Kate
Lovely property with continental breakfast. Andy and his family made us very welcome. Our Classic Family room was perfect and spacious.
Andy communicated promptly and gave clear instructions on where to locate our key and room.
Quiet location just a few minutes’ drive from the quay in Portmagee. Would totally recommend Seagull Cottage.

Jacinta
Lovely stay, place was so beautiful and clean, well kept and loved the little touches like the homemade scones and blackboard with the weather. Great location would highly recommend
Steve
Our one night stay at Seagull cottage went really well. The host sent us an email explaining very well how to self check-in even though the owners were there and gave us some hints about where to eat in the nice little town of Portmagee.
The room was very clean and the breakfast was really good for only €7 a person.
The only thing I would suggest to the owners would be to have some carpets in the rooms upstairs to help with the sound proofing since we could hear the people walking around quite a bit when it was time to fall a sleep.
My wife and I recommend Seagull cottage to all! Thank you to Andy and his family!

Very good breakfast, parking is pretty narrow when your in number 3. Really safe and calm environnement.
Andy
Excellent breakfast. Easy check in. Comfortable, clean room with most things you would need.
We experienced some noise from the room above us or next to us that detracted somewhat

Clean, friendly, and accommodating. A bit of a walk to town centre but perfect if you have a vehicle

Almost new property, very nice room, very friendly and helpful staff, elaborate sumptuous continental breakfast available at extra cost, onsite parking, fast internet.

Charles
Room was clean, parking was easy and available. Didn’t pay for the breakfast so didn’t see what was available. The thing that could have been better was the mattress.
Amy
The Seagull cottage was a great find. It was clean, bright rooms and beautiful scenery. We stayed there in order to go to Skelling Micheal. Unfortunately our trip was cancelled due to weather but we were able to see Valentia Island instead. We intend to book again and hope our Skelling Micheal trip is a go. Thank you Andrew!
Stephanie
Great experience and location! Close location to the Kerry Cliffs and easy walk into town to eat. Would definitely go back!
Christopher
Easy check-in and check-out process. A nice place to stay if you’re around for a night or 2 in county Kerry or in the southwest of Ireland.
Sally
Lovely cottage B&B. Clean and well maintained. Great location in the wild cliffs.
Bruce
It was wonderful to be hosted at this exceptional B&B with 5 star breakfast. Best value in the area and excellent accommodation. Thanks for having us.
Jon
Everything was lovely EXCEPT the shower malfunctioned and no water would come out. One of us used the shower the night we checked in but neither of us was able to make it work the next morning.
Laura
Breakfast was more than expected, for Continental. Was thinking it was near the water and but it was not.
CHRISTOPHER
Thank you Andy and your spouse for such an enchanted place! The room we had was immaculately clean and the bed was very comfortable. The location of the property in the Ring of Kerry was in proximity of the sea and a 5 minute drive to the Cliffs of Kerry, which is a must see in Ireland. Parking was plenty and the breakfast was nice. My wife and I just stayed 1 night as we were traveling to several other locations, but I would definitely stay there again and recommend the Seagull Cottage if you're travelling around the Ring of Kerry. It was a great midway point for our travels starting in Cork and finishing in Galway. The town has a nice local bar and seafood restaurant within a 10 minute walk from the place. Thanks again!
Alicia
Cute little bed and breakfast in small little fishing town. Only about 15 minutes over from larger town.
kevin
room was clean, it was convenient, and the people running it were very friendly. would highly recommend
Charlie
The breakfast was amazing!
Andrew
A thoughtfully run and very comfortable B&B. A little bit of a hike to town, on a narrow country lane -- so walking at night wasn't a good option. The Continental breakfast with French press coffee was a nice touch.
J
Lovely room, quiet location, onsite parking. We were a bit disappointed with not having a kettle in the room to make tea. We were able to use the kitchen but if awake in the night we would be reluctant to use it for fear of disturbing the other residents.
Diana
The rooms were clean and check in was easy. A quick drive to the docks so that we could do our Skellig Michael tour. Parking on site was free.
Heather
The breakfast was quite good and the owner was a lovely lady to visit with and gave helpful suggestions about local activities
Janice
This was a nice stay in the country. Host was very nice and attentive. Small but quaint little room. Could have used a small chair to sit in and was quite crowded in the breakfast room. Maybe schedule times to attend would help. All in all a beautiful area. Was able to hike up to the majestic cliffs by a little car tide away.
Michael
Andy the host was fantastic. Everything was superb!!
Amanda
Wonderful stay! Thank you Andy!
Michael

