Resting in the quaint, coastal town of Knight's Town, in the tranquil county of Kerry, lies this charming, three-storey cottage, 12 Cable Station Terrace. With a tasteful, art gallery style interior complete with antique embellishments, spacious living areas, and exquisite, panoramic sea views, this delightful property is ideal for families or a group of friends sharing, seeking a peaceful, self-catered stay in an idyllic, Irish setting. Make yourself at home in your new lodgings by cooking up and savouring a delicious feast in the well-equipped kitchen/diner, before settling down in the inviting sitting room, where you and your loved ones can enjoy a film on the wall-mounted TV whilst you're kept nice and toasty from the crackling embers of a solid-fuel stove. When sleep calls, indulge in a long, hot bath before retreating to one of four plush bedrooms, including two family rooms that await to deliver you a night of well-earned slumber. After sipping your morning coffee on the picnic bench out front as you take in your beautiful, seascape surroundings, head into Knight's Town on foot where you can stock up on essentials at Donal & Rosie Walsh´s Foodstore, brush up on local history at the Valentia Heritage Museum, before settling down for a pub lunch at Boston's Bar. If seafood is what you're craving, a short car ferry journey across to Reenard will bring you to O'Neills The Point Seafood Bar, an unmissable destination for nautical cuisine. Heading south, be sure to stop off at The Skellig Experience Visitor Centre on your way into Portmagee, which is home to the Portmagee Whiskey distillery, a must-visit location for enthusiasts. Keep travelling down the west coast to enjoy the spots of the sublime Kerry Cliffs, the Wild Atlantic Way Discovery Point, and Bá Fhíonáin, before pulling up a chair at the Driftwood Surf Cafe in St Finian's Bay to give yourself a break from cooking one evening. Whatever you choose to do during your stay, be sure to do it from 12 Cable Station Terrace.

The major settlement on Valentia Island, which is located off the coast of County Kerry's Iveragh Peninsula, is called Knightstown. It can be reached from the mainland via ferry from Reenard Point or by using the Portmagee road bridge. Together with local businesses and entertainment options, Knightstown has dining establishments and Irish pubs. Also, it serves as the starting point for a number of fishing and tourist boat tours. See the spectacular Skellig Islands, which are home to a sizable gannet and puffin population and were the location of a monastic settlement in the sixth century. The first permanent communications link between Europe and the United States was established on Valentia Island, which boasts 650 residents and is one of the most westernly inhabited places in Europe. Famous features of the island include the subtropical gardens of Glanleam House, which are a special treat for tourists of all ages, and the beautiful "Fogher" sea cliffs, which rise magnificently from the Atlantic Ocean on the northern side of the island.
