This was a nice stay in the country. Host was very nice and attentive. Small but quaint little room. Could have used a small chair to sit in and was quite crowded in the breakfast room. Maybe schedule times to attend would help. All in all a beautiful area. Was able to hike up to the majestic cliffs by a little car tide away.

This place is an excellent choice for people planning to make the trip to Skellig Michael. Simple but meets your needs. The owner was flexible in our arrival which was most helpful. The area is quiet and peaceful. We could tell that the walls were a bit thin and could hear other guests, however most people made an effort to be respectful. Breakfast serve-yourself choices were also simple but very good. Great option and value for the area. I would happily stay there again.

The Seagull Cottage was so quaint and clean and in such a great location! The owners were very easy to communicate with and friendly. Plenty of parking out front of the cottage which was situated in a rural farm area, sheep all around and green rolling hills. A 10 minute walk to the tiny town of Port Magee, it's tiny, but all the people are super friendly, with a cute local pub (I would recommend the seafood chowder) and an excellent restaurant for dinner...I had the Guiness Irish stew, was delicious. There is also a waterfront restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. From this area you can take a boat to Skellig Michael, two land masses, one housing a plethora of birds and the other a monastery that has 500? stairs to walk up (depending on the season), well worth the trip. Also near the Cottage was the Cliffs of Kerry, absolutely stunning!! a must do. I loved the feel and vibe of the Seagull cottage, and Port Magee, wished I could have stayed longer. The property is really well looked after and the breakfast in the breakfast room was wonderful, was nice to talk to people and see what they were doing for the day or had done to recommend. There was a great variety of breakfast options and the mellow music was a really nice touch. I particularly enjoyed the French presses for morning coffee :), thank you. Also, being a huge IKEA fan I loved all the IKEA touches. I would highly recommend The Seagull cottage and Port Magee for a relaxed, quiet place to stay. Well done!
