Southern Sun
About
Southern Sun serves Valentia Island from Carhan Rd, Carhan Lower, Cahersiveen, Co. Kerry, Ireland, a guest house on the Kerry coast. Guests have given it 4.7 out of 5 across 31 reviews, a solid record for a small property of this kind. The location sits on the mainland side of the bridge crossing to Valentia Island, with Knightstown and Chapeltown the main settlements on the island itself. Reenard and the Valentia Lighthouse lie close by, as does Geokaun, and the surrounding roads make the property straightforward to find.
Reaching Southern Sun from the island's towns is simple, since Cahersiveen connects directly to the roads running along the coast. The guest house's position near Carhan Lower places it on the edge of Cahersiveen rather than out on the island, so arrivals by car have a short run from the main routes.
Irish islands are cool, wet and windy through much of the year, with rain spread across the seasons and frost kept rare. Summer brings long evenings and the busiest ferry timetable, while winter gales can cancel sailings altogether. Irish is the everyday language on Gaeltacht islands such as Inis Mór, Inis Oírr and Tory, though English dominates daily life elsewhere.
Valentia Island itself is reached by road bridge from the Cahersiveen side, and the nearby villages of Knightstown and Chapeltown hold most of the island's activity. Geokaun and the Valentia Lighthouse are among the landmarks in the immediate area, and Reenard sits just across the water. For visitors touring this part of Ireland, Southern Sun offers a base with a 4.7 rating from 31 reviews behind it.
