Caroline went out of her way to help our stay
Le logement correspond parfaitement à la description, il est spacieux et très propre !
Rien.
Lovely appartment,well equiped to cook and very comfortableto sleep. . Our host was so sympatic and spent time to show us the best places to be visited. Very well located also between the port of Portmagee, and Caherseven.
Ein Airfryer und eine Waschmaschine sind vorhanden. Nette Vermieterin.
Scharfe Messer haben gefehlt.
It is beautiful and clean
Except in the bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms, there were no curtains, supposedly because the cottage runs on light solar energy. But that means everybody looks right in the cottage when they pass to park in the back. That was one of the reasons we decided not to stay We asked if it was possible to get a refund, it wasn't because the invoice was already booked in the accountant books, which we respected. But I have asked, both directly and through booking.com several times for the invoice - since I travelled for business - and never got a response. I do not need the refund, I understand the time to cancel was too late, but I do deserve to get an invoice for the amount paid.
La casa es perfecta, muy bien equipada, tiene de todo lo necesario, muy cómoda y limpia. Cada habitación tiene su propio baño. La anfitriona muy amable y nos recomendó todo que visitar en la zona y como organizar mejor la estancia.
Todo genial
Kieran and Caroline were really friendly hosts. There was milk and porridge for breakfast with brioche buns and biscuits for a cup of tea. Very clean and comfortable. Had a really nice stay, would highly recommend.
Loved the location and our room. Our gorgeous host was very accomodating. It was about 5kms from Portmagee and very quiet. It was like home away from home. Well equipped kitchen and very comfy beds. Lovely ensuite with plenty of toiletries to select if needed.
Nothing of note
The double bed was the comfiest bed ever, like sleeping on a cloud
Excellent location to travel around the Ring of Kerry
Great place if you're going to Skellig Michael. Very friendly host.
The place was lovely, clean and so peacefully quiet and comfortable! Short trip to Portmagee where loads of tours leave from to go to the Skelligs. The host was also very kind and showed us many places to go to in a map. It is perfect for a short stay and exploring around.
The only thing I did not like was that the shower drain was clogged, we arrived late from all the driving and going around and the whole thing was flooding while taking the shower so we had to keep turning it off and waiting for the water to drain. Not the type of stuff you'd want to deal with on a stay after a long day. I did not call the host as it was already late so we just dealt with the best we could.
Location was good, close to town . The host was lovely. There was a nice big window for viewing outside.
No comment
Property was exceptionally clean and well furnished.Host was extremely friendly and helpful. Location was very peaceful. Would definitely stay here again!
That we couldn't stay longer.
BBQ, patogi vieta iš kurios galima pasiekti Kerio žiedą iš visų pusių, labai paslaugi šeimininkė. Pasiūlė pereiti į didesnį namelį kai šis tik atsilaisvino. Mes atsisakėme tik dėl to, kad nesukelti papildomų rūpesčių ir mums buvo labai gerai nakvoti tam pačiam kambaryje.

Super vriendelijke enthousiaste mensen!
Très bon accueil de Caroline. Chambre spacieuse et confortable. Très belle vue de la cuisine pour prendre le petit-déjeuner.
Spacious and very comfortable house, and very clean. Conveniently located to visit Portmagee and Valentia Island, Ballinskelligs area, and Ring of Kerry.
Unkompliziert und sehr freundlich.
Klospühlung
Proprietari molto cortesi e l'appartamento era molto pulito, con bagno e doccia spaziosi
Very modern, clean, comfy altogether. Very good location in between Portmagee and Cahersiveen. Fantastic beds and up-to-date bathroom and kitchen facilities.
Can’t think of anything.
Cómodo, amplio, luminoso y súper bien equipado. Ubicación ideal para recorrer el Anillo de Skelligs. Dueños super atentos. Fantástico.
Bellissima la dependance
Nel bagno non c'è il riscaldamento
The house was very nice, exactly as in the pictures. The location was great for doing the Ring of Kerry in 2 days. Caroline was very welcoming and gave us great tips. The house was warm and very comfy—definitely a good place to stay.
Loved the 2 bedroom house and all the facilities
There wasn’t anything I didn’t like.
Stay Skellig exceeded my expectations. ( and our group is picky). Stellar host provided clean, comfortable, well appointed accommodation. Great experience. Book with confidence! Thanks Stay Skellig!
Zero criticism. Hosts have gone above and beyond to make our stay wonderful!
Everything!!!!! And the host's kindness!
Host molto disponibile e gentile, ha lasciato a disposizione il necessario per fare la colazione.
Shower a little small and sofa bed not comfortable I know there was a bed in the bedroom room but my son who was 18 wanted a little privacy. Also the bedside cabinet was to for down the bed and my husband kept knocking is leg on it.
Gastgeberin war sehr bemüht und freundlich. Hatte uns angeboten Frühstück einzukaufen. Wirklich sehr hilfsbereit. Erhielten wertvolle Tips zu Sehenswürdigkeiten rund um Portmagee.
Super comfy beds with the most snuggly feather duvets and very fluffy towels. Beautiful views from the lounge area. Very warm and cosy. A dolce gusto coffee machine was a real treat
Very nice host . She helped us find another B&B when our reservation for the next night was canceled. 😊

