Valentia View

Liked everything, wonderful house, location and hosts

Wonderful countryside home with great views. It was perfect for us as we had already done the touristy side of the visit and needed to escape to something like this

The accommodation was absolutely perfect, the location, the spacious room, pleasant hosts, everything was fine. I enjoyed the stay a lot and would come again in the nature future. Lubos

We stayed in the Sea View Family Room, it was large, clean and had a lovely fridge/kettle/tea and coffee station. The bed was super comfy and the hosts were prefect showing us around on arrival.

Nothing, it was all good.

La habitación era divina, amplia, limpia, con unas cama espectaculares, el baño amplio, cómodo y con una ducha de las mejores..

Ninguna queja por supuesto, pero si tendría en cuenta la infraestructura para poder comer o cenar y estar equipado para ello, fuera de la habitación , preparado con microondas, menaje, etc...

Martin was a great host. Loved the animals. Room was spacious and comfortable. Setting of the home was spectacular..

Sehr nette Gastgeber, ein schönes und sehr großes Zimmer mit einem außergewöhnlichen Blick. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Bel emplacement au calme et situé près du pittoresque village de Portmagee. Hôte accueillant et sympathique. La chambre triple est confortable et très bien équipée.

Todo impecable, lindisimo lugar. Habitación y baño muy amplio y cómodos

Nada

Nagyon kellemes élmény volt itt megszállni. A ház remek helyen van, csendes, mégis könnyen megközelíthető. Az apró részletek és figyelmességek igazán hangulatossá és barátságossá tették a szállást, így teljesen otthon éreztük magunkat. Tiszta, kényelmes, és látszik, hogy a vendégek jóléte fontos a házigazdának. Bátran ajánlom mindenkinek, aki nyugodt, szállást keres.

Tolle Lage, nette Gastgeber und die Tiere waren auch zauberhaft

Tutto, la consiglio vivamente. Posto bellissimo, proprietari simpatici.

Nulla.

Location meravigliosa, ampia camera e la simpatia e disponibilità dell'host. Molto comoda la posizione per visitare Valentia's Island

L’entorn

Els matalassos: son de motlles i força tous

Great views and close to Portmagee.

We liked everything, but possible addition of a bbq area would add even more.

Very nice room. Great location. Quiet.

The room was a great size for the 4 of us. Beds comfy, room clean and en-suite excellent. Kettle, fridge and welcoming tea or coffee facilities nice touch.

Nothing

Fantastic accommodation with a great host. Beautiful house and even better surroundings. Big comfortable clean room with everything you need. Enjoyed my time there and wished I could have stayed more time. Will repeat

Nothing really, all worked well

Location, views, room size, facilities in Room.

Nothing.

The property is immaculate, rooms are spacious, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The location is perfect, just a few minutes from Portmagee with ample parking and beautiful views. Leonie and Martin are very welcoming and friendly people, I highly recommend staying with them and * to myself again. I loved the animals at the property. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

We stayed at Valentia View for two nights, choosing this guesthouse based on the excellent reviews. The house itself looks very beautiful, and the location is quiet and peaceful. Our room was clean, spacious, and everything was functional. The atmosphere is calm, which is great for relaxing.

It is important to note that the outdoor area is private and not accessible to guests — there are “Privat” signs everywhere. The entrance for guests is from the back of the house, next to the bins for waste sorting, which is not the most welcoming first impression. The room, although clean, felt quite minimal and lacked personal touches that would make the stay more cozy. We only saw the host at check-in in the evening; after that, we didn’t see anyone. During check-out, there was no one around, and we weren’t sure where to leave the key. Later, the host called us by phone to clarify, but unfortunately, due to roaming, we had additional costs for the call. A bit more personal contact and clearer instructions would make the stay more comfortable.

My daugther loved the animals and how Martin introduced them to her. Good recommendations from Martin too about surroundings. The beds were very confortable.

Nothing relevant

Beautiful house with nice surroundings and animals. Perfect location for exploring Valentia and Skaellig Islands (Only 8 min to Portmagee).

Room was very clean, comfortable, handy, relaxing location for my planned trip, owners very nice people. Great value for money.

