Location perfect, host charming

The location was perfect, a short walking distance from the ferry and near the grocery shop and Royal Valentia Hotel. Great to have a kitchen with a garden view!
location
Uncomfortable bed, chairs. Furniture seems to come from a charity shop. Some towels threadbear.
Perfect location. Property had everything we needed for our few days.
Nothing stands out

Fabulous stay at Geraldine house, Anthony the host was so welcoming, he even had some groceries in the fridge for our arrival which was greatly appreciated. Ideally situated as we were there for a wedding so it was walking distance to church and venue. The accommodation had everything we needed a modern kitchen, living room and bathroom.
No complaints

L'appartamento non è male, bagno ristrutturato, cucina accessoriata, tranquillità.
Il principale disagio è stato lo sporco. Cucina sporca ovunque, alimenti scaduti nei pensili. Bagno pulito sommariamente. Il pavimento lasciamo stare. Poltrone datate e odore di chiuso. Se fosse stato pulito a dovere, sarebbe stato un ottimo soggiorno.
Tolle Lage auf Valentia Island. Sehr netter Gastgeber. Excelllent ausgestattetes Apartment inkl. Küche und Waschmaschine. Pub 100m entfernt
Un accueil bienveillant et attentionné de Anthony
It was a great location
Anthony was a very accommodating and lovely host. We really enjoyed staying at his place. It is very well equipped and located close to the harbor with a restaurant and pub close by. We can really recommend staying at his place for a little island getaway.
Very Homely and in a beautiful part of Ireland, Anthony is brilliant thanks so much
There’s nothing not to like
Anthony was a great host also had food in the fridge for breakfast when we arrived can't get better than that. We will be back again no problem.
Nothing.
My brother stayed here with his partner and was very satisfied. Right in the center of knightstown. Anthony was very helpful- it even was not a problem to have 2 people stay instead of one
The accommodation had a washing machine and a recently renovated bathroom . The towels and sheets were clean.
The apartment was not clean, the kitchen cupboards had a musty, wet smell when opened. The plates were chipped and old as were most of the other kitchen equipment. The bed is a sofa bed and was not comfortable. The pillows were old, thin and stained. The host lives on site with his family, and we heard thumping music coming from that side until the early hours, which did not help us get a good night's sleep. We left the apartment one day early and went elsewhere.
Courtesy eggs bread butter milk and tea/coffee provided. Really helped as no shops on the island.
Self contained apartment. Some basics left to make breakfast. There were way more things than I needed eg washing machine, air fryer etc. Location is fabulous. Anthony was friendly, helpful and on hand if needed.
Nothing I can think of.
Cosy clean and extremely good facilities.
Perfect location to visit nearby family
Excellent location and excellent host!
That I couldn’t stay longer.
Excellent location and spotless..Anthony had left breakfast items for me which was very thoughtful.
Everything was good
The host was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The welcome pack was very much appriciated. Overall a lovely location and stay.
The property is in a brilliant location near the hotel on the ferry side of the island! We were here for a wedding so it was ideal. 1 min walk to hotel/pier/shop etc. Apartment has living room/bedroom, bathroom and kitchen! Anthony left us some breakfast bits also which was ideal!
Nothing

Close to the hotel.Ideal location for touring the island .Ferry very close by aswell.
It was quiet cold .Heater in front room was not sufficient. Tv didn't work properly.
Beautiful apartment with, very clean, kitchen had everything you need and Anthony even had a fry up surprise waiting to be cooked in the fridge. The location is excellent and Anthony is a gentleman. We will be back
Really enjoyed our stay at Geraldine House.Host couldn’t have been nicer and gave us great recommendations regarding eating out and local walks.Plenty of breakfast goods in fridge for our 2 day stay.Located on a quiet street close to Hotel and local shop.
Clean quiet and excellent location.
Geraldine House was exceptional it has everything needed for a weekend stay and longer the facilities where clean and fresh we couldn't have asked for more
We loved everything 💜
Geraldine House was perfectly located. Anthony was extremely accomodating and helpful. Provided breakfast goods which was a bonus and I wasn't expecting.
Anthony is a marvellous, engaging host and the apartment is well positioned close to places to eat and shop and so close to the cliffs of Kerry and also the boat trips and Waterville and its golf course. Wonderful to access a washing machine and a fridge packed with breakfast goodies. Great parking outside
Perhaps replace the old style folding bed with a proper bed which would be more comfortable. Guests can sit in the armchairs as required. The shower noise is a little scary too! Maybe some new towels are due too.
We had such a lovely time staying in Geraldine house. It was the perfect spot for the weekend. The host Anthony could not have been more accommodating and helpful. We would highly recommend.
The host was very welcoming and friendly. The house was in a great location only a stones throw from hotel, shop, ferry and a short drive to local attractions. We had most of what we needed in this house for a self catering option.
The place was absolutely perfect, perfect location, very comfortable bed, you have all the amenities you need for a very comfortable stay. Anthony was a lovely host. He even invited us to his own place for a drink. Anthoby was really attentive, great host.
Nothing, everything was 10/10
Very centrally located apartment, 1mim walk from Royal Valentia Hotel and pier. Anthony was welcoming on arrival and accommodating with check-in and check out times. The apartment was equipped with an induction hob and facilities to eat. The pullout sofa bed was very comfortable. All in all, we had a great weekend here!
