Our home is modern, cosy, warm and welcoming, with stunning views all around, on a clear day you can even see the Blasket Islands off the coast of the Dingle Peninsula! Towels and fresh linen are provided to guests. Full Irish Breakfast is included in the room rate and there is free wi-fi available throughout the house.
Myself and my husband Daniel moved to Valentia Island ten years ago and built our home here.
Before moving to Valentia Island we spent many years in Cork, where we lived and worked happily, before making the big jump and moving to Kerry and Danny's childhood home. We have been here ever since and are very active in the local community.
We are very relaxed hosts, happy to give guests time and space to themselves, but more than willing to give our guests any help and advice they might need.
We hope to see you soon!
Nestled to the rear of the Island near St Brendan's Well, legend has it that St. Brendan sailed here from Dingle and scaled the cliffs where he found a couple of dying pagans and anointed them – the first catholic converts on the island.
Being in walking distance of Bray Head Tower, and just a stones throw away from Portmagee Village the departure point for boats traveling to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Skellig Micheal, Cuas a Gamhna offers its guests both a serene and secluded home to unwind and relax, while being conveniently located near all that Valentia Island has to offer.
The perfect jump off point for your holiday.
Please note, the nearest ATM is in Cahersiveen town, located 30 minutes from our home. Please make sure to bring cash for extras.
