-The House is situated just off "Waterfield Centre", half a mile from the shops the pubs and the bay! Don't be too excited with centre as it is a small town! We were expecting many more people as it was the weekend of WTF, multiples trails in the countryside! Was lovely, very local and friendly!
The house is semi detached, big-a bit too big as it is quite empty especially the kitchen!
At the end, it is functional but not cozy!
Three bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a mud room. A small Garden (4x8 m) with three comfy chairs and a wooden table to picnic. Not a lot of privacy but very well appreciated because it was very sunny and the garden is full south so sun from morning to evening!
The bedrooms where cute and welcoming. Good Beds though on the short side lengthwise (we are not very large people).
THere is a Very good restaurant of fresh pasta and seafood called oh MaryLou, I where you can also do takeaway. The pub "The lobster" was also great for fish and chips and burgers.
The location is excellent!
Very quiet, night and day.
THe bay was very welcome. Beach of sand and peables. THe local authority encourages to pick up 3 pieces of plastic for home recycling to keep the beach nice and clean. I loved it!
I did it but did find only small fragments. It works!

So much to see of historic nature and the beauty of the landscape breathtaking, from the Skelligs to cliff walks to the beauty of the blue flag beaches in the area. Food lovers paradise. Favourite restaurant is Driftwood, just 10 minute drive from Ballinskelligs. Cois Trá Café with a stroll down to the beach a must.

The staff and guests were very open an hospitable in the Hostel before, during and after the trip. We were disappointed not to get to the islands because of the weather but there was so much else to se and do in the area that we had plenty of alternatives. There was terrific scenery to see no matter what road we took for a walk in the area and we left knowing we needed to stay a lot longer ! The beach café close by was a novel experience for us.

A beautifully quiet village with a lovely safe beach for swimming, and other watersports, lots of great walks, and has a beautiful backdrop of mountains. It has one small shop only and one pub. There is an arts centre with coffee shop but not open consistently. It's a few miles to Cahirciveen or Waterville to find restaurants and theres a Supervalue supermarket in Cahirciveen. The skies at night are magnificent due to lack of light pollution

There is a lot to see, so get on your bike and explore the entire area. When you finished biking go for a hot Chocolate at the chocolate factory. Otherwise just chill and have a good rest. There is a good bit of history in the area, you can also connect with something positive and beautiful on the spiritual side!

Good beach walk, ruined abbey to visit (free), Sunday morning craft and food market. Pub had gone downhill since last visit and was not yet doing food. Nor were the take away places opposite open in mid-June. There is one well equipped shop, but it closed around 6pm and one cafe that I did not get a chance to visit. A place for people who like the simple life!
We were made to feel at home from the very beginning of our stay. The turf fire was set and ready to be lit and there was a lovely loaf of homemade brown bread in the bread bin. We were able to BBQ in the shed in the evenings, which was great in rainy weather. The WiFi signal was excellent, and the surroundings are peaceful, quiet, and very safe! The location is a 10 minute drive from Portmagee, and the comfy bed welcomed us every night on our return from sightseeing. We would love to stay again if visiting the area.
Setting is beautiful and peaceful. The views from the sunroom are spectacular of the Irish countryside and you can see St. Finian's Bay and Skellig Michael. Great skellig ring location. We got to help herd sheep and watch shearing! Host Michael was very quick to respond to our requests and went above and beyond to resolve minor problems. The house is well equipped and accommodated 5 adults well. The wood burning stove worked well and was pleasant to use when the Summer Irish weather turned cooler.
Location is very good, quite close to the Ballinskelligs beach and easy distance to Waterville, Finian's Bay, Cahirciveen, and Port Magee. You have the whole cottage to yourself and the upstairs rooms are very big, full bathrooms upstairs and downstairs (downstairs is en suite in the third bedroom). Full kitchen and good size common area. Four cottages with a shared driveway area our front, plenty parking. Someone did come by the day after arrival to check in and see did we need anything.
Beautiful contemporary B&B with gorgeous woodwork and tile throughout. The owners, Mary and Christie were warm and friendly. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. Short walk to the beautiful beach and historic ruins. We enjoyed a relaxing two evenings here as we toured the Ring of Kerry. Don't miss a tour of Skellig Michael (we left from nearby Portmagee marina).
Highly recommend Seaside B&B and hope to return one day. Thank you Mary & Christie!
Location on the Ring of Kerry for us was good in respect of travelling half way round, but to get to somewhere to get an evening meal was some distance away.
The breakfast was good and tasty, I had an Irish breakfast and my wife had the pancakes and fruit which were very good.
The beds were comfortable which for us is important.
The host Dom was friendly and was a good host.
This is a fantastic location very close to a pretty beach, where it's safe to swim. Lots of great scenery and if into hiking would recommend Bollus Head close by. It's only a short drive to nearest towns and supermarket, restaurants etc. The staff were fantastic, the hostel is really well equipped and kept really clean.
The kitchen had room for three people to cook simultaneously, and amenities to accommodate (pans, pots, flatware, dinnerware). The dining area was on the small side, but large enough to have four or five families (in normal times). Pleasant decor, decent quality as well. Good hostel setup.
Fantastic house with a home from home feel and had absolutely everything you would need. Plenty of space and a beautiful view of ballinskelligs Bay. The owners were more than accommodating to us. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a break down in Ballinskelligs
Kitchen have everything what you need to prepare your food, dinning room is nice ,clean. Bathroom very clean, bedroom big enaufe, materaces bit old. Garden nice for kids running around. First time in hostel with kids but we comming home with good memories. Thank you.
The owner was amazing! Nice room, excellent breakfast and beautiful surroundings in the Ring of Kerry. Ask the owner where you should visit and he'll give you his recommendations. We followed his itinerary and were not disappointed.
Hospitality! This place was absolutely amazing the staff was so friendly and v welcoming to my family of 5. Breakfast was amazing, and the room was spacious. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Kerry or Skeligs.
The house was very spacious especially the living room combined kitchen. The views from the house were absolutely gorgeous. Lots of room for a big family and we loved the area. The beach is very close by.
The hosts were wonderful and the location was great for our purpose--to have something nearby to Portmagee for our trip to the Skelligs. The breakfast was great and the place had a cozy atmosphere.
Homemade bread made for our arrival, fireplace on, comfortable room and bed (warm blanket), own space to eat/cook, very friendly host, great location to explore the Ring of Kerry.
Great location, just a few minutes walk from the beach. Mary was a wonderful host, helped us in organizing taxis for dinner. Very clean comfortable rooms.
