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.

The property was modern, clean, and cozy. We were very comfortable there! We got a flat tire and had to arrive late and the owner Kate was so kind and accommodating to us when we arrived, even made sure we got dinner even though the restaurant was closed. She was even checking on us to make sure we were okay through the whole event. She is such a lovely person!

    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 very professional.rude comments which being g in ireland I suppose to understand d.i can take a joke but there is a line that you do not cross when you own a hotel or anything else.no lock on doors.asked for our eggs to be cooked soft.came out almost hard boiled.rang to tell them how disappointed I was and they hanged up on me.not the way to run a business.would have expected that kind of service in a cheap motel

    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.

    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.

    Comfy country home with a super friendly welcome. Short walk across the bridge to Portmagee and a great meal at The Moorings. This is a great base if you’re visiting the Skellig Islands. Be sure to allow time to explore Valentia Island, too. Frances gave us a great map with all the highlights (skip St. Brandon’s Well but definitely visit the Fogher Cliffs and the Slate Quarry). Continental breakfast was provided. The views are amazing and there is a lovely outdoor area for guests.

    This place is a magical trip back in time! I have stayed here a few times and attended a wedding here and it never fails to please. The hotel is beautiful, the island and views are like something from a story book. The thing that makes this place so special is the staff, the nicest people you could come across and after years of coming here it's lovely to see familiar faces. Thank you Michelle for your hospitality, the place wouldn't be the same without you ❤

    Eileen is a lovely woman who runs a beautiful home that could not have been nicer to stay in. She was happy to offer us a ride to and from Portmagee for dinner, had a deck of cards when we adked for one, and provided three terrific breakfasts. The location was phenomenal, and she had a variety of options for things to do nearby that we otherwise would not have found. We've booked stays from Bulgaria to Edinburgh and this was the most pleasant we've had!

    The location is to die for - absolutely beautiful, and isolated from the crowds. The B&B itself is bright, clean, has a veranda directly overlooking the bay, and is tastefully decorated with everything from funky (in a good way), cool fine art, Old maps, historic photos and old maps. The owner was very friendly and helpful, serving tea on the veranda (!) and making a reservation for us at the local restaurant. First class service!

    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!

    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.
