Location Details

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, Irish pubs and local shops. It is also the departure point for boat and fishing trips. 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 on the northern side of the Island, and the subtropical gardens at Glanleam House.

County Kerry is a mystical and unspoilt part of Ireland, with spectacular natural beauty and a fascinating history. Facing the Atlantic Ocean, it features many sandy beaches, rocky inlets and stunning peninsulas.

Reviews

We stayed here in July with our Golden Retriever in July and we loved it. Cottage is right on the pier of Knightstown, and only 30 meters walk from the hotel and other amenities. The cottage has everything you require, its fantastic, it even has Wifi which I was impressed with for self catering. would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

The cottage was clean, done up well and modern. It had everything we needed to make our stay in Ireland relaxing and enjoyable. The setting was perfect - quiet yet within reach of all the amenities we needed. We are definitely considering returning again.

Watch House is conveniently located in Knightstown and is a good place to stay and explore Valentia Island. The house has everything you need but is a bit smaller than the pictures reflect.
