Guest Reviews

• Ágnes (10/5): -
• Senan (9/5): -
• raphael (10/5): - Old charming house with sea view and a nice host ! A little lack of water pressure in the shower
• Chieko (10/5): Beautiful room and garden - beautiful building and garden Nothing
• Fred (8/5): - Friendly helpful staff
• Barbara (1/5): Beschreibungen und Bewertungen aus unserer Sicht völlig unzutreffend! - Nichts! Haus und Garten wirkten völlig verwahrlost. Haustüre verzogen, konnte nicht abgeschlossen werden. Der Besitzer empfing uns kurz und knapp. Nach einem sehr schnellen Rundgang verließ er das Grundstück und wir befanden uns als alleinreisende Frauen in einer einem nicht abschließbaren Haus. Unser gewünschtes Zweibettzimmer war ein Zimmer mit Doppelbett und ein Bett im Vorraum des Badezimmers. Die Wand gekachelt und eine nicht überzogene Zudecke, kein Nachtisch und keine Lampe. Im Badezimmer lagen noch die Haare vom Vorgänger auf dem Boden im Duschbereich und ein Handtuch mit einem Blutfleck hing neben dem Waschbecken. Wir haben daraufhin das Haus verlassen und die Buchung bei Booking.com umgehend storniert. Nachdem wir dem Vermieter die Situation geschrieben haben, erklärte er uns in einer Nachricht, dass es nicht unsere Aufgabe wäre die Haustüre abzuschließen. Das Haus würde von ihm angeblich 24 Stunden videoüberwacht.
• Catherine (9/5): House on the water - An absolutely gorgeous spot on the water. The house has real charm and the host was very accommodating. The room was so large, and the view incredible but there were some small areas that could have gone over with a little more detail. None of it mattered though as the bed was so comfy and the house felt so welcoming
• Conway (10/5): Unique and cosy stay in such a beautiful part of Ireland - The house was so gorgeous! In such a nice, wooded area and right by the sea. My room was so large and comfortable and the furnishings were really unique. 10000/10 stars for the bed. The dining room in the morning had such beautiful light coming in and a view of the sea. And the service was excellent. I arrived a bit later than expected and was welcome in warmly. The only thing -- and it's my own doing, not even the accommodation -- was not giving myself time to get in the sea beyond the house and use the little sauna in the back garden!
• Sofia (6/5): -
• JENNIFER (8/5): -
• Vijayabalakrishnan (7/5): - Location was too good with private beach and garden. It's was an old building so we felt it's super cold even when the heater is ON.
• Brigitte (10/5): -
• Oliver (9/5): -
• Michelle (10/5): - Beautiful property, so peaceful, loved our stay.
• M Kara (10/5): - Breakfast was delicious. The house & grounds, on beach were outstanding!
• Kate (9/5): -
• Kevin (8/5): - Location, beach right in front of the b&b. Not much variety in Breakfast.
• katherine (4/5): -
• Joakim (10/5): Lugnt och vackert vid stranden i utkanten av Knight’s town. - Bra läge när Knights town med egen strand och trädgård. Vi bodde i ett fint hörnrum med vacker utsikt och bra badrum, skön säng. Lite fuktlukt i entren men det hör ju till i gamla hus.
• Gilles (5/5): J’oublierai rapidement cette expérience - Petit déjeuner très ordinaire Manque de soin Pas d’entretien Poussière Mauvaise odeur dans salle de bain Miroir de l’armoire cassé dissimulé par panneau papier Douche médiocre Pas d’eau chaude sur lavabo Pas de chauffage dans salle de bains Chauffage de la chambre trop tard le soir Pas de prise rasoir dans la salle de bains
• Heather (8/5): -
• CILLIAN (10/5): - Staff were wonderful, everything was perfect and I would go again.
• Yinwei (9/5): - Great 2-night stay at Reenglas House. The rooms were clean, the breakfast was delicious, and the hosts were very welcoming. Perfect, quiet location. Highly recommended!
• Ben (10/5): - The owner was massively accommodating even when I messed up my booking dates. A lovely step back in time, breakfast was great and the view amazing. Good value (we were slightly off season) but a great base for exploring the ring of Kerry.
• Jim (10/5): Enchanting place to visit while in Ireland - The location was a quiet rustic place in Ireland. The host was most exceptional and accommodating, and the sunrise in the morning was beautiful. The facility has an exceptionally old tree in the yard, which is certainly worth taking a photo of when you’re there. There really wasn’t anything to dislike about the place. We had a very pleasant stay with the host being most accommodating.
