This is an extra charge which is mostly payable to the Property Manager/Owner. In some cases, energy is charged at a fixed daily rate or a rate per unit on the units consumed or you are required to top up a Pre-Paid Meter while in others, energy charges are included in the rate you have paid. We advise you to check with the local Owner/ Property Manager prior to arrival how this is calculated or prior to making the booking.

A minimum refundable security deposit of €200 (per property) must be paid prior to check-in to your holiday home to the local Property Manager/ Owner.

A lovely and relaxing stay

We had a very nice stay at Honeybee Cottage. The location feels like being away from it all, the views from the kitchen make cooking there a less mundane task. Our two young children had a wonderful time running around outside. Valentia is a great base from which to explore this part of Kerry. Noreen was a friendly, helpful host. We would recommend the place to others!
