The Skellig Experience
In THE SKELLIG EXPERIENCE CENTRE you can experience many aspects of those offshore Skellig islands while remaining on the dry land, in a custom built, stone clad, grass roofed, prize winning building located right on the waterfront beside the Valentia Island bridge at Valentia, County Kerry! Here, through re-creations and models you can study the works and lives of the Skellig monks of the early Christian period, their activities, their endurance and their dedication in gaining a foothold on a tiny, inhospitable, offshore island and creating a community there that survived for some 600 years. In The Skellig Experience’s 80-seat auditorium, a 16-minute audio-visual presentation will take you in the footsteps of those Skellig monks, and wonder at the legacy of architecture that they left behind. In The Skellig Experience’s re-created Skellig sea cliff, with life-size models, you can get to know, by sight and sound, the life and times of the Skellig Monks.

Enjoy a Round of Golf at Waterville Links course Par 72 (10 minutes drive)
Tiger Woods and Mark O’Meara traditionally make a golfing pilgrimage to Waterville in the run up to the British Open each year. Ranked among the Top 25 International Courses by Golf Digest, Waterville is truly a mystical Links in the Kingdom of Kerry. The par three, 17th, known as “Mulcahy's Peak” is probably Waterville's feature hole, but most would agree with Gary Player when he described the 11th as "the most beautiful and satisfying par 5 of them all". It runs for almost 500 yards through majestic dunes. You feel almost in a world of your own as you stroll along the fairway reflecting how well the hole merits the name, "Tranquillity".
The late Henry Cotton, three times British Open Champion, probably said it best when he commented: "Waterville has to be one of the greatest golf courses ever built. If it were located in Britain, it would undoubtedly be a venue for the British Open. I have never seen a more consistent
succession of really strong and beautiful golf holes than here."
Another jewel in the crown is Dooks. The golf course is laid out on one of three stretches of sand dunes at the head of Dingle Bay. In the immediate foreground are the dune peninsulas of Rossbeigh and Inch, while just a few short miles away, the whitewashed houses of Cromane fishing village provide another eye catching distraction. To the southeast are the famed peaks of McGillycuddy Reeks, while looking northwards across the bay; one can see Slieve Mish and the Dingle mountains dominate the landscape. Dooks offers the visitor a unique links experience in a majestic setting and is perfectly suited to the golfer seeking a tranquil environment in which to enjoy a superb golf course. The par 3, 13th hole, measuring 150 yards, probably best represents the charm and magic that is inherent at Dooks.

Some comments from guests ""I love the house we had a brilliant time. We saw a lot of dolphins off Ballinskelligs bay and rented a kayak which was brilliant"
"We had a great stay, the house is lovely and very child-friendly – and hope to come back soon! Views are spectacular and we loved touring the adjoining area. This is a magical part or Ireland and made for a great holiday"
"A warm and hospitable house
with your perfect attention to detail, we were so impressed with
the home that it was - not any rented house - but a warm home for two
families."
"Stunning and spectacular are the first two words that spring to mind when I think back to our stay in this fantastic property. The views are simply breathtaking from every window in the house. One of the greatest pleasures was waking up and looking out at the amazing scenery from the comfort of the bed, with the same view available in each of the four bedrooms. Indeed, there was nothing more pleasurable than having a glass of wine on the upstairs balcony and watching the sunset over the islands. The kids loved the place as there was about 3/4 of an acre of garden to play in. We were only a couple of hundred yards walk from the beach where we hired out sea kayaks and also did a bit of wind surfing. The local gastro pub overlooking the beach is very child friendly and serves great food while the Cill Rillig arts centre is even closer still and offers coffees/lunches all served, incredibly, by an award winning chef. We recommended this place to friends who are booked to go down and we're looking forward to returning ourselves next year as it was a very memorable holiday for the whole family."
"Our ideal family holiday home and WOW what views"
