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.
Very nice apartment on the corner with big green area on the side. Lovely living room with big fireplace and open kitchen plus dining area. Two very comfortable bedrooms. Friendly and helpful host. Beautiful beach is only 3 min drive from the apartment. Is good to do some shopping before your stay because nearest shop is long distance from the place (10 min drive).
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.
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.
Great location, just outside Ballinskelligs. Easy to find , plenty of parking. Great welcome from the owner and advice on where to eat etc. Nice breakfast and overall the place had a relaxed atmosphere. Rooms are comfortable . Very good WiFi . Would stay there again.
House and Location are amazing close to the beach and playground and the kids loved Skellig Chocolate Factory and driftwood restaurant all within walking distance and just a short drive about 6km to Kerry Cliffs which are stunning .
Would definitely recommend.
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.
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.
Lovely owners and fresh breakfast in the mornings, great location for Skellig tours nearby. It was also nice to meet more travelers in the common rooms for a beverage in the evening.
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.
