Sea Villa

The facility is modern and spotless and it's obvious that the owners take great pride in their accomodation. We tumbled in at dinner time and having missed the dinner options offered, Mary made us a delicious Irish stew that hit the spot. One of our party did not feel well and Mary made her a toasted bagel and tea and John delivered it to her room. We were in the area specifically to locate the farm from which my grandmother emigrated in 1906. John was able to tell me a little about some relatives and connected us to the local pub to learn more. We were able to meet my father's first cousin and spend some time with her. Mary is an upbeat, friendly and witty person who makes you feel right at home. John is just as even-tempered and gregarious. They made us feel at home. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, with lots to choose from. The table settings were so charming. We would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Nothing. Everything was just right!

John and Mary's place is a real treasure! Our room was immaculately clean and extremely comfortable. It was bright with good storage space and lovely views. Mary and John are very welcoming and generous - they met us with great warmth and friendliness that made our trip even better. Our breakfast was delicious and kept us full until lunchtime. We will most certainly return and couldn't recommend this B and B more!!

Die Inhaberin ist eine Wucht. Selten eine so zuvorkommende Lady erlebt.

Los pequeños detalles

Comfortable b&b with great diner/breakfast and very friendly hosts

Nothing

A very well laid table , view of the tranquil landscape. A leisurely approach. Time to browse the menu which offered a choice of freshly cooked breakfast. Fresh fruit , juices and cereals , cooked and dry. A great variety of breads, teas and coffee.

A pity we could not stay longer

Absolutely everything. From the welcome, to the facilitates, the comfort and the luxury.

Nothing.

The owner! They are lovely! And the room is a luxury. Dinner was great and breakfast was perfect. The view! Everything is gorgeous!

Alles super, die Leute, die Unterkunft und das leckere Essen. Kann man nur empfehlen.

Mary und John sind fantastische Gastgeber. Man fühlt sich von Anfang an herzlich willkommen. Die Zimmer sind sauber und mit viel Liebe eingerichtet. Die Lage ist ruhig und wunderschön. Wir werden sehr gerne wieder kommen!

Wir waren leider nur eine Nacht. Das nächste Mal bleiben wir länger

Everything! From the welcome, the room, the food, the views and the hosts… it was wonderful!

Nothing at all.

Felt right at home, lovely hosts and fresh mussels for dinner!

I gestori sono molto gentili, disponibili e pronti ad aiutare, sempre molto attenti agli ospiti e alle loro esigenze. Buonissime le cozze prodotte dalla loro azienda!

Great quiet location and lovely room with patio door and seating.

Can’t think of anything.

Lovely hosts, great dinner, comfy beds, quiet night and excellent breakfast - spectacular sunset walk at the Pulleen loop in close distance. Who could ask for anything more from a B&B? Highly recommended!

Nothing to mention

Ruime kamer, heerlijk ontbijt en hele vriendelijke eigenaren. Ook avondeten was goed. Uit alles bleek de gastvrijheid en vriendelijkheid van Ierlans

De hosts waren geweldig! Het heeft ons aan niets ontbroken. Mary en John hebben zelfs speciaal voor mij een maaltje mosselen gemaakt, terwijl deze nog niet gereed waren.

Niets, alles was top! Kregen zelfs lekkers voor het naar bed gaan!

Exceptionally caring hosts, great facilities, comfy bed.

Our stay was wonderful. The owners, John and Merry, are incredibly warm and welcoming people who make sure you have everything you need. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic experience and wonderful hosts. Kinde Regards Marcel and Genna

We stayed at 7 places on our Ireland holiday, and while they were all wonderful, Sea Villa was far and away our favorite! Before arriving, they reached out to confirm our arrival time and even offered to cook dinner for us. We took them up on their offer, and my wife still gushes about Mary and John's Irish stew and gracious hospitality - and I don't suspect she'll ever stop. I don't know how to explain it other than they made us feel like family, in the best way possible. Everything was exceptionally comfortable. We were warmly greeted with a welcome drink and sent to bed with a nightcap after Mary served us dinner. The house itself is peacefully bucolic (we enjoyed watching a local hare in the front yard during breakfast). Really, truly can't say enough nice things about this B&B. Easily an 11/10 experience!