Everything was great , warm and very confortable
La casa si trova in una posizione fantastica. È pulita e accogliente. La proprietaria gentilissima e premurosa, ti accoglie con simpatia e ti regala consigli preziosi per visitare la zona. Consigliatissimo
Lovely host that accommodated us last minute. Good cooking facilities and we were able to cook a meal pretty late at night.
Nothing really, but a little out of Portmagee so we didn’t end up going to a restaurant that night which would’ve been nice.
L'accueil de Carolina Maison moderne bien équipée
Rien
Prime location to portmagee 9mins drive
Location, room design, quality furniture, appliances, cleanliness. All are of the highest standards.
Propriétaires très gentils, bienveillants et flexibles sur les horaires Très propre, et avec tout le matériel de toilette à disposition (même du dentifrice et des parfums) Céréales, pains, condiments… à disposition dans les placards, ainsi que beurre, lait et confiture dans le frigo. A la campagne au calme A 7 min en voiture de la ville Portmagee
Le matelas du canapé est très fin. Pour 1 nuit, c’est ok mais plus…
lovely hosts, large open plan kitchen and lounge area with comfortable bedrooms
Our host Caroline was very helpful. The comfort is outstanding. The Kerry and the Skelling ring is wonderful. We loved our stay.
The immediate surrounds are a little bit below the expectations. But it is not disturbing at all.
The host greeted us warmly on arrival, we got to meet her sweet little dog and chat for a bit. She gave us great tips that helped our trip and the place was very clean and comfortable. She even got us some wonderful soda bread which we devoured. The bedding was soft and comfortable. We loved having the living room to stretch out and kitchen. 10/10 would stay again.
No complaints, we would stay again. We were unlucky to arrive right after previous guests broke her washer. It would have been so nice to do a load of laundry mid-trip, but it was not her fault at all and I'm sure it will be working again soon enough.
Stay Skelligs is an extraordinary place. The apartment is very spacious, clean and cozy. The kitchen is well-equipped. The bathroom is stocked with toiletries. There are plenty of books and games, and a washing machine is also available. Portmagee town center is about a 10-minute drive away. I highly recommend this place.
Comfy and clean, enough room for everyone.
Liked it all. It’s a little further out of Portmagee than I realised, but easy with a car.
Owner lives in separate house next door, super easy to access and check in. 4-5 miles from Portmagee. Great place if you're doing the Skellig Michael tour.
Nice welcome. Good value and well located.
Nothing really.
The apartment was beautiful. It was comfortable , spacious and had everything that you could possibly need. It was quiet and there were lovely views of the Kerry countryside from the apartment. Caroline was helpful and friendly and gave us some tips on where to visit and good local restaurants. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting Portmaguee and the surrounding areas.
Spotlessly clean, cute, and very comfortable apartment. Had everything required for our stay. The beds were super comfortable . It was very quiet and peaceful.
I had a wonderful stay at this property! Everything was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location was perfect—close to everything I needed, yet peaceful and quiet for a good night's rest. The host was responsive and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a smooth, stress-free stay!
Just a minor note—hand soap in the bathroom would’ve been appreciated.
Host was very generous and excellent in being flexible. House was very clean.

I liked everything in this well designed property, It had a very nice kitchen. Lots of equipment in the kitchen. Plenty room to park my car. We had a great night's sleep as it was nice to go to bed knowing the car is in a very safe location. I could only stay there one night but I will be back for a longer stay.
I liked everything.
The house was gorgeous and very clean. Every bedroom had an own bathroom. Both bedrooms and the big kitchen were absolutely clean when we arrived. The Check-In was easy and possible at every time because of a key box at the house. The location of the house is perfect to get shortly to Portmagee or the Kerry Cliffs but also to Cahersiveen. It’s just about 8 to 10 minutes by car. Also Derrynane is just about a 30 minutes drive. The hosts were absolutely lovely people who did everything to get our stay as comfortable as possible. We would come back at every time.

Highly recommend. Superb accommodation less than 10 mins drive from either Portmagee or Cahersiveen. Very clean & modern facilities. Caroline & Kieran were the most fantastic hosts, so welcoming. They gave us lots of recommendations to make the most of our weekend trip. They couldn’t have been more accommodating. We will definitely return.
Caroline was a wonderful hands-on host. She met us just after we arrived on the property & was very friendly. She gave us directions for our next day's destinations, suggestions for where to eat out & what not to miss along the road. She also brought us over some milk for our cereal & a nightcap! The house was modern, bright and well-appointed.
Location easy to find and had ample parking. Great view of the surrounding hillside with little porch seating areas. Clean comfy showers with skylights; in all a bright and cheerful place. Coffee easy to use and host provided milk and eggs which was a nice touch. They made the place feel like home.
Nothing. Really. We understand clothes dryers are not common so hung our things outside to dry.
Very helpful and kind host. Spacios rooms, comfortable beds, well equiped kitchen are waiting for the guests.

Stay Skelligs was a great location! Caroline and Kieran were fantastic hosts. Caroline met us just as we arrived and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay, as well as giving some recommendations for the local area. Would highly recommend their apartment for a stay in the area
Nothing, everything was great!
Location
Check in at earliest being 5pm in the evening on a 2 night stay is very late & limiting when departure is expected to be between 8-10am on day of departure. Very rushed for the price, would make me somewhat reluctant to return. But for that fact, everything else about the property was lovely & well thought out. Thank you.
Caroline and Kieren are very friendly and helpful who ensured that we had a great stay
All was great
Clean and neat . Very nice and helpful lady.
Couch was to low.
The property has 2 bedrooms, each with it's own bathroom, and a sitting room with fully equipped kitchen. It was very comfortable for our family of 4. So peaceful and beautiful surroundings. The place was spotless on arrival and Caroline was very responsive to our messages and gave us great tips for what to visit on our drive around the ring of Kerry. We stayed here 2 nights to go to Skellig Michael so we did not cook. Drive to Portmagee marina is only 10 minutes.
Beautiful spacious place. The owner was kind and fast to help us. Lots of pretty hiking trails nearby.
