Welcome to Shore Cottage on the coast of Valentia Island. This former fishermans cottage has been extended with a new annexe and combines Irish cosiness with modern comfort. The living and kitchen areas overlook the sea and the Kerry mainland. From the bedrooms, the islands back country opens up with meadows, pastures and mountains. We have lovingly furnished this cottage as we also spend our holidays here. Therefore, the cottage has a special individual touch and lacks nothing. The famous Valentia slate gives the accomodation a local touch, both inside and outside. The cottage has good central heating and a nice fireplace (bio-ethanol) and is therefore also very suitable for a cosy stay in winter and the cold season and also for workation.
We are an Irish-German couple and have fulfilled a dream in our favourite place with this beautiful cottage, which we would like to share with you.
Relaxing and unwinding is possible here as well as active holidays with hiking, cycling, fishing, sightseeing, boating and swimming. The tranquil village of Knightstown is only a few steps away. Here you can spend time in a café or pub or head off into the island's back country with mountains, cliffs, lighthouse, grotto, beach and unspoilt nature. From Knightstown you can also take a small ferry (from April to September) to the mainland with the famous Ring of Kerry and the impressive Skellig Ring. Alternatively, you can get to the mainland via the bridge at Portmagee. 13 Things to Do on Valentia Island in Kerry There's a surprising amount to do on Valentia Island in Kerry, from historic sites and hiking trails to the best views in Ireland. 1 Geokaun Mountain and Fogher Cliffs 2 The Bray Head Walk 3 Valentia Island Beach 4.
