“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.
