Photos and Description of the County Kerry vacation house rental An Elegant B&B Steeped In History And Its 4 Self-catering Holiday Homes

Glanleam is an enchanted old estate. Spellbound by its magical setting of sheer natural beauty the Knights of Kerry made Glanleam their home. Keen botanists, they planted 1000's of foreign and exotic plants into the already existing woods in Glanleam's valley, resulting in today's jungle-like subtropical paradise. Five generations of Knights lived here, each extending the original building, turning Glanleam House into a manor - now an elegant B&B by its present owners. The Boathouse, Gardener's Cottage, Estate Manager's House and Hothouse are converted into beautiful self-catering holiday homes. Beyond the woods and gardens Glanleam's soft meadows turn into weatherbeaten fields as they meet the rough southwest Kerry coast stretching as far as the lighthouse. Walking here is a nature trail of its own with an ever-changing scenery. Also included in Glanleam is a working farm with sheep, geese and chickens (and delicious eggs!), ponies, dogs, bunnies and possibly world's oldest cat.

Glanleam is situated on the island of Valentia, in the county of Kerry. Situated in its own private valley it offers peace, tranquility and 'getting-away-from-it-all. At the same time Glanleam is just a few minutes drive away from the famous and busy (and 'must-see') Ring-of Kerry and is conveniently close to the attractions of Kerry. Valentia is about 7 miles long and 3 miles wide, consists of 2 villages, 1 gone-back-in-time grocery store, 3 busy pubs, 4 cafes/restaurants, 2 souvenir shops, a candle maker, an endless supply of breathtaking scenery and local attractions, and the most welcoming locals, always making time for a chat - this is real island life. For bigger shopping it is advisable to go to Caherciveen, either by car ferry or by bridge. It takes between 20 to 30 minutes to get there, depending on your choice of crossing. Caherciveen is probably the only country and seaside town, which did not 'profit' from the recent booming years and remained truly Irish and very special.

Schöne Ferien

phrb 48565
Review Submitted: August 29, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
In der Sandbar in Knightstown auf Valencia Island haben wir einen leckeren Sundae genossen. Zum Schmöckern liegen dort einige Bücher aus. Was Jamie Oliver kocht, kann man dort zum Beispiel nachlesen. Und dann liegt da noch ein Buch mit den 500 schönsten Inseln. Wir haben es auch angesehen, sind also mit den Augen von einer Insel zur nächsten gesprungen und blieben dann an ganz unerwartet an einem Bild von Valencia Island hängen.

Wir können die Wahl der Buchautoren nur bestätigen. Valencia Island ist ganz besonders. Als wir vor ein paar Jahren schon einmal hier in der Nähe Urlaub gemacht haben, haben wir die Insel eher zufällig besucht. Sie liegt ein Stück abseits vom touristischen Treiben auf dem Ring of Kerry und wir waren sofort einig, dass wir hier einmal länger herkommen wollten.

Am meisten fasziniert uns das Glanleam House mit seinem großen Garten. Große alte Bäume, riesige Farne und Bambus, ja sogar Palmenarten, aber natürlich auch das einzigartige „Glanleam gold“ wachsen hier. Den besonderen Reiz des Gartens erlebt man, wenn man auf den verschiedenen Wegen geht, dem Plätschern und Rauschen der kleinen Bächlein lauscht und sich fast wie im Dschungel fühlt. Man kann die alte Parkstruktur erahnen, doch die Originalität des Gartens liegt darin, dass sie die Pflanzen nicht in Formen zwingt. Alles wirkt kraftvoll und zugleich strahlt der Garten Ruhe aus. Vom seawalk aus hat man ständig den Blick auf die ruhige Bucht vor Knightstown, manchmal mit kleinen Segelbooten. Ein wenig weiter taucht dann der Leuchtturm auf. Er ist der rauen Meerseite zugewandt.

Schön, dass die Besitzer hier verschiedene Möglichkeiten bieten, den Urlaub zu verbringen. Die Reisenden auf dem Ring of Kerry nutzen „bed and breakfast“ im Glanleam House. Daneben sind aber verschiedene Häuser vorhanden, die für einen längeren Aufenthalt vermietet werden.

Für unsere Kinder war der Garten wie ein Abenteuer. Immer wieder gab es etwas Neues zu entdecken. Gänse, Hühner und Pferde zum Beobachten und genügend Platz zum Spielen.

Erholsame Ferien in wunderschöner Umgebung

Review Submitted: August 16, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Herzlichen Dank für den schönen, gemütlichen Aufenthalt und die sehr gute, freundliche Betreuung. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig, sehr sauber und gemütlich. Wir haben uns, trotz den Regentagen, wohlgefühlt und erholt. Der Garten ist eine Pracht und man spürt überall das echte Engagement der Besitzerfamilie. Meta & Jessica K. und ihr Mann sind sympathische, hilfsbereite Personen. Sam, der treue Hund, hat die Herzen unserer drei Kinder im Sturm erobert. Es war wirklich sehr schön.
Alles Gute wünscht Fam. B. aus M.

Traumhaftes Gelände

Review Submitted: June 6, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Wir waren über Pfingsten 2009 dort und hatten traumhaftes Wetter.
Allein der Garten und der Strand sind es Wert dorthin zu reisen.
Die Vermieter haben uns sehr nett betreut und lassen keine Gastfreundschaft vermissen.
