The Watch House
About
The Watch House in Valentia Island is a café on The Seafront, Knightstown, Valentia Island, Co. Kerry, V23 C523, Ireland. It faces the water in Knightstown, the island's main village, with Chapeltown, Valentia Lighthouse, Geokaun and Reenard elsewhere on and around Valentia.
As a café, The Watch House serves drinks and light food in a seafront setting, and it is known for its position looking out over the harbour. Visitors have given it a 4.8 out of 5 average from 105 reviews, one of the strongest records on the island. Its online shop sits at http://watch-house-foods.sumupstore.com/.
First-time visitors should expect a compact, casual stop rather than a full restaurant, with the seafront location doing much of the work. Knightstown is the island's main village, so the café is an easy first or last stop on the island.
Seafood dominates island food: crab, lobster, mussels and oysters landed by small inshore boats, which suits a coastal café stop. The North Atlantic Drift keeps Irish islands mild in winter, so snow is rare and short-lived, and the shoulder months stay comfortable. Grey seals, basking sharks in summer and seabirds such as puffins and gannets surround Irish islands, and Skellig Michael off County Kerry is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with early Christian monastic remains.
