Firstly, we really enjoyed our stay and will come again! Just a couple of things….when we arrived to our beautiful room there was a faint smell of smoke and also a ‘drain smell’ in the bathroom. However, the latter disappeared once we used the sink, shower etc. Only other thing is that might be worth putting a radiator into the room rather than air heater.
Situated in Valentia Island in the Kerry region, with Skellig Experience Centre nearby, Skellig Nest features accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

The location was great - on the water just across from Portmagee on Valencia Island. June was a welcoming, responsive, and helpful host! The room was perfect for our one-night stay.

Loved the location! The little private beach at the back was paradise, we loved siting there on the bench looking out over the sea. The extra blankets provided were a nice personal touch.

This place was so cosy we stayed for one night, 3 sisters. The fire was set for us in the kitchen and sitting room, it took some time to heat up, but when it did the place was really toasty. Beds had electric blanket on each one, bed linen was fresh smelt lovely, bed needed the electric blanket as was cold, it been February. Kitchen had all that we required. Sitting room was cosy. Don't expect 5*, it's a rustic farmhouse. Bathroom was nice and big with beautiful tiling and large shower, beautiful sink and the rustic wooded sink surround was beautiful. Would have loved to have sat outside and enjoyed the lake view but unfortunately the weather was cold and wet. Right up the road we visited Geokaun Mountain and Fogher Cliffs fantastic views, we also went to the Slate mine and down to the Lighthouse. Absolutely fantastic scenery on our doorstep. I would definitely return here again and would definitely recommend Boss's Farmhouse.

The property was very well situated. It was superbly clean and comfortable. We had two kids and everything was perfect! Andy was a great host! Breakfast was a hit with our 5 year old.

The staff were so so nice. I have never met nicer. The room exceeded my expectations. I had walked 20km over mountains, so my body was aching, and the mattress that they had was the most comfortable mattress that anyone could have asked for. I will most definitely be back again. Also, they have a mini fridge in the room, which I think is great for anyone travelling with special diets or certain medication. Superb value for money! ALSO!!! I could see in the room. I hate when you stay in a hotel and the lighting is always crap, this place was so well lit!! FIRE 🔥

So many little gems on Valentia Island, we visited the Cable Station House and had the tour which was so interesting, we went on a nature walk nearby, we visited the slate quarry, Glanleam beach, we drove down to the lighthouse, the scenery is just beautiful, the Royal Hotel does gorgeous food, and the room was very comfortable and spacious, by accident we found the Geokaun mountain and cliff walk, which was spectacular as was the Bray head walk, Valentia Island is well worth a visit.

We found plenty to do and had plenty of time doing nothing. There was plenty to occupy us for a week without going too far or touring about. We were mostly on the island. There are places to eat out and drink, although eating in is good as there is a superb fishmonger across the ferry, Quinlan. Recommend the Skellig Museum and its combined special offer of a trip around the Skelligs, Bostons Bar and the cable museum. A few interesting short walks, 2 to 3 miles.

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. 👍

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!
Wow, such a cool place to stay! The old stone cottage is over 200 years old so don’t expect a modern luxury hotel experience but rather a cozy, firelight, magical experience. Love our stay here, highly recommended
Beautiful 18th century family home turned hotel nestled in a woodland area on the coast of Valentia Island. Two miles minute walk to a secluded beach. Jessica and Eoghan were such welcoming hosts.
Good value. Very friendly & helpful hostess. Great breakfast - chose pancakes with maple syrup! Very central on Valentia Island & for a trip to Skellig Michael.
