The caravan was clean and cosy. The facilities were well maintained. I loved the kitchen area, which had bread and cereals laid on. Was also nice to meet other residents in there for a chat.

The room was very large and modern. Very clean and extremely comfortable bed. I liked the way breakfast was done however there was too much food so I felt it was wasted.

I like the attention to detail, such as the fridge in the common area, water bottle available, and the tea and coffee in our room. It’s a peaceful place, and the view over Valentia Island is beautiful. The jacuzzi is a very nice addition, and the host was lovely.

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.

The property is very modern, spacious and tastefully decorated. The views from the balcony, sitting room and master bedroom across the bay are very special. the apartment is ideally located to the local shop, hotel, and pub. It can be the hub for numerous walks and activities around the island. Enda was the perfect host and was very informative about the local sites and where to go for walks and other activities.
This place is incredible. Very well organized, clean kitchen, place to park your car and close to many tourist attractions around. The trailer where we stayed was very cozy and cute, as are the outdoor area and gardens. The staff lady was so nice and very welcomed, she explained us everything and gave us a map showing what to do around. I definitely would recommend this place!
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.
Attractive home. Room was spotless, spacious, and very comfortable. The host (Eileen) was tremendous friendly, welcoming, and tremendously helpful. Breakfast was excellent!
House is on beautiful Valentia Island, with views of the water. Very close to Portmagee and the Skellig boats.
We will definitely stay here again.
I liked everything. The caravan was so cute and the bed was super comfortable. The facilities were fantastic, the cleanest bathrooms in Ireland, and I have travelled and stayed in a lot of places. Hotels need to scrub up to meet their standards. Host was so lovely and helpful. I can't wait to return.
The Deluxe room with sea view was beautiful, great to just chill drink and look at the view
Breakfast was tasry and for a nice price (prepaid on booking)
Location was the center of Knightstown on the island and there was enough parking, the pub in the hotel was also nice. There is a shop nearby also.
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
Frances is such a wonderful host! She helped us so much and we just had a great time in her house. The house is absolutely gorgeous and perfectly situated close to Portmagee, Valentia Island and the Kerry Cliffs. Everything is in walking distance! Thank you, Frances!!!
Nice Irish breakfast with lots of fruits. This is by far the most scenic location in 20 days of traveling Ireland. The sunsets across the bay, over the lighthouse are fabulous at 10:00 pm! Book two nights as there is so many things to do nearby.
The house had everything we needed for our 3 night stay in Valentia. Home away from home facilities. It was very clean and the owners were very helpful. Had a wedding in the local hotel so the location was ideal as it was a 2 minute drive away.
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.
A beautiful apartment (2bdrm + full kitchen and den) in a great location. Short walk over the bridge to Portmagee pubs and shops. Great base to explore Ring of Kerry. Loved it !!
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.
