Notes
A booking is not confirmed until the deposit of 50% ( or payment in full ) has been received along with a completed reservation form. Final payment 10 weeks before arrival.Always ask for prices. We also can help with houses for rent on long term. The original MacKens farmhouse was built in 1885 and was a single storey thatch cottage, with outbuildings for the farm animals. The Foleys lived in the house until the last of this family Michael (affectionately called Macken) Foley died in 1980.The thatch roof was taken off in the 1950's and the house was raised to 2 storeys with the same stone walls as the original. The roof was clad with slates from the nearby quarry on Valentia Island. A large extension was added to the rear of the house in 1995, which now houses the kitchen/dining room, utility room and bathroom. Many of the original features of the house remain - the timber beams still exposed, the original stone fireplace as well as the hearth timber over the fireplace, which was a ship's timber salvaged from the sea. The farmhouse stands on a working farm and is just 2 miles from Portmagee Village.
