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.

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!

We loved the house, it was very comfortable, had everything we needed. The kitchen was the best equipped kitchen ! The location is perfect, the beach at the end of the road. Not to mention the amazing pub at the end of the road
Nothing, Noreen was the perfect hostess and honeybee the perfect escape for our family
