Everything, the hotel was great, with an excellent staff. Great restaurant, again with a wonderful staff. We had dinner and breakfast, both were excellent, their chef knows what he or she is doing.

The Ferry Boat enjoys a location in Portmagee, a 8-minute walk from Skellig Experience Centre and 10 miles from O'Connell Memorial Church.

Good place to stay for a stop in Portmagee. The rooms are on the smaller side and don't leave any space for extra luggage or movement around the room. Public free parking is not to far.

The Old Cable Historic House is a Designated Milestone Heritage Site tracing its origins to The First Transatlantic Telegraph Cable from Ireland to the USA in 1866.

The property was situated in a peaceful, convenient location in Waterville, a short walk down to the quaint village and beautiful beach. Our room was very comfortable and very clean. The hosts, Alan and Margaret are super friendly and informative. Alan made the best breakfast and provided endless coffee and tea. Their Seafood restaurant serves excellent dinner meals, as well. The Wi-fi was always available with a strong signal.

Overlooking Dingle Bay, midway between Glenbeigh and Cahirciveen, Caitin's is a traditional old-style pub with guest accommodations. Access to the Kerry Way walking route runs alongside Caitin's.

The view was stunning you didn’t even notice the road. The staff was very helpful and dinner was delicious. Breakfast was continental and self serve but good.

    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.
