This place really surprised me how nice it was. It is a glamping site so I wasn't expecting the Ritz or anything. But once we got there we really liked the room/caravan. It was cozy and spacious. There was a common area kitchen with everything you would need, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The location surprised me the most. I had no idea about Valentia Island, we were there to go to Skellig Michael, but Valentia Island was amazing with lots of outdoor places to visit. Great place to hike, walk the coast, take photos, etc...

Michael who checked me in was very helpful booking me a taxi, printing up some information for me and getting papers to dry my shoes. He was an excellent person to get me checked in.

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.

Eileen is a lovely woman who runs a beautiful home that could not have been nicer to stay in. She was happy to offer us a ride to and from Portmagee for dinner, had a deck of cards when we adked for one, and provided three terrific breakfasts. The location was phenomenal, and she had a variety of options for things to do nearby that we otherwise would not have found. We've booked stays from Bulgaria to Edinburgh and this was the most pleasant we've had!
Wonderful location and wonderful view of Portmagee and the Atlantic Ocean! This place couldn't be better situated for exploring the Kerry cliffs, Skellig Michael, and Valentia island itself. Great bed and breakfast, a nice room, and a great host. Host was very accommodating about my check-in time, and made it as easy as possible to check in when I got there. The host was very helpful in helping me find the best way to get back into Killarney.
The location is to die for - absolutely beautiful, and isolated from the crowds. The B&B itself is bright, clean, has a veranda directly overlooking the bay, and is tastefully decorated with everything from funky (in a good way), cool fine art, Old maps, historic photos and old maps. The owner was very friendly and helpful, serving tea on the veranda (!) and making a reservation for us at the local restaurant. First class service!
Stunning setting to escape from it all, no TV, no WiFi. This is a place to come switch off and gives a taste of old Ireland life.
Comfy stay for 2, the stove was prepped on arrival.
As it's a few kilometres from Knightstown and many food amenities were unavailable due to Covid, it's great to have a full kitchen to cook what you need.
Would definitely return.
Stunning location, peaceful and quiet.
The house is very nice and clean. The kitchen is well equipped and the rooms are spacious.
There is a shower and a nice bath.
The house is pet friendly too.
The communication with the host has been perfect.
Highly recommend it for couples who wants some time to rest and refuel. We will definitely come back.
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.
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
Amazing breakfast and such a friendly family - normally prefer hotels to B&Bs but we will be back to this B&B for sure. Just the right level of friendliness, helpfulness and warmth. Couldn't recommend this B&B highly enough!
Reenglas House, was the perfect, serene B&B, for our 2 day trip to discover Valentia Island and Ring of Kerry. Kieran insured we had a comfortable stay, sea view and sumptuous bedroom with en-suite.
Fabulous location, beautiful island with loads to see. Local hotel excellent for food. Old world house , very cosy and clean and home very well equipped, host Mary was lovely and very helpful.
The farmhouse was lovely and peaceful. A welcome respite from hotels. Had everything we needed and was cozy, comfortable and charming. Our host was wonderful and very accommodating.
Great location right on the harbour. You could easily sit in the garden all day taking in the view. Staff were lovely and the hotel was spotlessly clean. Food was also very good
Lovely location on the water, just a short walk from Knightstown and an easy drive to spectacular views of the peninsula and the Skelligs. A perfect place for a quiet retreat.
Glanleam House is a destination in itself. A must for anyone interested in exotic gardens and classic historical architecture. It has its own protected beach with calm water.
