Atlantic Villa - Self Catering Cottages

What a gem of a place. We feel so lucky to have found this gorgeous cottage with very friendly, professional and courteous hosts such as Jackie & Mo. It exceeded our expectations. Just a perfect get away. We look forward to returning. Thank you so so much.

Brian and Jackie are just great hosts- from the minute we met them they were so friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. It really didnt feel like we were guests.||We booked one of their self catering cottage- it was so nice we extended our stay for an extra night.||Everything you want was in the cottage for self catering holiday. The cottage was spacious modern but very in keeping with the cottage theme. Two large wetrooms, large dining area. I loved that they provided us with timber for the stove. Our kids played happily outside in the garden feeding their hens and playing with there cats. Jackie even offered some beautiful herbs if we needed it. We have already booked for 2021 and I have and would highly recommend booking these cottage- totally relaxing.

We loved our stay at Atlantic Villa. The location is lovely and Kinghtstown is a charming little village. Our room had a view of the gardens and sea. Jackie was friendly and extremely helpful and found a book about the locality for me from their extensive library. Best of all was breakfast, with an amazing spread of locally-sourced options. My Skelligs porridge with honey from their own bees was fantastic. We hope to be back!

We chose Atlantic Villa both for its historic value and close proximity to Port Magee and, thus, Skellig Michael. Jackie and Brian are your consummate hosts who extended that warm hospitality the Irish are renowned for. Months in advance of our arrival I requested Jackie's help in securing seats on one of the few boats licensed for landing tours of Skellig Michael; she came through for us. There are no facilities on Skellig Michael and it is recommended that visitors bring a prepared lunch and water - Jackie and Brian to the rescue again, for an added fee of course.|We stayed in the "Africa" room, a king garden view room with shower en suite - clean, quiet, and comfortable. As Americans we felt the bed was more a queen than a king but we managed comfortably. Breakfast was a delight - fresh eggs, produce, and honey...I enjoyed the large dining table around which all the guests would have communal breakfast together. The house and property are lovely and there is much to see and do on Valentia island if you have the time. Thank you Jackie and Brian - your attention to detail and attentiveness was much appreciated! Aloha ~More

This is a vintage B&B since it has a story to tell. We had a great and spacious room in this house which is run by the lovely couple Jackie and Brian. The breakfast was great, most of the food is home grown and prepared with love. In general Valentia Island is very nice and worth a visit. For Dinner we followed Jackies recommendation and took the ferry and went to the restaurant at the other side. A real GEM as well, specially when you like seafood.

We chose to stay on Valentia Island for 3 nights to celebrate a family birthday and visit the Skelligs. Without doubt, what made it special was Atlantic Villa. Jackie and Brian could not have been more friendly, welcoming and helpful in suggestions of places to visit, walks, good food in the area etc.. And the breakfasts they gave us were the best ever: delicious, high quality, colourful (with flowers from the garden!) and scrumptious meals, beautifully served with fresh produce, including the best soda bread I've ever tasted (home made by Jackie). We would definitely recommend this as a wonderful place to stay, tucked away from the road, with a pretty garden, lovely sea views, but only a short stroll down to the harbour.

One of the nicest bed and breakfasts 8 have had the pleasure of staying in.Our hosts Jackie and Brian made us feel so welcome.we had a super bedroom with a most comfortable bed.The bed linen was so crisp and luxurious. Our breakfast menu was a delight,I choose the healthy option ,it was delicious. Jackie and Brian were so helpful and had great suggestions for activities close by.we sat out in the garden in the evening watching the sun set over the Atlantic ocean,pure magic.I, let most definitely be back.5 stars all the way.

Jackie and Brian were wonderful hosts! Very helpful and knowledgeable about activities and restaurants. The breakfasts were delicious, substantial, made to order, and really beautiful. Their food is organic and they grow edible flowers which make the plate even prettier, and they are beekeepers so there is fresh honey to drizzle on your porridge, and spoon into your tea. Our bed was comfortable, the view was beautiful, and the area was very quiet. We would stay here again! Thank you, Jackie and Brian.
