Welcome to Shore Cottage

Welcome to Shore Cottage on the Atlantic coast of Valentia Island.

 

This former fisherman's cottage has been renovated with a new annexe and combines Irish cosiness with modern comfort.

 

The living and kitchen areas look out over the sea and the Kerry mainland. From the bedrooms, the island's hinterland opens up with meadows, pastures and mountains.

 

Relaxing and unwinding is possible here as well as active holidays with hiking, cycling, fishing, sightseeing, boating and swimming.

 

We have lovingly furnished this cottage according to our personal ideas. We also spend our holidays here. Therefore, the cottage has a special individual touch and lacks nothing. The famous Valentia slate gives the cottage a local touch, both inside and outside.

​

The quaint village of Knightstown is only a few steps away. Here you can spend time in a café or pub or head off into the island's hinterland with mountains, cliffs, lighthouse, grotto, beach and unspoilt nature. From Knightstown you can also take a small ferry (April to September) to the mainland with the famous Ring of Kerry and the impressive Skellig Ring. Alternatively, you can always reach the mainland via the bridge at Portmagee.

 

The cottage has great central heating and a nice fireplace (bio-ethanol) and is therefore also suitable for cosy winter breaks.

​

Looking forward to welcoming you at Shore Cottage, Hannah, Siobhán & Peter
