Retro Caravans at Valentia Island Escape, hotel in Valentia Island

Retro Caravans at Valentia Island Escape offers accommodations in Valentia Island, 1.8 miles from Skellig Experience Centre and 12 miles from O'Connell Memorial Church.

This place really surprised me how nice it was. It is a glamping site so I wasn't expecting the Ritz or anything. But once we got there we really liked the room/caravan. It was cozy and spacious. There was a common area kitchen with everything you would need, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The location surprised me the most. I had no idea about Valentia Island, we were there to go to Skellig Michael, but Valentia Island was amazing with lots of outdoor places to visit. Great place to hike, walk the coast, take photos, etc... Retro Caravan was also a bargen$$

Quinlan & Cooke Boutique Townhouse and QCs Seafood Restaurant, hotel in Valentia Island

Quinlan & Cooke Boutique Townhouse, formerly QC's, is family-run and located in Cahersiveen on The Wild Atlantic Way.

How to start - having spent 15 years in the hotel business, we have stayed in hotels from five to no stars. Quinlan and Cooke stands out above everything I've ever spend time in. A boutique hotel, run by a delightful Irish woman who know how to take care of customers without fuss or muss. Every room is outfitted exactly as you would outfit your own home/bathroom. Excellent amenities, great breakfast delivered directly to your room every morning, fresh fruit, croissants, juice, everything you could desire right at your fingertips. Hotel personnel go out of their way to insure a quiet and comfortable stay. Can't do better than Quinlan and Cooke. And the attached restaurant is outstanding - great menu - best fish and chips in Ireland with an absolutely best trained staff. If you are looking for an outstanding visit to a small town on the Ring Of Kerry, this is it. Kate and her crew are some of the best I've ever seen in all our travels throughout the world. This isn't a corporate hotel experience - this is genuine local boutique hotel run by a professional with exquiste taste and attention to detail. I wish her continued success. One of the best! One more thing, this is not for those who want to be pampered and looked after, this is a hotel for people who travel on their own, know how to take care of themselves, who don't need constant pampering. This is a hotel that takes special care to make sure your every need is already in place when you arrive and that the traveller is capable of embracing the caring touches put in place by the owner without the need for a butler or special staff. If you are a needy traveller, this is not for you. However, whatever your need, it will be met by Kate's outstanding staff. Enjoy and embrace this special place. You'll remember it fondly.

Seagull Cottage B&B, hotel in Valentia Island

Providing a garden, Seagull Cottage B&B offers accommodations in Portmagee.

This property is set up with a traveller in mind! My room was on the ground floor, and had handicapped accessible features. I loved all the surfaces in the bathroom to put my get ready stuff on. The closet was open, and I thought that made it easier for me set my things out, and not forget them.

    The cottage that we stayed in was brilliant, but the time of year the weather was not great. We still enjoyed our stay. I always wanted to stay on Valentia Island. We did feel like we lived like the people did over one hundred years ago. They had it much harder time than what we experienced. So we had a great time and I would come back again some day . I say anyone that comes too Valentia, will have a great time, staying at Cuil Cottage, all the best.

    Not a large island it’s easy to travel around.

    Not a large island it’s easy to travel around. There are some stunning views and superb coves and beaches. It’s easy to access by either bridge or 5 minute ferry crossing. Light pollution from where we were on the north west of the island was virtually nil, so a perfect spot for stargazers. We would love to go back as our day trip and overnight stay was just too short. My only tip would be to buy wine/alcohol at a supermarket before getting into the island as the local shop in Knightstown doesn’t sell alcohol. 👍

    Beautiful area of Kerry.

    Beautiful area of Kerry. Stayed here to see the stars but it was cloudy every night, would be spectacular otherwise. Wonderful swimming spot at Glanleam beach. Within driving distance to amazing beaches and scenery with lots of things to do. Valentina Bee Beds was a fun experience. Highly recommend the Sneem seaweed baths which is a drive from the island. Loved Valentina island

    Valentia is a lovely island but I would rank the royal valentia hotel as a one star hotel. It did not reach the 41/2 star rating it has been given in any way. Breakfast/ dinner is served in the bar area. Very limited menu, lipstick stain on the teacup, rotten pool table area, grotty public toilet area near the bar, dingy reception area, verywhole hotel needs a complete upgrade.

    Get a map of Valentia Island (there is one available in the Skellig experience centre) and go to all the interesting places. The cliffs, the lighthouse, St. Brendan's well, there is quite a lot to explore on the island. The Royal Hotel in Knightstown has good food which can also be enjoyed outside. The island has a very interesting history of the transatlantic telegraph cable. Magnificent views from the top of the mountain with a lot of information on the old Irish stories of Fionn Mac Cumhail.

    Wonderful location and wonderful view of Portmagee and the Atlantic Ocean! This place couldn't be better situated for exploring the Kerry cliffs, Skellig Michael, and Valentia island itself. Great bed and breakfast, a nice room, and a great host. Host was very accommodating about my check-in time, and made it as easy as possible to check in when I got there. The host was very helpful in helping me find the best way to get back into Killarney.

    The property is very modern, spacious and tastefully decorated. The views from the balcony, sitting room and master bedroom across the bay are very special. the apartment is ideally located to the local shop, hotel, and pub. It can be the hub for numerous walks and activities around the island. Enda was the perfect host and was very informative about the local sites and where to go for walks and other activities.

    John and his dog Snow are two wonderful hosts, always ready to have a chat with some coffee or tea and always suggesting amazing places to visit! We enjoyed our stay very much, the calmness of Valentia island and its views are perfect for some relax and also it’s very close to the most beautiful spots on the Ring of Kerry, like Kerry cliffs. We thank you a lot and would totally recommend Harbor View to anybody!

    Absolutely amazing place! The cottage is well equipped, very functional kitchen. The whole place is very welcoming. The sea view guaranteed. Place it's clean and warm. It's a short walk to the village where you can grab a dinner or a drink in the hotel. The communication with the host was very good, they gave us some tips and recommendations. Self check in, very easy instruction.

    This place is incredible. Very well organized, clean kitchen, place to park your car and close to many tourist attractions around. The trailer where we stayed was very cozy and cute, as are the outdoor area and gardens. The staff lady was so nice and very welcomed, she explained us everything and gave us a map showing what to do around. I definitely would recommend this place!

    Very friendly mother and daughter owners. Very accommodating to us, we are a family of 6 with 4 teenagers. Went from a self-catering stay to their b&b and they even let us use their fridge to store perishables in it. Went out of their way to ensure we were looked after, good knowledge about the area and things to do in Valentia Island. I couldn’t fault them.

    I liked everything. The caravan was so cute and the bed was super comfortable. The facilities were fantastic, the cleanest bathrooms in Ireland, and I have travelled and stayed in a lot of places. Hotels need to scrub up to meet their standards. Host was so lovely and helpful. I can't wait to return.

    A stay at Glanleam is a very special experience, it is not like a B&B or a hotel it is like visiting family Everything is relaxed and casual, it is the owners home and you can see touches of that. We loved everything and as per many other reviews the breakfast was great

    The house had everything we needed for our 3 night stay in Valentia. Home away from home facilities. It was very clean and the owners were very helpful. Had a wedding in the local hotel so the location was ideal as it was a 2 minute drive away.