We spent 2 nights there. Large, well kept room with large bath. Beds extremely comfortable. Great location for our trip to the Skelligs. Great view of and easy access to Valentia Island. Had good meals in Pormagee and Knightstown.

The host warmly greeted us but didn't fully orient us to the room. There was pot for tea and teas in a small side room which we found after he left. We expected breakfast to be included (from a review we read) but he told us they stopped doing breakfasts because guests were too particular and hard to please. He wasn't clear on places for breakfast in the area. There was a lovely view but no chairs outside from which to sit and enjoy the view. We stayed 2 nights and had no further interaction with the host after our arrival.

Martin & Leonie are super-friendly and caring people. They have good advice for exploring the region. My cozy and spacious room was well equipped, the bed with an excellent mattress. Thank you so much!

The host is very nice.

No

Peace and quiet, lovely host.

This lovely house was the perfect location for our stay. Martin and Leonie were friendly and very helpful with suggestions on places to visit and where to find the best food in the area! We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful hosts. Beautiful location

Excellent hosts and location, room is very spacious, bed is clean, would recommend to friends.

Martin and Leonie are great hosts. Very warm and welcoming. Also the place was awesome to stay and the view is just amazing.

The bed was so comfortable and the family room spacious.The house felt relaxed and homely. The views fantastic and the hosts lovely to chat to. We will be staying again

Friendly welcome from hosts Martin and Leonie. Quiet and off the main road. There are no very local facilities, which didn't bother me but might be a problem for others. You need to travel to Portmagee or Cahirsiveen for shopping, restaurants etc. There is a fridge in the room.

Nothing.

I thoroughly enjoyed my 4 night stay. It was a very peaceful and quiet place, with a beautiful view of Valentia Island. The house is very impressive and sits in a stunning location. The hosts (Martin and Leonie) were exceptionally friendly and thoughtful. I was a solo traveller and they made me feel very welcome. They were very interesting to talk to and were very helpful in recommending nearby places of interest. My room was very big with useful amenities (television, fridge, excellent internet). I highly recommend Valentia View and look forward to returning.

This place was amazing. The location is beautiful. The room was gorgeous. Martin and Leonie were absolutely lovely. Everything about it was top, top class.

Nothing. Even the rain was perfect. This stay was definitely in my top 5 of all time

Room was spacious, warm, clean, and comfortable. The location is extremely peaceful.. Hosts are very nice.

View from the room.

Great view and large rooms. Leonie did a last minutes change of rooms on our request. Perfect view from the rooms. Showers great and good waterpressure

Very nice location. Friendly hosts and good value for money.

No Breakfast

This was a lovely, peaceful place to stay in a gorgeous part of the country!

Loved the view , the animals and the room was very spacious and comfortable. Picture window in our room had spectacular view of Valentia Island.

So quiet, clean and comfortable! I had the most relaxing stay here and would love to go back.

Leonie and Martin are wonderful hosts and have created a warm , cosy and welcoming environment to spend time in an incredible setting.

Easy to find, fair price, friendly hosts, large room, interesting farm animals.

Loved the peaceful location and the beautiful view. Loved the pigs, goats, choosing and birds! Leonie and Martin are wonderful hosts and very warm and welcoming. My room (1) was massive and so was the bathroom. I loved having a bath at the end of a long day seeing the sights. There was even bubble bath! It was handy to also have a fridge. I could have stayed a week as there's a lot to see in the area and some fantastic country drives.

The only thing I didn't like..... leaving:(

Great location

Very Clean and Well Maintained Property. Welcoming Host

Warm quiet clean specious and friendly. Good tea and coffee making facilities. Wonderful big room. The animals were fun!

Possibly could use slightly less air fresheners?

Clean, comfortable & quiet. Amazing part of the country.

Nothing.

Lovely quiet location overlooking Valentia Island and just a short drive from Portmagee. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Plenty of parking on-site. Lovely bright, large room with comfy bed and ensuite bathroom. Decent wifi. Would happily stay again if in the area.

Located just in a very picturesque place just near the forest with sea view. My room was big with fridge, kettle, tea, coffee, milk and sugar provided. The bathroom was very big again (in Ireland I had small room and bathroom before arriving to Valentia View). The hosts - Martin and Leonie - were extremely helpful and very nice people. Upon my arrival Leonie helped with taxi arrangements to take me to Portmagee. Side note - The drivers are very honest and never cheat the tourists. We did have a very great conversation during my last day before the departure. Definitely will stay there again.