• Kathy Aldworth (9/5): - A gorgeous location, right on the beach, where we were able to walk to a lovely pub/restaurant for the best bowl of seafood chowder we ever had. The accommodations were spacious, the bed very comfortable, the breakfast delicious, and the host, very kind. We really enjoyed staying here!
• Rhea (9/5): Highly recommend this house - Friendly helpful host, great property with stunning views. Was peaceful and rejuvenating stay, great location for exploring the island.
• Paul (8/5): Lovely - View Nothing
• David (8/5): -
• Kevin (10/5): Beautiful Island House - Large, historical house on island. Superb view of water from bedroom. Fantastic hosts, and very comfortable bed. No TV a minor complaint.
• Patsy (10/5): A period house with incredible views and friendly welcoming hosts - The breakfast was delicious, I had a full Irish breakfast both mornings and everything was cooked perfectly. The view from the dining room was incredible. The bed was really comfortable and the shower was lovely. Reenglas house is in a wonderful location. I was very happy with my stay here. It’s location was one of the main reasons I chose to stay here and it certainly didn’t disappoint. It was a little on the cold side, but I didn’t mind that as most places are far too warm these days.
• Walter Domenico (10/5): -
• Marina (10/5): - Una casa maravillosa en un enclave perfecto. El personal agradable y atento. Volvería sin pensarlo!!!
• mary (5/5): Bed was clean and comfortable but everything else was weird. - The owner and the scenery It was old. Everything was mismatched. No Tea making Facilities in room. No TV in room.
• Leire (10/5): -
• Tamires (9/5): - It was great, lovely and quiet place, the sea view in the morning was a truly blessing.
• Martin (9/5): My stay on the island of Valentia was filled with highlights and my accommodation made it perfect. - This was an outstanding property to visit with wonderful views across the of the bay. The place was full of old-world charm with views to die for. The bed was probably the most comfortable I have enjoyed this year and I travel for work. With the private beach to enjoy I can only recommend a stay. Breakfast was significantly, but these things happen.
• Roxanne (9/5): Our stay at Reenglas House was ideal! What I lovely accommodation on Valencia Island! - Breakfast was great with both Full Irish and Continental provided. Lovely seaside views from the breakfast room. Perfect Way to start the day!
• Liam (5/5): The location was awesome views outstanding was welcomed plesenty only down side went down for breakfast at 8.30 and ther - The location and views were outstanding Took over 1.5 hours to get breakfast no apologie which made us late for our plan for the day
• Wendy (8/5): - Lovely heritage building. Living room with tv and tea and coffee. Delicious breakfast.
• Danielle (10/5): - Good location. Host has good local knowledge. Tasty breakfast
• Peter (10/5): Aanrader deze locatie aan zee, sereen met heerlijk ontbijt en mooi uitzicht - Wat een prachtige locatie op Valentina island. Zo rustig, uitzicht op de zee en die hoor je ook in de kamer. Zo sereen. We werden hartelijk verwelkomd met koffie en thee op de kamer. En iedere ochtend werd een heerlijk ontbijt voor ons gemaakt. Je kon aangeven wat je wilde eten. Was heerlijk en gezellig. Wat een fijne gastheer. Helemaal niets. Wellicht dat we langer wilde blijven...
• Susan (8/5): Ireland trip - Location was stunning No TV
• Claudia (10/5): - Die Atmosphäre des Hauses und die absolut ruhige Lage direkt am Meer mit eigenem Strand. Sehr sympathischer Gastgeber.
• Mirko (9/5): Pace e bellezza - Incantevole casa in riva al mare. Le nostre stanze erano quelle con la vista migliore. Molto spaziose e con decorazioni eleganti. Bagno un po’ piccolo ma comprensibile vista l’età dell’edificio.
• Hana (10/5): Lovely stay would definitely come again - Location, character, comfort, quiet surroundings
• Dennis (10/5): -
• Martin (10/5): Sehr empfehlenswert! - Sehr schöne, am Ufer gelegene, großzügige und stilvolle Unterkunft. Netter und aufmerksamer Vermieter. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen.
• June (6/5): It was ok , the property had so much potential though , but was a bit run down & tired looking - The location was great & had steps down to a private beach front & the property was very gentry looking of a period era & the was comfy There was no tv or tea making facilities but Kieran the host did bring us a kettle & 2 cups as we had our own tea/ coffee & milk We knew the room wasn’t en-suite & had a private bathroom but crossing the hallway was a bit awkward especially in the night, we were there for two days no one topped up toilet paper & we had to go looking into another bathroom after guests had left & take what was left of theirs! we never got our towels changed either so we still had damp towels the next day we didn’t see the host at all after the first breakfast, a fellow called Darren cooked served us the 2nd day & told us a lot of history about the island then we checked out
• Thomas (9/5): Beautiful house, and delightful owner -
• Katherine (8/5): Great Location for a Relaxing Stay in Kerry - I really enjoyed the location as it is a great launch point for visiting the skelligs. The island is beautiful and there is a town with a restaurant and a bar about half a mile away. There are lots of areas for relaxing walks. I enjoyed being able to have some quiet time by the private beach. It's a great area to stay to explore Kerry. The private bathroom for my room was not attached to the room.
