The Old School House B&B, hotel in Ballinskelligs

In picturesque Ballinskelligs, the 19th-century Old School House B&B is nestled between sandy beaches and stunning mountains on the Wild Atlantic Way.

Dominic and Lillian are incredibly lovely people! Warm, welcoming, and we felt at home. Like staying with an Irish aunt and uncle. I wish we could have stayed there our entire trip around Southwest Ireland. Beautiful, perfect stop on the Ring of Kerry. Lillian made a lovely breakfast of eggs and pancakes, plus yummy brown bread, delicious coffee and additional morning delights. Whilst having breakfast, Dominic cracked jokes and did some funny slide of hand. Our trip is quite intense so it was mostly a place to lay our head, and have some breakfast, but we truly wish our stay had been longer and not as face-paced so we could have more time there. Dominic was full of great suggestions on where to go next, and how best to get there (vs using Apple Maps). Shower pressure was amazing. Upon leaving, Dominic gave us all hugs, and it made it that much harder to part ways. If you want a fantastic and interesting Ireland bed and breakfast experience, you have arrived, my friend. Thanks for everything, Lillian, Dominic, Ryan, and Phoebe!!!

This property is set up with a traveller in mind! My room was on the ground floor, and had handicapped accessible features. I loved all the surfaces in the bathroom to put my get ready stuff on. The closet was open, and I thought that made it easier for me set my things out, and not forget them.

    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!

    Location was great, only a short drive away (approx. 15 mins) from Waterville and Cahersiveen, and a great location to explore the Kerry coast, Skellig islands, Valentia Island, etc. The B&B itself is a charming refurbished school house, and we found the bedroom to be spacious and clean, with comfortable beds. Our hosts were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious (and made to order), served in the very pleasant guest lounge. Overall we enjoyed our 2-night stay there. Thank you!

    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.

    Location is very good, quite close to the Ballinskelligs beach and easy distance to Waterville, Finian's Bay, Cahirciveen, and Port Magee. You have the whole cottage to yourself and the upstairs rooms are very big, full bathrooms upstairs and downstairs (downstairs is en suite in the third bedroom). Full kitchen and good size common area. Four cottages with a shared driveway area our front, plenty parking. Someone did come by the day after arrival to check in and see did we need anything.

    Beautiful contemporary B&B with gorgeous woodwork and tile throughout. The owners, Mary and Christie were warm and friendly. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. Short walk to the beautiful beach and historic ruins. We enjoyed a relaxing two evenings here as we toured the Ring of Kerry. Don't miss a tour of Skellig Michael (we left from nearby Portmagee marina). Highly recommend Seaside B&B and hope to return one day. Thank you Mary & Christie!

    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.

    Comfortable and close to Ring of Kerry. Our favorite part was talking to Dominic. He told us some great stories and played us a song he wrote. His Wife Lillian was a great Chef and her pancakes were lovely. We hope to be back someday. Rock-n-roll <3 Reneé & Bryan