There was nothing we didn't like (love!) - if we're ever on the island again, we will make a point of it to visit Mary and John. Can't wait to go back!

We give this beautiful property 100/100 the host Mary and John are beyond amazing kind loving kind hearted people in the world! Don’t forget to ask Mary about her amazing home cook meal for dinner it made our stay even more better! The nightly chocolate and night cap drinks special treat is what we looked forward to each night! John has great ideas to do in the area that is beyond amazing to see.Mary’s cooking in the morning is nothing like anything in Ireland we had! We already have plans for our next trip out!

Excellent service. Very comfortable bed. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Will definately recommend it . Looking foreward to next visit there.

Very warm Welcome. Mussels were great. Many thanks.

Most amazing and special hosts. Breakfast and the room in general with all offered extras are gorgeous. All the small details and little somethings; I appreciated it so much

A very pleasant and comfortable B&B, run by a lovely couple who were very friendly and helpful and couldn't have done more to make my stay enjoyable. They were also very responsive to a short notice booking, much appreciated.

There was literally nothing that I didn't like. The location was beautiful and peaceful and even though it was potentially a long walk from Ardgroom (I was on foot), the owners picked me up and dropped me back the next day.

Breakfast best we ever got.

Everything was excellent

John and Mary were super nice hosts! They even cooked dinner for a fee so that we didn't have to drive into town and it was delicious. Breakfast had good choices, from French Toast with fruit, to oatmeal, or an Irish Breakfast. We even got a nice nightcap!

It was all great! No complaints!

Gostamos de tudo! Desde o momento em que chegamos até ao momento em que saímos! Fomos muito bem recebidos, é um casal amável e nos sentimos em casa. Recomendamos de olhos fechados e com certeza iremos voltar.

Mary and John are amazing hosts. They are so welcoming and are truly interested in their guests. We were greeted with a glass of Prosecco and then had a wonderful dinner where my husband had the best mussels he’s ever had. Our room was very comfortable and breakfast was wonderful. Lots of choices, even Canadian maple syrup for my French toast! If you get a chance to stay here don’t hesitate you will feel like you’re royalty.

Preochotni majitele

Mary is the warmest, delightful, welcoming and hilarious hist that we've encountered on our trip. From the first step across the threshold to our exit her caring for our comfort and attention to detail was incomparable. The trip out the Berra peninsula was well worth the drive.

Google maps distance was incorrect.

Amazing b&b. John and Mary see very kind, I was hiking and they dried my shoes and clothes overnight and drove to the next town over because I left a bit late so I could make it to the next waypoint. Mary's an amazing cook and the room was perfect. I hope to come back, by and far one of the nicest homes I've stayed at! Thanks very much for everything and I hope to see you guys next summer with my sister! Love from Canada.

Situado en un lugar muy tranquilo y con un entorno precioso. Los anfitriones unos crac, encantadores y serviciales. La casa y habitación muy acogedor. El desayuno abundante y excelente

No hay nada que no nos gustase

De enorme gastvrije ontvangst. De lieve eigenaren. De extra's waar zij voor zorgden.

Niets

Fantastische BenB. We voelde ons er helemaal thuis! Mary en John leggen je echt in de watten. Heerlijke mosselen gegeten, recht van de kwekerij van John. Mooie luxe kamer!

Helemaal niets!!

The hosts and the food.

Would be nice to have tea making capabilities in the room but that’s the only improvement I can think of.

From the moment we arrived at John and Mary's charming B&B in Ardgroom, we felt right at home. Tucked away in a picturesque villages on the Beara Peninsula, this little spot is everything you’d hope for in an Irish getaway — cozy, peaceful, and full of heart. John and Mary are the perfect hosts: warm, welcoming, and full of local knowledge. They went above and beyond to make our stay special, from the welcome drinks on arrival to the helpful tips on nearby walks and sights. The rooms were spotless, beautifully decorated, and had a lovely mix of traditional charm and modern comfort. Mary was a delightful host and cooked us amazing breakfast each morning while accommodating my dietary restrictions with aplomb! Whether you're exploring the Ring of Beara, hiking in the hills, or just enjoying the quiet beauty of the countryside, this B&B is the perfect base. We can't recommend it enough and will absolutely be back. Thank you, John and Mary, for a truly unforgettable stay!