• STEFANO (8/5): Bella vista, casa un po' dataat - La casa era in una buona posizione, un po' isolata ma con una bella vista sul braccio di mare antistante. La casa è un po' datata ma accogliente, nel mio caso, era comunque scritto, il bagno privato era esterno.
• Ian (10/5): Ideal getaway to recharge - Layout. Proximity to beach. Peacefulness.
• Livia Bondì (7/5): Piacevole tappa lungo il Ring of Kerry - La struttura è una dimora storica, che affaccia letteralmente sul mare. Dal giardino si accede alla spiaggia direttamente, scendendo quattro scalini. Il personale è gentile e disponibile. Presterei un po' più di attenzione ai servizi: non avevamo un tappetino del bagno e gli asciugamani erano umidi. Complessivamente si respira un'aria autentica, ma alcune scelte sull'arredamento ci sono sembrate un po' decontestualizzate (tipo le stampe giapponesi).
• Nazerali-Ruddy (10/5): Wonderful, quiet retreat with incredible views. - Our stay at Reenglas house was incredible. The location and views are STUNNING. The house is beautifully maintained and very comfortably furnished - I slept like a baby in a very comfortable bed with the sounds of the ocean right outside the window. We were looking for a restful retreat and Reenglas house was exactly what we needed. Our hosts were friendly and informative, and the breakfast was delicious. The single (and very minor!) downside to our stay was that our bathroom wasn’t connected to our room and that the shower water pressure was very low. That said, it was only just across the hall, and having to come out of our room didn’t bother us in the slightest! Just good for others to know that that may be the case for some (but not all) rooms.
• Ann Marie (6/5): - Location. Views Faded and tired
• Annarosa (9/5): -
• Andreas (9/5): -
• Ana-Maria (10/5): - One of my favorite stays: pretty house, amazing lake view and nice host.
• Collins (10/5): - This home is full of charm and character. Reenglass sits right on the water with incredible all day views whether from your room or the perfectly set bench underneath a huge shade tree on the beach. Kieran is a wonderful and attentive host and Darren is a fabulous chef. All we asked and more each of our four days on the island. Don’t miss out on this Valentia Island home.
• Mark (8/5): - Comfy bed Fantastic location Period house No TV No tea making facility in room But these are minor things when you have such a great host and location
• davide (7/5): In riva all'oceano - Posizione stupenda in riva al mare Troppi ragni nella stanza e asciugamani non proprio candidi
• Stack (10/5): - Grand old house with plenty character, very charming, nice airy room
• Gerrit (8/5): -
• Kate (10/5): - Stunning location close to village ferry etc beautiful place Old but very comfortable home lovely place
• Bohuš Palečko (10/5): 10/10 Highly recommended - Accommodation is in beautiful and peaceful area
• edalin (10/5): -
• Clara (10/5): - L'emplacement est absolument magnifique avec l'accès à la mer par le petit jardin, avec la proximité de la ville et des randonnées. Le personnel est charmant et attentionné. La chambre est grande et bénéficie d'une superbe vue. Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable.
• Lorraine (10/5): -
• Bev (7/5): Lovey house full of history , perfect location and great host - Location excellent and great host ! Breakfast very good Comfortable bed and very quiet It dirty and unkempt in places . Would have like tea and coffee facilities in room
• Joyce (8/5): -
• Smith (9/5): - Clean and historic premises
• Anne (8/5): -
• Rafa Marti (10/5): Excelente - Todo. Tanto la ubicacion, el trato y el super desayuno. Gracias!
• Heidi (10/5): -
• Gianmarco (10/5): -
• Sue (4/5): The reality does not match the description. - Location was good. The online description and the website belied the reality. Lack of welcome, a single fold up bed instead of a full single bed despite the two bed description on the website. The quality and freshness of the bedlinen and well used towels were disappointing. No offer of assistance carrying luggage upstairs. The property did not look inviting from the outside and had a neglected feel about it. The unwelcome atmosphere made it feel like you were imposing in someone’s home.
