About this property

Knightstown 1 mile.

A charming, traditional, detached Irish cottage set in a quiet position just a stone's throw from the water's edge, between the villages of Chapeltown and Knightstown on Valentia Island. Care has been taken to preserve the original character of this single-storey property, whilst providing a comfortable standard of accommodation and convenience. The property benefits from a welcoming open fire and delightful informal gardens to the rear, which afford privacy and seclusion. With excellent walking and cycling from the doorstep and a variety of boat trips departing nearby, Brendan's Cottage provides an ideal base for people who want to explore this beautiful and fascinating corner of County Kerry.

Located on Valentia Island - which lies off the coast of the Iveragh Peninsula in County Kerry – Knightstown is a wonderful spot for a holiday. Easily accessible from the mainland by a ferry that runs from Reenard Point, or via the road bridge at Portmagee, Knightstown provides restaurants and pubs, as well as entertainment and local shops. It also offers a variety of sightseeing boat trips and fishing trips from its picturesque harbour. With around 650 residents, Valentia Island was the site of the first permanent communications link between Europe and the United States, and is famed for its magnificent 'Fogher' sea cliffs and its subtropical gardens at Glanleam House.