Great serene location, quite and comfy.

Ontvangst was heel hartelijk. Wij kregen zelfs een welkomstdrankje aangeboden. Aan alles gedacht, zelf make up remover ! Geweldig ontbijt, heel veel en alles heel smaakvol opgediend.

Tutto perfetto! Prenotate ad occhi chiusi, non ve ne pentirete! Grazie Mary & Jhon.. continuate così e renderete i vostri ospiti sempre felici.

Niente da segnalare

We had a wonderful stay at Sea Villa with John and Mary, an amazing couple and perfect hosts. From the warm welcome drink to the delicious breakfast, every detail was spot on. Their attention to detail and genuine care made us feel truly at home, and we thoroughly enjoyed our conversations with them.

Lovely place, John & Mary couldn't be more helpful. Gorgeous location. 10/10

There are a few B&Bs I'd stay in again and Sea Villa is now one of those. Fabulous B&B on the Beara Peninsula. Very quiet and comfortable. Lovely friendly owners who even provided welcome drinks. A great breakfast with lots of choice and a lovely cove to swim in near by.

Warm Irish Welcome, felt like at home❤️

The friendliest hosts you'll ever meet, like being welcomed by old dear friends and they'd do anything for you. Very clean room with exceptionally comfortable beds, like sleeping on a cloud, and the breakfast, oh the breakfast!!!

Nothing!

Nice house, wonderfully friendly (and funny) hosts, delicious breakfast and dinners. True hospitality in a beautiful corner of Ireland.

Nothing!

best friendliest couple as hosts... so cool their cooking was amazing

Everything was great! I was looking for peace and quiet and got more than expected. It's like mini boutique hotel. Short walk to the strand or pier for swim. Freshly picked food for dinner, generous portions. Drinks available, what else to ask for. Had best sleep over long time. Would definitely visit again.

No seaview, but it's 5 min walk both sides to pier and strand for swim.

EVERYTHING!!! Wonderful hosts, fantastic location. Immaculate in its presentation. Super comfy beds and pillows. 10/10

Thanks Mary and John, we loved our time at your beautiful house. The landscape was stunning and the rooms have the perfect view as well super comfortable furnishings. We watched the sun set and listened to the wind singing over the hills before getting the best night’s sleep we have had in ages. We had a great laugh and a fabulous breakfast, really warm hosts that also give you space and perfect advice. walked down to the mussel farms and everyone either working the farms or on the road had a friendly wave for the obvious tourist : ) highly recommended.

Na

The host were amazing! We got in late after a long day driving, John greeted us in the drive to help with our things, the rooms were beautiful and comfy, felt like coming home. We had a fabulous home cooked breakfast in the am along with great conversation. Sea villa is a perfect off the beaten track, tucked away gem. A true taste of Ireland by the sea😎highly recommend!

Mary and John were fantastic hosts! Attention was given to every detail! And it was a pleasure tasting their locally farmed mussels!

John and Mary are the absolute best.

A lovely stay with wonderful hosts.

My fiancée and I spent one night at Sea Villa. Mary and John are excellent hosts - welcoming and easy to talk to. The homemade mussels and stew for dinner were delicious; so was breakfast. We were spoiled. The room was clean and comfortable. Beara really is a hidden gem. The view from the pier just down from their home was one of our favourites in Ireland (and we lived there for 5 years). Highly recommended!

Nothing.

Great host and very comfortable stay in exceptionally beautiful surroundings

Nothing

Mary & John looked after us so well, rooms are modern and well appointed, dinner was divine especially the mussels caught fresh that morning, breakfast was to order and the perfect start to our day after a stunning sunrise over the hills and pier! We really enjoyed exploring the area and will be back as there is so much to see and do.

Owners John and Mary very outgoing, hospitable and interesting. Nothing was a problem and there was the ability to make people feel at ease. Really lovely people and great conversationalist.

