Kate's Cottage

Kate is a wonderful host and the place is beautiful, hence on a windy spot, which isn't that surprising on an island in the Atlantic.

The house is spacey and almost all wishes are covered. Maybe a wifi access point would be the only thing we could have missed. Thanks a lot, Kate!

The property host, Kate, was delightful, as was the cottage.

It provided every thing we could have wished for and the views were wonderful. Thanks again Kate for providing us with a lovely base for a memorable holiday in Ireland.

Lovely cottage well situated but lack of WiFi is a must this day and age where everything is on line, from booking the holiday to banking and much more.

Owner is a lovely helpful welcoming lady, made me feel really welcome

This is a lovely place to stay.

Not far from Chapeltown or Knightstown. At the end of the road there is a little jetty which is great for swimming. The cottage is well kitted out and very comfortable. I hope to visit again at some point.

Another great stay at Kate's cottage .

All you need is supplied and the cottage is spotless . A great welcome & Kate is on hand if there are any issues ( Which there wasn't )

Lovely comfortable cottage - So quiet and peaceful.

Had a lovely week at Kates cottage, lively area of Ireland.

Had a great time despite the weather.

Ein sehr hübsches und gemütliches Ferienhaus das richtig gut ausgestattet ist.

Ein sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt waren die zwei Wochen hier! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt!

Very well equipped cottage, nicely maintained and well presented.

We loved our week in Kate’s cottage.

Kate herself was very welcoming and very responsive when we had a small problem. The cottage is lovely, well equipped and extremely clean. It’s not a modern, minimalist cottage but that suited us, very homely. Beds extremely comfortable and I have to say, best duvet I've had in any cottage I’ve stayed in! Lovely walks from doorstep too.

A fine Irish cottage with all we needed.

Spotlessly clean . Great welcome from Kate who was on hand if required . Would certainly book again .

Our stay was perfect

Lovely Cottage, well kitted out, nice setting.

Very quiet and secure. Will return for sure.

A gorgeous cottage with everything that we needed.

Really lovely house and in a beautiful setting.

Just back from a wonderful 5 days at Kates Cottage on Valentia Island.

It was so comfortable with everything you could want for a wonderful stay. Kate popped in to make sure all was ok, a really lovely lady. I would recommend Kates Cottage to anyone that wants a wonderful Island experience.

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.

Thank you for everything Kate.

Firstly for such a lovely house, but for being such an accommodating, helpful and friendly person. Kate's Cottage is a lovely house with everything you need, it has a lovely garden where our boys could safely play. If the tide is out, you can walk 20 seconds to the end of the road and you're on a rocky beach. Great for skimming stones. For families with young kids, Kate has a silent electric shower in the ensuite, the only sound is water dropping, no electric shower noise. The main bathroom has a full size bathtub. On arrival was a litre of milk, tea bags, coffee and a few biscuits, which was a perfect surprise after a long drive. Valentia Island is stunning, if you like the Cliffs of Moher, they pale in comparison to Geokaun Mountain. Valentia Island Lighthouse is just brilliant. Both of these are within a 10 minute drive from Kate's Cottage. Knightstown is less than 2km from Kate's Cottage, there are summer schools for watersports like kayaking and swimming lessons just in the pier. There is a cafe/pizzeria overlooking the pier called The Watch House. Across the road is The Royal Valentia, it has a really good pub and restaurant. The car ferry to Cahersiveen is very handy, if you don't use it, it will take about 25 minutes to drive. The more tickets you buy for the ferry, the cheaper it works out, the tickets are valid for a few months. Kells Bay Garden is about 20 minutes away (if you take the ferry) Ballinskelligs is about a 20 minute drive. Once again, thanks for everything Kate.

A very welcoming and helpful host and a house in a very scenic spot.

We very much hope to return to the island and the house in the future.

This was our third trip to Ireland as a familiy and actually we had several accomodations, but Kate's Cottage was the best experience so far!

This place is comfortable and the facilities are completely on a high standard. Most important is to mention, that Kate is an awesome host: We had several problems, where we needed support and Kate was incredibly helpful! Also Valentia Island is the perfect spot for family holiday, cause there is so much to do in the closer sorroundings and Knightstown is just lovely. We strongly hope, that we will get the chance to return someday!

Kate's Cottage is a cosy place to relax and get away from it all.

It is in a beautiful quiet location and so handy to tour the local area. I was pleased to find it had great wi-fi and phone signals. For an old cottage it was very comfortable and well kept. The host was friendly and helpful. Would recommend to family and friends.

We had a lovely stay in the cottage, very well equipped, clean and cosy, we met the owner who was very nice and helpful.

Fab spot lovely house v comfortable, great support from host would definitely come back

We had a great week at Kate’s cottage which had everything we needed.

It’s in a wonderful location with an easy walk into Knightstown and lovely views of the mountains and water from the back garden. The bed was comfortable, nights were really quiet, and the kitchen was well equipped. We also enjoyed lighting the open fire every evening. Valentia island is a delightful place and we found plenty to do whilst still keeping socially distanced.

Peace quiet an freedom, Really loved the place and the people.

Will definately go back and hopefully stay at Kates Cottage again.

Kate's Cottage is a great place to spend your holidays.

Nicely located near the beach , shop, pubs, restaurants , beautyfull walks etc. Spotless clean and comfy. Kate is a very friendly lady, who greeted us and kindly had some supplies in for us . This cottage is just what i had in mind when i booked it- nice ,quite and relaxing. Thank's again Kate.

We stayed in Kate's cottage and it was exactly as we expected, house was old but spotlessly clean and had everything we needed.

There's not much on valentia island but it was just what we wanted, a quiet time away. Will definitely recommend and definitely will book again.

A lovely cozy cottage for a quiet and relaxing holiday.

The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. The house is very clean. All rooms are very nicely decorated. A very nice large garden, which you should absolutely enjoy in nice weather, with a very nice view. Many Thanks.