Lovely place with an amazing breakfast. Close to town
Paige
Great breakfast before our hike! Excellent accommodation! Comfy bed and beautiful views. Would highly recommend!
Brian
This place is an excellent choice for people planning to make the trip to Skellig Michael. Simple but meets your needs. The owner was flexible in our arrival which was most helpful. The area is quiet and peaceful. We could tell that the walls were a bit thin and could hear other guests, however most people made an effort to be respectful. Breakfast serve-yourself choices were also simple but very good. Great option and value for the area. I would happily stay there again.
Jessica
It was an amazing place to stay, wonderful continental breakfast with high quality meats, cereals, homemade food, jams, and wonderful tea and coffee. Would definitely come back!
MaryBeth
Our stay at Seagull Cottage B & B was very nice. Loved the beautiful and peaceful scenery. We had an amazing breakfast consisting of Belgian waffles, homemade granola bars, French-pressed coffee!
Steven
A perfect stay!
Clean, comfortable, and inviting - we couldn’t have asked for a better stay!
annemarie
Very well kept B&B in a beautiful location. Perfect stop while on our travels. Only 1-2km to Portmagee for dinner.
Brenda
The Seagull Cottage was so quaint and clean and in such a great location! The owners were very easy to communicate with and friendly. Plenty of parking out front of the cottage which was situated in a rural farm area, sheep all around and green rolling hills. A 10 minute walk to the tiny town of Port Magee, it's tiny, but all the people are super friendly, with a cute local pub (I would recommend the seafood chowder) and an excellent restaurant for dinner...I had the Guiness Irish stew, was delicious. There is also a waterfront restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. From this area you can take a boat to Skellig Michael, two land masses, one housing a plethora of birds and the other a monastery that has 500? stairs to walk up (depending on the season), well worth the trip. Also near the Cottage was the Cliffs of Kerry, absolutely stunning!! a must do. I loved the feel and vibe of the Seagull cottage, and Port Magee, wished I could have stayed longer. The property is really well looked after and the breakfast in the breakfast room was wonderful, was nice to talk to people and see what they were doing for the day or had done to recommend. There was a great variety of breakfast options and the mellow music was a really nice touch. I particularly enjoyed the French presses for morning coffee :), thank you. Also, being a huge IKEA fan I loved all the IKEA touches. I would highly recommend The Seagull cottage and Port Magee for a relaxed, quiet place to stay. Well done!
Bruce
Room was cold, sparsely furnished. Staff was friendly. Room was small. Water never got hot

Ericka
Excellent accommodations. Excellent host. Highly recommend.
Kelly
Super comfortable beds. Plenty of room. Quiet and immaculately clean. It was a nice evening's rest after a busy day.
Anne
We stayed in Portmagee for our booked tour to Skellig Michael (which was fabulous!). Andy welcomed us to Sea Gull cottage and made us feel right at home. Plenty of parking available. There are three local restaurants available in Portmagee and we ate at The Moorings both nights (make reservations as is very popular) and had tea at the Skellig Restaurant, both of which were great. Unfortunately, the sounds from the room above us, our first night at the cottage, were quite loud, but with earplugs, ok. The continental breakfast each morning was great with several choices, most amazing was Andy's homemade granola. We very much enjoyed our visit. Andy was a great host, welcoming and knowledgeable. The room we stayed in, could use some shelves in the bathroom for leaving toiletry bags etc... but otherwise, it was a really lovely room.
Darin
Nice quiet location, short drive to Portmagee & other Kerry attractions.
Christopher