Basically we loved everything. Road to and from accommodation needed a little care in terms of driving. Food available in nearby village can't be recommended so may be necessary to go further. John and Mary's recommendation for second night was top class.

original Irish B&B experience. incredibly friendly and welcoming hosts who went above and beyond to make staying with them a special experience. very nice room with good matress everything went good from the begining good quality breakfast and we had nice dinner there very good location is a bit remote but if you have car and you like nature this is the place for you exeptional Mary and John are very friendly and they do their work from their heart seeyuo again and thankyou

The location was serene and quiet. Mary gave great attention to detail. Both John and Mari were incredibly hospitable and made our trip. Absolutely perfect. Mari went out of her way to make us dinner as we were arriving later. The clam chowder was amazing as was breakfast salmon and eggs unbelievable.

Absolutely nothing

The property was in an amazing location very clean, comfortable and cosy like a 5 star hotel or better. Highly recommend it.

Everything was perfect

Lovely location, the hosts Mary and John are very friendly and accommodating, comfortable rooms and good food.

The property is beautiful and in a gorgeous setting. The hosts, Mary and John, gave a welcome of the highest order and attended to all needs. It was more of a luxury stay than staying in a normal B&B. There was a wonderful breakfast, there was a welcome drink and a nightcap. There was the option for dinner and it was extremely good. I would definitely love to stay here again.

Nothing. It was wonderful.

The home is beautiful in a large acreage. The best part is the amazing hosts who run it. Mary & John are the most wonderful people!! We miss you both already.

Nothing - it was absolutely perfect!!

Beautiful place and people, friendly, helpful and very hospitable. Welcomed us with sparkling wine and surprised us with chocolate and Irish liqueur… great breakfast.

Stylish rooms that were super clean and comfortable. Stunning views, gorgeous property. Generous and accomodating hosts that went above and beyond to make us feel at home.

Nothing.

John and Mary are the most amazing and welcoming hosts. Dinner and breakfast were delicious and they couldn’t have done more for us. We’d love to visit again if we find ourselves back in Ardgroom!

Everything :)

The hospitality of Mary and John was out of this world! The comfiest bed and the incredible breakfast was better than 5 star hotels we’ve visited. We had the warmest of welcomes with great attention to every detail - the cleanliness, the unexpected treats, the delicious cooking and lots of laughter. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you Mary and John!

Mary and John were absolutely phenomenal hosts! Best B&B experience I have had. Accommodation was lovely and clean, breakfast was amazing and we had a drink made for us on arrival! Would come back and will be telling all my family and friends!

I wish I stayed longer!

It was peaceful and the hosts were very nice.

The distance to a restaurant for dinner. Limited options for dinner.

Mary and John were such heartwarming hosts that one would forget about the tiny tiny room and bathroom. The dinner prepared by the hosts was lovely, with fresh mussels harvested by John on the same day, and prepared in a genius garlic seawater broth by Mary.

Much too small rooms. Nothing for travelers who look for privacy and intimacy - book Sea Villa if you like personal connections!

John and Mary have been the kindest hosts. Their house is beautiful, the interior is cozy and simply gorgeous, the bed, bathroom, dining room and surroundings are great. Be sure to ask for their Full "English" Breakfast and get (gently) made fun of for the rest of your stay. I wholeheartedly recommend coming here. Paul & Camille ❤️

Mary and John 🩷

The shower pressure was not strong enough to wash my hair properly.

The hosts, food, location, and room were all beyond expectation! Mary and John are a delight and will welcome you with open arms and a warm delectable meal 🥰 One of our all time favorite bnb experiences- do yourself a favor and stay here! Thanks again for everything!

This was such a perfect place to stay. Wonderful, accommodating hosts who pay attention to every detail. The comfiest beds. A delicious breakfast. And a beautiful location to make for an authentic Irish experience!

We stayed at 7 hotels and bnbs in Ireland and this one had the comfiest bed by a country mile! I’ve probably talked about that mattress 5 times since we’ve been home! John and Mary are outgoing and extremely funny! They couldn’t do enough for you. There were some additional surprises too (which I won’t spoil) which really made the stay and their hospitality memorable. Everything was top quality and exceptionally clean. P.s. really nice to see a trouser press! Not many of those any more!

It may be a little overwhelming if you are an introvert, but then it’s probably exactly what you need!

Hosts went above and beyond to provide a memorable stay. Couldn't find more welcoming folks. Breakfasts stupendous. Thank you very much for everything.

Everything was way beyond expectations

Nothing

Lovely host. Nice room with terrace. Good breakfast

Room a little small but this is only being very picky.