• Alasdair (3/5): Renovation /upgrading incomplete or of poor stanndard -
• Marta (9/5): - The location Generally the place was clean but not spotless
• Lawrence (9/5): - Everything about Reenglass is so good, character and history of the house, hospitality of the owner and the location beside the sea
• Niamh (8/5): Quaint and comfortable - The property has a real quaint, old school feel to it. It is ideally located near the main village of the island, so the shop/ hotel/ pub and the ferry/ pier are in walking distance. It has beautiful gardens, and the seashore is literally in the back garden. The owner was such a lovely friendly man, who gave us recommendations on places to eat and places to see. The room and the bathroom were clean. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was tasty. We had a lovely stay and I will certainly recommend the place to others. There was nothing I didn't like. However, just so people are aware, the bathroom is not in the room and across the hall instead. This didn't bother us at all but that might be an issue for some people
• Jacqueline (10/5): I will return I will encourage others to stay didn’t want to leave handy for the little ferry to the point - The house is gorgeous old but lots of character located in the most beautiful place Comfortable and quiet the best bed ive slept in so far on a two week trip! Nothing only the weather which couldn’t be helped in the sun you could be anywhere!!
• Ilaria (9/5): - Bellissima posizione, camera molto spaziosa vista mare, splendido spazio esterno. Ci siamo sentiti immersi in un' atmosfera di altri tempi
• Dick (10/5): Would stay again - Great bed and food Could use more heat
• Donna (8/5): Couple travelling through Ireland. - Beautiful, stately home on the waterfront. A walk from the village. The room was big and comfortable with the bathroom across the hall. Breakfast was served by our host in the dining room. Our stay was only 1 night and the weather was rainy and grey. Would loved to have stayed with the sun shining.
• Ken (10/5): -
• Roland (6/5): - Blick aufs Meer. Haus und Zimmer ziemlich heruntergekommen, Unterkunft wird Bewertung und Bildern nicht gerecht. Preis/ Leistungsverhältnis passt nicht.
• Rachel (10/5): -
• Olivia (9/5): - Location was excellent. Room was beautiful large so comfortable overlooking sea to the mainland Mountains all around. Knights Town 1k straight to centre very very quiet road and area. We had bikes cycled in 5mins to centre of town. Small town with hotel shop takeaway and pub. Ferry to mainland every 10 mins or so 2 euro pp (bikes free).
• Max (10/5): -
• Louise (10/5): Terrific! Would absolutely recommend and hope to return some day. - This was a gorgeous B and B located right by the sea. Our room had a gorgeous view of the little beach right outside. Bed was very comfortable. House was really beautiful and we had a lovely stay. Very near the skelligs boat tour starting point in Portmagee. N/A
• Sally (9/5): -
• Monika (10/5): Sehr schönes ländliches Haus - Sehr gemütlich, richtiges Landhaus feeling. Wir wurden sehr herzlich aufgenommen, es störte auch nicht das das Badezimmer außerhalb auf dem gleichen Stockwerk war, das jedes Zimmer sein eigenes Bad hatte. Die Lage wunderschön am Wasser, alter Baumbestand. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt.
• Ara (10/5): An absolute dream of a stay, we couldn’t believe how beautiful it was - The grounds of this house are STUNNING. Truly a breathtaking view. The owners were so gracious and we were upgraded to a better room, free of charge. Breakfast was delicious - a full Irish breakfast with tea or coffee and delicious bread (also vegetarian options). All in all, could not have been a better stay. There was nothing we didn’t like, everything was wonderful!
• Peter (10/5): Endroit magnifique! - Tout, la maison historique, le parc, la situation, le cadre
• BUCKLEY (8/5): -
• walter (9/5): - Scenic No TV.
• Raphaëlle (9/5): -
• Franziska (10/5): Manor direkt am Wasser - Ein wunderschönes etwa 200 Jahre altes Manor mit vielen Möbel aus der Zeit und gleichzeitig der heutigen Zeit angepasste Details, z.B. Walk in-Dusche und USB-Steckdosen beim Bett, dafür kein TV im Zimmer, was nur den Charme der Einrichtung stören würde. Das grosse Eckzimmer ist besonders zu empfehlen mit Blick auf Wasser und Garten. Das Bett ist sehr gut. Nachts ist es absolut still. Der Steinstrand liegt direkt am Garten. Gastgeber Kieran ist in diesem Haus aufgewachsen. Bei meiner nächsten Irland-Reise werde ich auf jeden Fall wieder einige Nächte verbringen. Dass ich nach 3 Nächten wieder weiter musste.
• Heidi Emma (10/5): - Prachtige locatie in een prachtig huis. Kamer met zeezicht. Huis aan het strand. Voor herhaling vatbaar! Vriendelijke gastheer.
