The property is sited on half an acre, on this picturesque Island, and is ideally placed near to the sea. It boasts some of the most spectacular views on the Island and the house has been designed with this in mind.
The nearest (shale) beach is visible and within easy walking distance from the house. Equally the small fishing village of Portmagee with award winning pubs, restaurants and post office can be reached on foot.
This house provides the opportunity to access the rugged Kerry countryside and an excellent base to tour the famous ring of kerry and beyond.The Island itself offers a wealth of activities including angling, diving, and island cruise charters are available at both Portmagee and Knightstown piers, and you can enjoy the freshly caught seafood in the local restaurants. ...The property is sited on half an acre, on this picturesque Island, and is ideally placed near to the sea.

Valentia Island is an undiscovered paradise for many and a well kept secret by those that return year after year to holiday here.More
On arrival there will be an information booklet with things to do and see on Valentia. I will be available to answer any queries quest may have. I am fully contactable throughout your stay. We want all who visit us at Croi na gCnoc to fully enjoy their holiday with us.
Let me start by saying that I clocked up more hours of sleep on this trip than I have in a long time. So if you are considering a career in competitive sleeping, this might be a good place to start.

Getting around
Due to the many sites and points of interest on the Wild Atlantic Way it would be useful to have a car so as to include as much sightseeing as possible into your holidaying experience. It is also lovely to have a cycle around the island. Bikes are available locally for rent. There are also guided bus tours running locally which are most enjoyable and informative. You will information on same in your information pack in the house.
