By the time we reached the breakfast bar (and we were there at 9am) there wasn't much choice of bread, fruit etc.. but the full irish breakfast was really nice.

The reception staff was amazing.. very friendly and helpful. The location was perfect for us. Rooms very clean and nicely decorated.

Bedroom could do with blackout curtains

I didn't have the full breakfast but what I had was top quality,

The radiators in the room needed to be bled as the room was quite cold. This affected the quality of sleep.

Booked at short notice, we managed to get rooms when our original plans fell apart. It's a hotel with history and it shows. The staff were very accommodating and allowed us to park our bikes up close to the door for security. The food was lovely and very reasonably priced

maybe some brochures on activities and restaurants in the area [not all are open the time of year I visited] and a free map of the area.

I have arthritis, and when I booked I didn't realise there was no lift to upper rooms. The staff quickly and pleasantly changed my booking to a ground floor room at no extra charge and put in an extra heater I could plug in without me having to ask. It was quiet and comfortable. I liked the old worldly feel of the decor, and the view from the front over the sea and mountains, and the places to sit outside in good weather. The dinner was very good, and so was the breakfast. All of the staff were friendly and helpful.

Bad smell of sewage at night

So friendly & clean

Four folks in one room is a little squeezy but for one night, you can put up with the close confines and if you want more space, get more rooms.

Ideal place to start exploring the Skellig Ring from with numerous historical sites on Ventia Island. Also, a great place to break your travels from the Ring of Kerry.

I marked down the comfort rating as our mattress was lumpy and felt like it was due for upgrading but otherwise absolutely no complaints

This beautiful hotel is in a fantastic location, it’s very clean and the staff and food are amazing.

There wasn't much open during our stay (mid September).

Valentia Island was beautiful. The first room they gave us was not nice, but we were given a much nicer room.

Lovely hotel. Friendly receptionist. Clean comfortable rooms. Great food. Guinness only €5 per pint ! Saturday night in the hotel is great fun with live music and craic.

Overall, I was really satisfied. There was a long delay one evening in the dining room, during a rather busy dinner period. Understandable, and probably unavoidable under the circumstances. And handled with good humour by the hard-working staff. That was my only "crib", and it was a slight one.

Genuine friendly welcome from our arrival until we (reluctantly) left. A minor problem dealt with quickly and efficiently. Room very comfortable. Bar and dining room staff friendly ad pleasant. Management (very hard working) welcoming, helpful, friendly. This is a small hotel, does not pretend to be one of the great hotels. Some great touches -the old photographs of the hotel and the island in past years, the model boats, the magnificent staircase, the history of the hotel. So much to inform and enjoy.

We didn’t dislike anything as the location was perfect to explore some of the stunning attractions on the island.

The hotel was set in a lovely setting with comfortable rooms. It was full of charm with beautiful windows and a lovely staircase down to the bar. A very comfortable and relaxing stay.
