Gort Gower Cottage on Valentia island - holiday cottage to rent, see below for details.
Valentia island has a car ferry service to Knightstown and it is also connected to the mainland by a bridge at Portmagee village.
With one of the best views in Kerry, our comfortable three bedroom cottage is ideal for families and close to the sheltered and unspoiled Glanleam beach. The island lies within the gulf stream and consequently has a climate that is mild throughout the year. The beautiful sub tropical gardens at Glanleam house are open to visitors throughout the summer months. Holidaymakers come for the sea and lake fishing, walking, painting, cycling, swimming and photography.
The cottage, which is over 200 years old is privately owned and is one of a pair that were originally part of the Knight of Kerry's Glanleam Estate. There are many bars with live music and restaurants offering local produce and high cuisine on and off the island.
During the summer you can take a trip by boat from Portmagee harbour to Skellig Michael island, a filming location recently made famous for the Star Wars films, 'The Force Awakens' and 'The last jedi.
