Loved the large window feature in the room where we could have a coffee in bed while watching the stillness and beautiful nature outside. The room is large and spacious. We had complimentary yoghurt, milk and cereals which was a lovely treat.

Loved the location, the food (dinner and breakfast, both excellent) and the friendly staff. The room was lovely, the bed v comfortable and we loved being able to hear and see the sea.

This is an excellent Bed and Breakfast accommodation providing an apartment and individual rooms as well. It has been finished in highest standard and is a credit to the owners. They couldn't do enough for us and the breakfast is second to none well done...

    The location is superb, close to Portmagee for Skellibg trips and the local restaurants. It is beautifully quiet and self contained(no adjoining rooms so no other guests) and on a clear night you can see the stars. Safe and secure with plenty of parking. Both the room and bathroom are newly decorated so everything is very fresh, having a fridge is a nice touch. Declan the host was super helpful and his food recommendations were spot on. Looking forward to going back.

    What an absolute gem of a place!! Marie and her family were so lovely, and nothing was too much trouble. Their home is warm and inviting, our bedroom and bathroom were spotless and very comfortable. There was a fantastic selection for breakfast; I highly recommend the pancakes with fresh fruit!!! Marie and her mum are absolutely charming and so full of positive energy, we were sorry to leave, and can’t wait to return again some day.

    The location is magical! You can walk to St. Brenden's Well. The hostess is delightful, and made a delicious breakfast! We had one of the best dinners we have ever had at The Moorings Guesthouse & Seafood Restaurant @ The Bridge Bar in Portmagee . . . just a short drive from the B&B, and recommended by your hostess.
