Booking is required at times but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and atmosphere. Definitely a place to go during summer months. Thank you

We had an excellent dinner at Valley House. Afterward we sat in the sitting room to listen to the Irish music being played in the pub. The manager engaged us in conversation about places to hike on the island that were within our capabilities.

Had a most comfortable and happy stay at the Valley House. The occasion - my daughter's 40th. We stayed in the main house, a gem of Victorian times which wears its great age with grace. We were warmly greeted by our host who wasn't a bit perturbed that we wanted to hit the bar for a breather after a long journey from Dublin before we went to our rooms. The bar in the Valley House is special. A turf fire and very friendly barman helped us down from the 5 hours drive. (We stopped for lunch. Our rooms were fine, adequate for our needs. The Valley House is special. It's not the first time I have been there but the first time I have stayed. The house, being gently ushered into the 21st century, by Pat and Alice, is a small treasure. It has some very fine features,.large reception rooms, huge fireplaces and some original flooring. It's like no other 'hostel' I have ever known. We had a ball. I think it's safe to say we all had a ball. Great place for a party. Warm and welcoming hosts, lovely bar staff, great music sessions, and yes .. there's a fairy trail in the ground. We didn't venture this time. Next time

Like many old, historic houses, this place is creaking. It's lovely to look at and stay in but several things weren't up to scratch: my shower wasn't working properly and when it was, the water was never hot enough for me. The breakfast was basic (fruit, toast and beverage) and there were repairs going on on the first floor where my room was. To be fair, the upgrade is in progress and the staff are friendly and helpful. There's a kitchen and fridge to make your own meals and a TV in the lounge where I was able to watch both semi-finals of the Champions League. Also Mr Gallagher, the owner, is charm itself.

Just had a four night stay, such a comfortable, friendly, fantastic place to stay. We loved it from the minute we arrived. So relaxed, staff super friendly and a great little bar with wonderful entertainment. Definitely had the best pint of Guinness ever. Well done to all the staff doing such a great job. Looking forward to returning. Highly recommend.

Very friendly place for a drink, but I can't recommend staying here if you need darkness to sleep. Room has a window to the hall light and a bright green light from the smoke alarm. Shower doesn't drain, so is dirty and overflowing. Could be a great place to stay, but I was unable to sleep with all the lights.

We stayed for 5 days in the valley hostel and we had a ball! The bar was great craic, lovely food and the staff are so helpful and friendly! The beds are very comfortable and there’s charging ports for each bed so no fighting over sockets! Bathrooms are pretty modern and a good shower too! ( also provided with towels) I’d highly recommend and I will be returning!
