    This is the perfect place to stay for Skiellig Michael. Sweet little room, quiet at night, and in the center of Portmagee!

    Check-in is completely contactless. Never saw the host through the whole stay. The host provided detailed instruction in advance so it was not a problem at all. Street parking is limited but there is a big public parking lot that allows overnight...

    We had a lovely stay and appreciated the accessibility of the host! Very lovely room that ww were warned was tight prior to arrival. We appreciated that the host communicated this to us prior and that we were able to only take up our backpacks...

    Good place to stay for a stop in Portmagee. The rooms are on the smaller side and don't leave any space for extra luggage or movement around the room. Public free parking is not to far.
  • Karen

    Perfect location for Skellig Island trip, walking distance to restaurants, bar, docks. Comfortable room, private bathroom across hall (knew this in advance).
