    “We booked a 4 bed property but we’re only able to use 3 as there was rather bad black mold in one bedroom.”

    The bath was rusty and bath mats also covered in mold. Rug in lounge was filthy. Old packets of food in cupboards dated 2019 and 2020, and an old bottle of ketchup with mold on it, also used toothbrushes left in food cupboard. I contacted the owner immediately regarding the mold and was told it was an old property and they sent the cleaner back who naturally could only wipe the wall, not solve the issue. I contacted Sykes who were helpful to start but I have had no further contact from them ...

I contacted Sykes who were helpful to start but I have had no further contact from them despite messaging again. I was also contacted by the owner during our stay who requested I put the bins out as they are only collected every two weeks, so I have paid for a 4 bed and only 3 were useable, bath was unusable, and also had the privilege of putting the previous occupants rubbish out. Photos of all issues were provided to Sykes. Very disappointed by the standard of the property, a beautiful building which sadly has not been maintained. It being an old property is no excuse for the poor standard of cleanliness. Also disappointed with lack of contact from Sykes following initial contact. Would not recommend this property. On the plus side the location was perfect and Valentia island is well worth visiting.

The property

Resting in the quaint, coastal town of Knight's Town, in the tranquil county of Kerry, lies this charming, three-storey cottage, 12 Cable Station Terrace.

With a tasteful, art gallery style interior complete with antique embellishments, spacious living areas, and exquisite, panoramic sea views, this delightful property is ideal for families or a group of friends sharing, seeking a peaceful, self-catered stay in an idyllic, Irish setting.

Make yourself at home in your new lodgings by cooking up and savouring a delicious feast in the well-equipped kitchen/diner, before settling down in the inviting sitting room, where you and your loved ones can enjoy a film on the wall-mounted TV whilst you're kept nice and toasty from the crackling embers of a solid-fuel stove.

When sleep calls, indulge in a long, hot bath before retreating to one of four plush bedrooms, including two family rooms that await to deliver you a night of well-earned slumber.

After sipping your morning coffee on the picnic bench out front as you take in your beautiful, seascape surroundings, head into Knight's Town on foot where you can stock up on essentials at Donal & Rosie Walsh´s Foodstore, brush up on local history at the Valentia Heritage Museum, before settling down for a pub lunch at Boston's Bar.

If seafood is what you're craving, a short car ferry journey across to Reenard will bring you to O'Neills The Point Seafood Bar, an unmissable destination for nautical cuisine.

Heading south, be sure to stop off at The Skellig Experience Visitor Centre on your way into Portmagee, which is home to the Portmagee Whiskey distillery, a must-visit location for enthusiasts.

Keep travelling down the west coast to enjoy the spots of the sublime Kerry Cliffs, the Wild Atlantic Way Discovery Point, and Bá Fhíonáin, before pulling up a chair at the Driftwood Surf Cafe in St Finian's Bay to give yourself a break from cooking one evening.

Whatever you choose to do during your stay, be sure to do it from 12 Cable Station Terrace.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of €450.

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.
