland I suppose to understand d.i can take a joke but there is a line that you do not cross when you own a hotel or anything else.no lock on doors.asked for our eggs to be cooked soft.came out almost hard boiled.rang to tell them how disappointed I was and they hanged up on me.not the way to run a business.would have expected that kind of service in a cheap motel

    Not a large island it’s easy to travel around.

    Not a large island it’s easy to travel around. There are some stunning views and superb coves and beaches. It’s easy to access by either bridge or 5 minute ferry crossing. Light pollution from where we were on the north west of the island was virtually nil, so a perfect spot for stargazers. We would love to go back as our day trip and overnight stay was just too short. My only tip would be to buy wine/alcohol at a supermarket before getting into the island as the local shop in Knightstown doesn’t sell alcohol. 👍

    Beautiful area of Kerry.

    Beautiful area of Kerry. Stayed here to see the stars but it was cloudy every night, would be spectacular otherwise. Wonderful swimming spot at Glanleam beach. Within driving distance to amazing beaches and scenery with lots of things to do. Valentina Bee Beds was a fun experience. Highly recommend the Sneem seaweed baths which is a drive from the island. Loved Valentina island

    Valentia is a lovely island but I would rank the royal valentia hotel as a one star hotel. It did not reach the 41/2 star rating it has been given in any way. Breakfast/ dinner is served in the bar area. Very limited menu, lipstick stain on the teacup, rotten pool table area, grotty public toilet area near the bar, dingy reception area, verywhole hotel needs a complete upgrade.

    Get a map of Valentia Island (there is one available in the Skellig experience centre) and go to all the interesting places. The cliffs, the lighthouse, St. Brendan's well, there is quite a lot to explore on the island. The Royal Hotel in Knightstown has good food which can also be enjoyed outside. The island has a very interesting history of the transatlantic telegraph cable. Magnificent views from the top of the mountain with a lot of information on the old Irish stories of Fionn Mac Cumhail.

    Comfy country home with a super friendly welcome. Short walk across the bridge to Portmagee and a great meal at The Moorings. This is a great base if you’re visiting the Skellig Islands. Be sure to allow time to explore Valentia Island, too. Frances gave us a great map with all the highlights (skip St. Brandon’s Well but definitely visit the Fogher Cliffs and the Slate Quarry). Continental breakfast was provided. The views are amazing and there is a lovely outdoor area for guests.

    The property is very modern, spacious and tastefully decorated. The views from the balcony, sitting room and master bedroom across the bay are very special. the apartment is ideally located to the local shop, hotel, and pub. It can be the hub for numerous walks and activities around the island. Enda was the perfect host and was very informative about the local sites and where to go for walks and other activities.

    Absolutely amazing place! The cottage is well equipped, very functional kitchen. The whole place is very welcoming. The sea view guaranteed. Place it's clean and warm. It's a short walk to the village where you can grab a dinner or a drink in the hotel. The communication with the host was very good, they gave us some tips and recommendations. Self check in, very easy instruction.

    This place is incredible. Very well organized, clean kitchen, place to park your car and close to many tourist attractions around. The trailer where we stayed was very cozy and cute, as are the outdoor area and gardens. The staff lady was so nice and very welcomed, she explained us everything and gave us a map showing what to do around. I definitely would recommend this place!

    This high-quality apartment has excellent sea views. Our host was very friendly and went out of her way to supply lots of little extras including fresh farm eggs! The apartment is fitted out to a very high spec and is extremely comfortable. It is close to all amenities including good restaurants and the wonderful Royal Valentia hotel.

    I liked everything. The caravan was so cute and the bed was super comfortable. The facilities were fantastic, the cleanest bathrooms in Ireland, and I have travelled and stayed in a lot of places. Hotels need to scrub up to meet their standards. Host was so lovely and helpful. I can't wait to return.

    The hosts - really nice and friendly. We took the key with us but they agreed to collect from a shop on our way, apologies for that. The position - remote feeling, but 1km from the town and pub/hotel/shops The retrievers - great welcome from them! Great place for peace and quiet

    A stay at Glanleam is a very special experience, it is not like a B&B or a hotel it is like visiting family Everything is relaxed and casual, it is the owners home and you can see touches of that. We loved everything and as per many other reviews the breakfast was great

    Nice Irish breakfast with lots of fruits. This is by far the most scenic location in 20 days of traveling Ireland. The sunsets across the bay, over the lighthouse are fabulous at 10:00 pm! Book two nights as there is so many things to do nearby.
