  • Peter

    “The property was well positioned on the island of Valencia being in easy reach of all the islands tourist venues and accessible by ferry (buy 9 crossings) and bridge with entertainment and places of interest close on the mainland as well.”

    Kate was very friendly and helpful when we met her during the week. All the many facilities were clean and complete, many helpful cooking implements were available. The garden was delightful and restful and we had a wonderful time.

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.

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.