Everything was excellent, big and absolutely clean room, nice smell of fresh linen, beautiful view and close to Portmagee from where you can explore the cliffs and islands

The rooms were so confortable and the hospitality amazing!

Clean and comfortable room and en-suite bathroom. Very close to downtown Portmagee - a great launching point to see the Skellig islands. Great value for the price. Friendly hosts.

No complaints.

The hosts, Martin and Leonie, were very hospitable and made us feel very warm and welcome. The location was perfect as it was very close to the boat trip from Portmagee. Though there was no breakfast (which was made very clear at the time of booking) they provided tea and coffee as well as milk in the fridge. They also directed us to where we can get breakfast. The room and bathroom was extremely clean and the surroundings were well maintained. We had a great time and will go back there on our next trip to Kerry.

I loved the accommodating nature of the hosts, the cleanliness and facilities of my room, and the views out across the water!

While I was looking forward to seeing the animals on the property, I wish I could have spoke to the owners more as some of their birds looked a bit ill unfortunately, and would have loved to know what might have been causing it.

Very spacious, comfortable room with view onto the sea and valentia island. Hosts are exceptionally nice and friendly.

Perfect place. Large clean room with a huge bathroom. Perfect for family or group of friends. Nice and very quiet area,beautiful view's

Beautiful position, clean, welcoming owners

I would have liked to have seen a sign or at least not have a "For Sale" sign posted in front of the property. We had driven a long way and at the last it was frustrating not to be able to find the property due to lack of signage. Overall, Leonie and Martin were very friendly and accommodating. I would suggest that soap in the bathroom be provided and that is basically the only suggestion besides appropriate signage.

No bath gel or soap and no signage on the property.

Breakfast was o.k. A little more choice of bread instead just 4 slices of toast. A very big room with comfortable beds and a huge bathroom. Very nice hosts.

The rooms are large, clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was good and Leonie and Martin were really nice and accommodating. We would highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful location with great array of birds and animals.. Leonie & Martin are wonderful hosts. Lovely breakfast and spacious room with hot shower. Could make tea/coffee and TV in room..

Only downside is you really need a car. We were travelling by bus & train.. Leonie dropped us into bus because our taxi never arrived..

Beautiful property, very clean. Friendly hosts. Would highly recommend

Very nice place with a great view and very nice and helpful hosts. Perfect place to stay when you're planning a trip to the Skelligs.

Spacious room, comfortable beds, kettle and fridge for groceries. The best shower pressure and the best bathroom ever in Ireland (we stayed in seven places). The ideal location of the cottage (all tourist destinations in Portmagee and Cahersiveen are wonderfully achievable by car/bike). The owners were very kind and helpful to us. Helped with everything we asked for.

View on Valentia island and the sea. Interesting and warm welcoming owners.

Room very big, tastefully decorated and very clean. Host very friendly.

We had a private bathroom not an ensuite which we would have preferred. We had to exit our room and go into a public corridor to access the bathroom. Not ideal.

Oh my goodness. Leonie and Martin are the perfect hosts! I would have enjoyed staying longer. Cannot recommend their hospitality enough. Lovely property in a beautiful setting. The work they have done there is outstanding. Beautiful sunsets can be enjoyed with a panoramic view over farmlands toward Portmagee. Very highly recommended.

There is nothing to ‘not like’. Everything was perfect.

Great location with wonderful view. got a big room just for me. loved being here in the country side.

Breakfast was fine. Lovely conservatory with views of fields and animals. House excellent location, very private, with fantastic views. Perfect place to explore and enjoy all the Iveragh Peninsula has to offer, boat ride to Skellig Islands, magnificent scenery, visit to Valencia Island and to gorgeous Kerry Cliffs.

Beautiful location, owners wonderful, room was great, breakfast was great

We liked everything about the property

Absolutely enjoyed the peace & quiet. A great place to stay and rest your head after a long day of sightseeing/ driving. The farm animals make it a great place for families and/or animal lovers.

Nothing, great friendly service
