Lovely stay, place was so beautiful and clean, well kept and loved the little touches like the homemade scones and blackboard with the weather. Great location would highly recommend
Almost new property, very nice room, very friendly and helpful staff, elaborate sumptuous continental breakfast available at extra cost, onsite parking, fast internet.
Value for money property.
Lovely property with continental breakfast. Andy and his family made us very welcome. Our Classic Family room was perfect and spacious.
Andy communicated promptly and gave clear instructions on where to locate our key and room.
Quiet location just a few minutes’ drive from the quay in Portmagee. Would totally recommend Seagull Cottage.
Excellent breakfast. Easy check in. Comfortable, clean room with most things you would need.
We experienced some noise from the room above us or next to us that detracted somewhat
Room was clean, parking was easy and available. Didn’t pay for the breakfast so didn’t see what was available. The thing that could have been better was the mattress.
Our one night stay at Seagull cottage went really well. The host sent us an email explaining very well how to self check-in even though the owners were there and gave us some hints about where to eat in the nice little town of Portmagee.
The room was very clean and the breakfast was really good for only €7 a person.
The only thing I would suggest to the owners would be to have some carpets in the rooms upstairs to help with the sound proofing since we could hear the people walking around quite a bit when it was time to fall a sleep.
My wife and I recommend Seagull cottage to all! Thank you to Andy and his family!
The Seagull cottage was a great find. It was clean, bright rooms and beautiful scenery. We stayed there in order to go to Skelling Micheal. Unfortunately our trip was cancelled due to weather but we were able to see Valentia Island instead. We intend to book again and hope our Skelling Micheal trip is a go. Thank you Andrew!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
room was clean, it was convenient, and the people running it were very friendly. would highly recommend
A thoughtfully run and very comfortable B&B. A little bit of a hike to town, on a narrow country lane -- so walking at night wasn't a good option. The Continental breakfast with French press coffee was a nice touch.
