Local areas of interest Valentia Island, Knightstown-Cahirciveen Ferry, Glanleam House Sub Tropical Gardens, Skellig Rocks Boat Trips, St Finians Bay (Surfing), Waterville & Skelligs Golf Courses, Portmagee Village, Waterville Lake Fishing, Sailing and Kayaking and Skelligs Chocolate Factory.

A highlight is a boat trip from Ballinskelligs Pier & from Portmagee to the stunning Skellig Michael Rock.

The Skellig rocks, which are located 12kms off the coast of Kerry, are of such an importance that they have been made a World Heritage Site. When you first see The Skelligs you wonder how or why anyone would live on such a remote rock in the middle of The Atlantic , when you visit and stand on the site of the monastery and Experience the Skelligs then you begin to understand.



Waterville is just 10 minutes drive The late Henry Cotton, three times British Open Champion, probably said it best when he commented: 'Waterville has to be one of the greatest golf courses ever built. If it were located in Britain, it would undoubtedly be a venue for the British Open. I have never seen a more consistent succession of really strong and beautiful golf holes than here.

Another jewel in the crown is Dooks Golf Links.
. The golf course is laid out on one of three stretches of sand dunes at the head of Dingle Bay. In the immediate foreground are the dune peninsulas of Rossbeigh and Inch, while just a few short miles away, the whitewashed houses of Cromane fishing village provide another eye catching distraction. To the southeast are the famed peaks of McGillycuddy Reeks, while looking northwards across the bay; one can see Slieve Mish and the Dingle mountains dominate the landscape. Dooks offers the visitor a unique links experience in a majestic setting and is perfectly suited to the golfer seeking a tranquil environment in which to enjoy a superb golf course. The par 3, 13th hole, measuring 150 yards, probably best represents the charm and magic that is inherent at Dooks.

Other nearby activities include cycling, walking, horse riding, fishing, diving, windsurfing,& many other water-sports.

It is minutes walk from the Ballinskelligs Inn and Rosie's Tavern.
It is a place that will warm your heart and offers the extra special comfort of a beautiful permanent home.
Whether you're planning a beach escape, a working retreat, or a group getaway, this house has the comfort, space, and prime location to make your stay unforgettable.

Please note: NO pets allowed.

There is children's playground only 10 minutes walk from the house. It is a great addition to the local facilities.

    A great house for a multi family holiday. There was plenty of relaxation space for the adults and entertainment space for the children. The host supplied lots of up to date local info on things to do/see and eat around the area. We would happily stay here again.

    The house is in the most beautiful area. The view is amazing and just down the road from a fantastic beach. A little hard to find (I used google maps street view before I went, this really helped in finding it) But really worth the effort. The house itself is deceptively large. There is a huge games/den area upstairs which is just fantastic for the kids, especially since it's Ireland and you can't guarantee the weather. There is so much in the house from games to cards. A TV downstairs and another in the games room for Wii or PlayStation. The kitchen has everything you could possibly want in it. And what's fantastic is that they also have all the essentials like salt, pepper, oil, washing up liquid etc. Saves you so much, not having to buy full packets for 1 or 2 weeks. The garden is lovely and has a picnic table so if you get the weather you could eat outside. Leesha manages the property and replies to any questions very quickly.

    Fabulous property in a great location, Ballinskellig beach is absolutely amazing, Leesha was an excellent host and very proactive in communication. We were two families of 4 each with children under ten, and the house felt very spacious. Thanks Leesha!

    We had a lovely family holiday. 3 generations from 5 years to 71 years. The house gave us all the space we needed to make a great holiday for us all. The kitchen was well equipped with every conceivable utensil. Loads of outside space with great views. We felt very much at home.

    We enjoyed our stay in Ballinskelligs. The surrounding area was beautiful. The area is somewhat remote and requires at least 20 minutes travel to get to the larger grocery stores, restaurants, etc. It was largely kid friendly, spacious enough for our family, and comfortable. We had hoped that the fishing equipment and DVD player would have been functional as advertised.
