About this property
Knightstown 1 mile.
A charming, traditional, detached Irish cottage set in a quiet position just a stone's throw from the water's edge, between the villages of Chapeltown and Knightstown on Valentia Island. Care has been taken to preserve the original character of this single-storey property, whilst providing a comfortable standard of accommodation and convenience. The property benefits from a welcoming open fire and delightful informal gardens to the rear, which afford privacy and seclusion. With excellent walking and cycling from the doorstep and a variety of boat trips departing nearby, Brendan's Cottage provides an ideal base for people who want to explore this beautiful and fascinating corner of County Kerry.
Located on Valentia Island - which lies off the coast of the Iveragh Peninsula in County Kerry â Knightstown is a wonderful spot for a holiday. Easily accessible from the mainland by a ferry that runs from Reenard Point, or via the road bridge at Portmagee, Knightstown provides restaurants and pubs, as well as entertainment and local shops. It also offers a variety of sightseeing boat trips and fishing trips from its picturesque harbour. With around 650 residents, Valentia Island was the site of the first permanent communications link between Europe and the United States, and is famed for its magnificent 'Fogher' sea cliffs and its subtropical gardens at Glanleam House.

The property is a walk from the little village of Knightstown where there is a pub and hotel, stunning views on the right hand side of the house. big long garden. mostly everything that you'd ever need for cooking is there in the house. lovely little base, quiet and peaceful. will be back again.

The host lived opposite so was on hand but unobtrusive so travelling alone I felt very safe. I loved everything about this stay - the garden was a hidden gem and the family of cats up the road so sweet. From my bed I could see the sea and the mountains. Valentia Island is so beautiful and on my last day I found the family farm where my great great grandfather came from - with a view of the Skelligs! I was very sad to leave Valentia Island but I will be back to stay at Brendan's Cottage!
