    I’m not sure I’d want to sleep in the caravan again.

    It was quirky. Not at all what I expected but a very earthy and back to nature kind of camping experience. Brendan is a great host and I like what he is trying to do with his sustainable camping

    Absolutely perfect! We stayed in the bus and really enjoyed our night there and the day in Valentia. We rented bikes on site (better if you let them know in advance to make sure they have enough) and discovered the island by bike. The hosts were amazing and super friendly. The breakfast absolutely fantastic! 100% recommended

    It's a quirky caravan site tucked away in lovely grounds very near knightstown and portmagee on Valentia Island in the heart of the stunning Skellig Ring. Kids or groups would love this site but it's also private for couples and people travelling solo. There's a cosy renovated cottage for gathering outside of the caravan day or night. Plenty of toilets and showers so there's never any queues. Heaters and electric blankets ensure even the wettest nights are cosy under the fabulous tin roofed canopies. Fabulous breakfast spread with a range of fresh fruit, juices, cereals, scrambled eggs and even pancakes! Brendan and his kids are great hosts.

    We had an incredibly nice stay at Island Escape. We were there for two nights but honestly, we could have easily stayed longer. The vibe among the campers was super relaxed, and even as someone over 2 meters tall, I had plenty of space in the bed and slept really well. Breakfast, served in the large stone house starting around 8:00 (or earlier if arranged with the host), was absolutely fantastic – great coffee, a variety of cheeses, and the fresh scrambled eggs and pancakes prepared daily by the host were top-notch. The showers and sanitary facilities were clean, and the whole little camper village is just incredibly charming and cozy. A special shoutout to the host and his family – they were super welcoming, always had great recommendations for things to do in the area, and we really enjoyed the nice chats we had with them. Highly recommended – we’d come back anytime!

    Very quirky spot.. Very well laid out. Brendan was an excellent host. Very accommodating as we were a family of 8 adults our original accommodation was tight so he kindly upgraded us to an extra space. We stayed in the bus, boathouse and gypsy caravan. Toilets and shower blocks were spotless. Brendan cooked us delicious pancakes and eggs for breakfast and also had a lovley spread of fresh fruit Yougurt and bread. Fantastic value overall

    Breakfast was generous and delicious. Loved the pancakes. The room was more than adquate, cozy and the bathrooms were clean and convenient. Perfect location for everything in Valentia Island and going to Skellig Islands. Loved how quiet the place was and enjoyed the company of Brendan and staff. Great deal on electric bikes which we loved touring around Valentia Island. Wouldn't look to stay anywhere else than here when we come back to Valentia Island.

    I didn't like leaving the place!

    This is the coolest place on the island! If you're looking for something different, affordable and comfortable, this is for you! It's the perfect location to reach all points of the island easily. The accommodation is so quirky yet very comfortable and very clean. The breakfast is so fresh and tasty. The communal toilets and showers were spotless. There was so much privacy in how each quirky accommodation was laid out together. Be sure to visit the only beach on the island, Glanleam (10mins away) and Goerkan Mountains (8 mins away) for the most stunning views of the island and Kerry.

    Only the weather was bad during our stay, we had booked a landing tour of the Skellig islands, which couldn't go ahead. We stayed here 2 nights, and spent one day in bed in the caravan because the weather was too miserable to go exploring. It would be good if they had a constant stock of non dairy/plant milk. I learned on our trip exploring Southern Ireland that the country isn't very vegan friendly if eating out. Maybe not enough people ask for plant milk to warrant a constant supply?

    Amazing unique place, grounds are very well kept and all the plants among the caravans give privacy and look great. Big communal kitchen area which is also very nice! And a good variety of very healthy things for breakfast. I'm vegan, and the owner didn't have any plant milk on the first morning, but bought some for me for the next morning which was very kind. We went to Driftwood Surf Cafe for dinner one night and I strongly recommend a visit here, the best view I've seen from a restaurant, and food is very good!
