    Just the one washroom downstairs can get tricky in the morning, but otherwise no issues at all.

    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.

    Would have like a second bathroom but it was an authentic Irish house so didn’t affect us

    Host was wonderful. Brilliant instruction on how to get there and loads of information about the area. Couldn’t have been more helpful

    The only small downside were the beds - not the most comfortable for me - other than that I would have scored it full marks.

    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.

    Everything

    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 setting was incredible, an old, remodelled farmhouse that was equal parts charming as comfortable. The bedrooms were cozy, the bathroom amazing, the kitchen had an old feel to it and one could get a sense of old Ireland! I had my morning coffee in the garden listening to the birdsong and sheep. I highly recommend this place; it is perfect for couples or families. We did the Skellig Michael landing tour the following day which was outstanding!

    Adorable place, perfect Ireland experience! Great location for Skellig Michael trip. We had 2 adults and 3 large teens and we all slept great. This house perfectly blend countryside charm with modern amenities.

    We had trouble figuring out how to work the dishwasher and the stove. A couple of other things went awry, but our host was helpful right away and things were rectified.

    The setting was lovely. Quirky house. Thank you to the host for bringing us a yummy pie and cream.

    Fantastic house, fantastic location, warm welcome. Traditional Irish farmhouse with lovely decor and amazing peat fires. High quality shower, soft beds. Only 2 of us staying here, but it really felt like home from home. Handy location to explore everything on the island and around the Ring of Kerry if that is what you want.

    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.

    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.

    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.
