The location was remote, which was what we wanted. The decor was well-done and it had everything we could need. We were just sad we booked for one night only. Would've loved a longer stay.
WiFi was a little weak, but that was to be expected given the remote location.

Host was wonderful. Brilliant instruction on how to get there and loads of information about the area. Couldn’t have been more helpful
Would have like a second bathroom but it was an authentic Irish house so didn’t affect us

Check in was easy, the host provided lovely recommendations for nearby, and the location is stunning. The house itself is gorgeous and gives you the perfect rugged vibes.
Just the one washroom downstairs can get tricky in the morning, but otherwise no issues at all.

This is a gorgeous cottage - the pictures don’t really capture how quaint and pretty the home is. The garden is stunning too and the views from the property are beautiful.
The only small downside were the beds - not the most comfortable for me - other than that I would have scored it full marks.

This place was so cosy we stayed for one night, 3 sisters. The fire was set for us in the kitchen and sitting room, it took some time to heat up, but when it did the place was really toasty. Beds had electric blanket on each one, bed linen was fresh smelt lovely, bed needed the electric blanket as was cold, it been February. Kitchen had all that we required. Sitting room was cosy. Don't expect 5*, it's a rustic farmhouse. Bathroom was nice and big with beautiful tiling and large shower, beautiful sink and the rustic wooded sink surround was beautiful. Would have loved to have sat outside and enjoyed the lake view but unfortunately the weather was cold and wet. Right up the road we visited Geokaun Mountain and Fogher Cliffs fantastic views, we also went to the Slate mine and down to the Lighthouse. Absolutely fantastic scenery on our doorstep. I would definitely return here again and would definitely recommend Boss's Farmhouse.

The location was superb - close to both Valentia town and Portmagee, and the breathtaking Skelling Ring landscapes. The short hike to Bray Head on Valentia gave spectacular views of the Kerry Cliffs, and Skellig and Blasket islands. Wild and wonderful, Valentia is a very special place to explore.
Our only, slightly negative feedback to our lovely host was the main bed was a bit too short for my 6'2" husband, and a bit too soft for a sound night's sleep. Other than that, it was a unique cottage with every other comfort well planned out and obviously well-cared for by Anthea.

It's charm. It was very well kept and the kids loved it.
The owner had thought of detail in order to make you welcome. Little things that a family needs were well catered for. And then if that wasn't enough she came over to welcome us. Very kind. The house and the setting is beautiful.
No complaints.

Simply amazing stay at this truly wonderful location. The house is so cosy and is a great place to base yourself for local travel. It has everything that you would need for a relaxing stay and I just wish I had more time to enjoy this stay and the Island. I shall be back 👌

We did not stay here it had a sewage problem so Kathleen gave us The Blue Cottage Valentia
We arrived at Blue Cottage and outside looked like a building site. When we entered the property the damp fusty smell was awful. It alk looked clean and bathroom was newly refurbished. But unfortunately the bed linen was damp and fusty. We tried to get alternate place ro stay but everywhere was booked up. Do not stay at The Blue Cottage Valentia.

We loved the peat/wood burning stoves in the living room and kitchen. The electric bed heaters, Netflix and all the items needed to heat the stoves was great. Host was very helpful finding catering for our Christmas dinner and help with some minor issues. Loved the big shampoo/conditioner and soap in the bathroom.
Honestly, the only problem we had was figuring out which side of the road the property was on. We couldn't find an address or a name on a mailbox.

lovely house although a bit damp perhaps.
we arrived as a family of five late in the evening and it would have been nice to have a small welcome such as milk in the fridge and tea bags.

Love the style of the house. Very homely and cosy! Great location and it was so nice to be able to sit in the garden and have breakfast! Very peaseful
Found it very dark coming in at night. Some extra lighting outside would be good

Fantastic location perfect for a stopover on the Ring Of Kerry, loved the layout, the decor and the blooming flowers in the garden. Very usefull hints and tips from the host. Reccomend booking ahead for the local restaurants. Reccomend a walk to the top of the hill and over the crossroads to see the sea beyond.
Nothing it was all excellent

Good contact from the host prior to arrival. The entrance is a little tricky to spot along the road but found it without much difficultly. Spotlessly clean home with plenty of space. A great base from which to explore the area.

Mooie locatie, en hele goede routebeschrijving.
Benedenverdieping had een penetrante geur van verbrande turf.
Raampjes in kachel ontbraken.
Geur leidde toch een heftige astma aanval.
Daardoor direct de woning verlaten en een andere locatie gezocht.
Contact gehad met eigenaresse, die passief,agressief,reageerde op onze situatie.
Mw stond niet open voor een financiële tegemoetkoming aangezien we geen gebruik hebben kunnen maken van Boss's Farmhouse!
