Centrally located to town, actually in town, and the staff was just terrific. Nice stop at halfway point on the Ring of Kerry. Central store right at the back of the hotel and ice cream shop also. Breakfast was by order, limited but not a buffet. There is a grass courtyard outside with tables and chairs where you can order food and drinks just about all day long, the view is of the ocean and just stunning. The place gets hopping on the weekends so go early if you want outside table. The food is exceptional and plentiful. Calamari is just right. The staff works hard all day long with the tables inside and out, making sure everyone is getting what they want. Kudos to the Staff. Hit the Fishermans Bar for a nightcap, staff friendly and great fun.

I can’t remember when was the last time I had such an outstanding experience with an accommodation. Christelle and Emmanuel have a comfortable, beautifully decorated house. Their attention to detail is obvious everywhere you look at: from the blankets they handed us when we were in the front yard, to the cutlery we used, you can tell that everything was so carefully chosen. Breakfast was delicious, and included everything you can wish for: eggs cooked however you like, toasts, bacon, tomatoes “provençal”, homemade muffins and cake, and much more. The surroundings are beautiful and the front yard is so peaceful and quiet, you can only hear the birds chirping. Christelle and Emmanuel made sure to make our experience special, and I’m sure all guests feel the same way. Can’t recommend their house enough!

We liked everything about the property—location, facilities, parking, comfort, etc. But the best part of our stay was meeting Marie! She is very kind, friendly and warm. She even made sure we had snacks and breakfast items available in the room. We highly recommend staying at Skellig View Bluebell Rose & Kerry Cliffs and hope to return again ourselves. Delightful stay!

I particularly enjoyed our host Marie who is exceptionally helpful, warm, and welcoming. She even special-delivered baked treats on Portmagee's 'muffin day'. The location is also wonderful and is in immediate proximity to the must-see sight of Kerry Cliffs.

    The main village is centred around the church and Tigh Rosie’s where the atmosphere is lovely to enjoy a drink, as well as a traditional music session on Tuesday nights. Down near the bay and beach are great facilities for families with toilets, cafe Cois trà (just remember it’s closed Monday/Tuesday) and don’t forget to call in on Sunday for the craft fair. Cable O’Learys is a lovely bar that also serves food with amazing views of the bay and brilliant for families with teenager’s with snooker tables , dart boards.

    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

    The Old Schoolhouse is a wonderful place. Dominick is so welcoming and knowledgeable about the locality. He allowed guests bring take away food back to eat it for their dinner. The vibe is very cool, almost like a hostel. I will definitely like to stay here again.
