1. Our Double Room with Private Bathroom was clean, modern, and very spacious, with plenty of room for two people and their luggage. It was clear that the owner takes great care of the property. 2. Breakfast was included in the room rate, with a good variety of food options available. 3. Complimentary WiFi was provided. 4. Toiletries were supplied in the bathroom + hair dryer. 5. Guests had access to tea, coffee, and a small fridge in the dining area. 6. B&B is conveniently located - just a short drive into town and only 2 km from the Kerry Cliffs.

1. The room was located right next to the entrance and faced the car park, which affected privacy—we had to keep the curtains closed. 2. The soundproofing could be improved, as we could clearly hear footsteps from the room above late into the night, as well as snoring.

The rooms were comfortable and the location was very convenient for catching a boat tour of skellig in the morning.

Had some mildly odd interactions with the staff. They offered a (paid) laundry service, which we really appreciated! We had multiple people traveling and asked to have the laundry done in three separate batches (one for each traveling party), happy to pay extra, but received it all back in one big mix. Not a huge deal but a bit inconvenient. I was traveling with a special pillow for my neck, which we left accidentally. The property didn't notify us that they had found it, I realized it was missing when we got back to the car after our tour. We returned to pick it up and found they had just put it in their shed. It had debris on it from (presumably) just being tossed on a dirty shelf. Odd.

The rooms were impeccably neat, and the cottage itself was exceptionally clean, making our stay very comfortable. While breakfast was not included in the price, having it as part of the package would have made the experience absolutely perfect. The cottage’s location, just a short distance from Portmagee town center, was superb and added great convenience to our stay. Overall, a wonderful experience!

Our stay was wonderful, and we truly appreciated the hospitality and overall experience. However, it would be even better if breakfast were included across all price ranges. Additionally, having easily accessible water refill stations would be a great convenience for guests looking to refill their bottles. Thank you for a pleasant stay!

Really cozy place with a love for small details, comfortable and spacious room. Breakfast option comes with a great price, even homemade scones are there. Besides, even without breakfast there is coffee. Quiet spot a bit outside the village center, about 10 minutes of walking and you’re there.

If you live downstairs, you will hear the upstairs neighbours quite loudly, wooden floors are unforgiving here. Doors are also not really soundproof, so a loudly coughing neighbour kept us awake for quite some time.

What can I say about this gorgeous little place Andy has created in Portmagee. It is cozy, comfortable, inviting and just picture perfect. Andy has done an amazing job with his B&B from the moment you are greeted at the door till the time you leave it is home. Andy was an absolute gem and even did my laundry for me at a small fee it was washed, dried and folded neatly and put back in my laundry bag ready for me the next morning. Breakfast was lovely and the atmosphere of the Seagull Cottage is so like home. I can not recommend this place highly enough. Do yourself a favour and stay at Seagull Cottage cause you will not regret it. I loved my stay, and Andy even listened to my griping of the not so good drivers that get around Ireland. You are a gem Andy thanks again for my amazing stay ❤️ everything is just so cozy and comfy well done it's a credit to you👌🏻👍😘

Absolutely nothing it was perfect 🥰

Absolutely fantastic stay at Seagull Cottage B&B in Portmagee! We arrived a day before our trip to Skellig Michael and couldn't have been more pleased with our choice. The hosts were incredibly friendly and accommodating, even allowing us to leave our car in their yard while we were on the trip, despite having checked out early in the morning.The room was impeccably clean, with every detail thoughtfully considered. We were especially delighted by a personalized stone with my name and a short message in the room, a truly heartwarming touch. The surroundings were beautiful. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting the area.

This is a modern, clean and well presented B&B. The room and ensuite facilities were clean and fresh. We chose to pay the owner direct for breakfast - much cheaper than buying it through booking.com. The breakfast was simple but more than adequate. Based upon the price we paid it represented good value for money. The location just out of town is fine - close enough to town but away from any potential noise. Seagull Cottage sits in close proximity to many tourist attractions, hence our 2-night stay here. In fact there is enough to do to have stayed 3 nights. Kerry Cliffs, Valentia Island and all of its offerings, boat trips to the Skelligs, the Skellig experience, St Finians Bay, Skellig Chocolate are all nearby.

Whilst tea/coffee was readily available in the dining room, we would have liked the facilities in our room.

We were able to order the continental breakfast at the last minute as I'd forgotton when booking. It was delicious and generous with homemade granola bars, fruit, yogurt, cereal, breads etc. The location was perfect for Valentia Island and convenient after the Skellig Island excursion.

There might have been an issue with noise but after hearing other guests in the hall, it was quiet when they were in their rooms

This property was just what we needed after long days on our Ireland road trip. We booked two rooms - one of which had an accessible bathroom that was perfect for my daughter in a wheelchair. They have thought of everything in this regard which was much appreciated. We loved chatting to our hosts and could have easily spent days here. The place is easy to find and Portmagee is a short drive away (nice pub with good food!). The area is absolutely beautiful.

Nothing - if you need a bnb in this area don’t hesitate to book

The property was newly remodeled and it’s minimalistic decor made it bright and cheery. The breakfast was the best of the B&Bs we stayed at - many options, homemade treats, and individual French press coffee. So many thoughtful details throughout. We were road weary and thought the walk into town would be hard but it was pleasant and only 10-15 minutes. There were cows and sheep grazing, a stream, and lots of wildflowers. We had the best night's sleep of any of the B&Bs. The layout has the guest rooms on the first floor so we don't even know if there was air conditioning because having the windows open in early June was pleasant and comfortable. The hosts were very friendly. We would definitely stay there again.
