"Just back from a wonderful 5 days at Kates Cottage on Valentia Island."
It was so comfortable with everything you could want for a wonderful stay.
Kate popped in to make sure all was ok, a really lovely lady.
I would recommend Kates Cottage to anyone that wants a wonderful Island experience.

"The property was well positioned on the island of Valencia being in easy reach of all the islands tourist venues and accessible by ferry (buy 9 crossings) and bridge with entertainment and places of interest close on the mainland as well."
Kate was very friendly and helpful when we met her during the week. All the many facilities were clean and complete, many helpful cooking implements were available. The garden was delightful and restful and we had a wonderful time.

"Thank you for everything Kate."
Firstly for such a lovely house, but for being such an accommodating, helpful and friendly person.
Kate's Cottage is a lovely house with everything you need, it has a lovely garden where our boys could safely play.
If the tide is out, you can walk 20 seconds to the end of the road and you're on a rocky beach. Great for skimming stones.
For families with young kids, Kate has a silent electric shower in the ensuite, the only sound is water dropping, no electric shower noise. The main bathroom has a full size bathtub.
On arrival was a litre of milk, tea bags, coffee and a few biscuits, which was a perfect surprise after a long drive.
Valentia Island is stunning, if you like the Cliffs of Moher, they pale in comparison to Geokaun Mountain. Valentia Island Lighthouse is just brilliant. Both of these are within a 10 minute drive from Kate's Cottage.
Knightstown is less than 2km from Kate's Cottage, there are summer schools for watersports like kayaking and swimming lessons just in the pier. There is a cafe/pizzeria overlooking the pier called The Watch House. Across the road is The Royal Valentia, it has a really good pub and restaurant.
The car ferry to Cahersiveen is very handy, if you don't use it, it will take about 25 minutes to drive. The more tickets you buy for the ferry, the cheaper it works out, the tickets are valid for a few months.
Kells Bay Garden is about 20 minutes away (if you take the ferry)
Ballinskelligs is about a 20 minute drive.
Once again, thanks for everything Kate.

"This was our third trip to Ireland as a familiy and actually we had several accomodations, but Kate's Cottage was the best experience so far!"
This place is comfortable and the facilities are completely on a high standard.
Most important is to mention, that Kate is an awesome host: We had several problems, where we needed support and Kate was incredibly helpful!
Also Valentia Island is the perfect spot for family holiday, cause there is so much to do in the closer sorroundings and Knightstown is just lovely.
We strongly hope, that we will get the chance to return someday!

"Kate's Cottage is a cosy place to relax and get away from it all."
It is in a beautiful quiet location and so handy to tour the local area. I was pleased to find it had great wi-fi and phone signals. For an old cottage it was very comfortable and well kept. The host was friendly and helpful. Would recommend to family and friends.

"We had a great week at Kate’s cottage which had everything we needed."
It’s in a wonderful location with an easy walk into Knightstown and lovely views of the mountains and water from the back garden. The bed was comfortable, nights were really quiet, and the kitchen was well equipped. We also enjoyed lighting the open fire every evening. Valentia island is a delightful place and we found plenty to do whilst still keeping socially distanced.