BEAUTIFUL Gateway to the Skelligs!
What an absolute STUNNING location! Check in was simple, rooms were clean, large and modern. Side note: location is an escape from the world, a such, there are no TV’s in the rooms. Come here to unplug, decompress ands ENJOY the serenity of Portmagee!
A short, 1-mile walk down the street takes you directly to awesome pubs and the docks! The owner Andy was kind and helpful. I HIGHLY recommend Seagull Cottage!

Wonderful breakfast! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The bed was confortable and the simplicity of the room made it relaxing. Wonderful
Bruno
Very nice B&B if you've plan to attend Skelling island tour. Really walkable from the pier to the B&B and very not far from the Kerry's cliffs also. Very clean and Andy is awesome. Very enjoyed my stay there.
Stacey
Can’t wait to come back!
This is the sweetest place that feels like it is literally at the end of the earth. 1.5 miles to kerry cliffs. Doesn’t feel like a tourist trap. Andy was incredibly accommodating. Great continental breakfast with homemade granola and scones.
Neeraj
Super nice staff. Kerry Cliff was a nice surprise.
Michelle O
Clean and comfortable, beautiful views. Walking distance to Portmagee and Cliffs of Kerry (~3/4 to 1 mile). Friendly, helpful staff.
Caroline
Great B&B in a very cute little village. The property is very beautiful and comfortable.
Joel
Well renovated
Tanya Marie
Cute place to stay. Owner friendly. Would stay again
Robin
We stayed here for one night before an early morning Skellig boat departure. Exceeded all expectations! The house and our room were quite nice, hosts very welcoming, comfortable beds, meticulously clean throughout, a simple and thoughtful attention to details. It was also a quick walk down the hill and back for a great pub dinner - and then an amazing continental breakfast in the morning. Just couldn’t have been better! Recommend!
Jennifer
It was close to town with excellent facilities
Cody
Clean and Comfortable
Steven
Great host... the best we had so far on our vacation.
Sheryl
Andy’s place Seagull Cottage in Portmagee was modern, clean, and cute. Check in and out was easy and Andy was very helpful. Continental breakfast was simple but good. Nearby Kerry Cliffs was awesome and so was the landing boat tour on Skellig Michael! We would definitely stay again.

THOMAS
Quiet, beautiful area. Comfortable room with modern furnishings. Our hosts were helpful and friendly.
Michael
Lovely room!
Mary
Seagull Cottage is perfectly located for viewing the Kerry Cliffs and accessing Skellig Michael. It's also just up the hill from PortMagee and the pub where the filming crew for Star Wars stayed. Our room was spotless and the beds very comfortable. Great find.
Pamela
The staff was not very good didn't explain anything. Continental breasfest was the worst we ever had the water for coffee and tea was cold. The orange juice warm. Would not go back.
Cassandra
It is a very lovely quiet and quaint stay. The food nearby is amazing and the whole journey of doing the Ring of Kerry and staying here was grand. Would recommend.
Verified traveler
Awesome stay!
The inn was fantastic. Clean and spacious! They are expanding the property so construction was going on, but had no issues or complaints. Check in was easy and the owner was very nice! Close to Portmaggee restaurants. And it is in the dark sky reserve so fantasic view of the starts at night! Would definitely stay again.
Larry
we felt so at home here at the Seagull Cottage, a relaxed setting , very close to the Cliffs of Kerry, as well as the ring of Kerry and so many other amazing sites. our breakfasts were so good and made for an amazing start to the day. Having our laundry done was an absolute and appreciated bonus here too.......... an awesome stay in a beautiful part of the world.
