Pros:

Well priced, comfy room that's close to Portmagee where boat tours depart. Gary was very pleasant to chat to and was kind enough to provide an early breakfast before I headed of to Portmagee for a Skellig Island boat tour.

A very pleasant stay, superb location.
Pros:

A very pleasant stay, excellent, peaceful location. Situated close to the town of Cahersiveen & the ferry over to Valentia Island. Nice walks along country roads. The host Gary was most kind, always so helpful & attentive. Has a wealth of knowledge of the area & provided great advice on places to visit.

Cons:

Nothing.

Skellig Escape
Pros:

Perfect for 1 night stay if you are doing Skellig Michael tour next day and don’t wanna be ripped off by Portmagee prices. Beautiful location with ocean and mountains views. Host was friendly and property was clean.

Cons:

Single bed I got was way too short for me. My legs were off rhe bed (I’m 191 cm tall). Room was tiny and basic. No mirror in the room, no wardrobe, nothing. I feel I got the worst room in this property as on the pictures I can see better rooms. Shower is too small, especially if you are tall person. Generally I got a feeling of suffication in the room and bathroom as there is almost no space to move around.

Owner says he's a lawyer, a historian, makes promises he can't keep & threatened me.
Pros:

I dropped off my bags a few hours before check-in, but it went downhill within minutes, and I retrieved them and found somewhere else to stay. When I mentioned the very uncomfortable reception by his wife, he sent me a threatening message.

Cons:

My reception from Doreen was incredibly poor. It was about one o'clock, and she was still dressed in stained pj's and a bit out of it. When I mentioned the place was far further out than I imagined, and I was tired from the Camino, she went on about not being a walker and not believing in exercise. Three times. I was concerned about her mental health, and so was the woman who drove me there. It went downhill from there. Gary was to show me around, but he was out of town. His sister in Dublin was sick, and I empathised, but taxis are hit and miss, so I was worried about being stuck there with tension in the air. The outdoor sitting area was not as portrayed. The place looked cluttered and didn't include breakfast or kitchen access. I asked for 2 of the 3 nights to be refunded in my message, and offered to discuss it in person in town, and he threatened me, said he was a lawyer, and that he'd report me. And that he had a witness. There was no one there but his wife. I don't trust him one bit and didn't put in this complaint until I was safely out of town. I'd like a full refund now.

I waited until I left town to write the review because I felt threatened.
Pros:

I was too intimidated to give the place a try after a very disturbing welcome by Doreen, witnessed by the woman who drove me in from Tralee. On her advice, I didn't stay.

Cons:

Cosy cottage vibes
Pros:

Doreen made me feel exceptionally welcome. I had a wonderful cosy stay at their accommodation. She and her husband gave excellent recommendations for local beaches. The bed was so comfortable, I slept like a baby.

Pros:

No sign .gave arrival time no answer at door..no response to phone calls while I sat outside..then abusive messages from Gary.

Cons:

I didn't stay as couldn't get into accomadation..gave up trying after 30 mins of ringing and messaging only to receive insulting messages.

Last resort only if you have to get to!
Pros:

Not much to like! I stayed in 8 places for this Europe trip, this stood out!

Cons:

There’s no breakfast! The shower did not have hot water, the best l would say it felt like lukewarm and the shower drain hole was barely draining. My room even though faced a beautiful view of the Atlantic however was cold. A new heater still wrapped in plastic sat in the room tells me it needed to be installed.
The hosts initially said a family matter prevented them from meeting me for check-in. After l did a self checkout the host informed me the family matter apparently didn’t materialized. Regardless, l saw a car driven by the affected family member did a u turn in front of the house before l checked out.
Got it, l would be too selfless to trouble the hosts about the shower and room conditions if they had to deal with a family matter of medical urgency!

Es zählt nicht nur die Unterkunft sondern alles drumherum gehört auch dazu. Und das war spitze !
Pros:

Liebe Doreen und lieber Gary, endschuldigt bitte, das ich so spät schreibe. Ihr habt eine tolle Unterkunft, habt nette Gespräche mit mir geführt und habt mir tolle Tipps für meinen Aufenthalt in Irland gegeben. Viele davon habe ich mir angeschaut und war schlichtweg begeistert. Und nun bin ich wieder zu Hause in Deutschland. Vielen, vielen Dank für eine tolle Zeit bei Euch. Mit lieben Grüßen Rolf

Cons:

Alles war super
