You could sit for hours watching the boats bob into the bay of Valentia Island from the storybook armchairs of this crisp, contemporary lodge. And that's precisely how the architect of this newly-built home intended things to be. Set right on the island's edge, every room and picture window offers tremendous views of the ever-changing seas and green hills beyond on this oh-so-peaceful isle. The setup from the stylish main bedroom with a separate sitting room to drink up the jaw-dropping vistas is dreamy. And don't get us started on the unparalleled seascapes outside on the vast lawns wrapping around this home – the spot for sundowners as the sea crashes onto the cliffs below. Should you ever be persuaded to leave this home, you'll discover you're right in the heart of Knightstown Village with its quirky shops and traditional inns for whiskey in the jar, singalongs and all the Irish charm you're chasing. And of course, there's always the sea – how could we forget. You're just a five-minute drive or a half-an-hour walk to the delightful pebble beach, Glanleam Beach for kite flying and picnics. Or, for sand-castle building days, hop on a boat to the neighbouring Beginish Island.

About Ireland
The population of the Republic of Ireland sits close to five million, yet in 2019, it welcomed over nine-and-a-half million tourists. Why could that be? It might be tempting to put it down to the naturally friendly disposition of the Irish (one of the most widely known Gaelic phrases, ‘céad míle fáilte’, translates as ‘a hundred thousand welcomes’), but there’s a little more to it than that.
