We arrived at a very disorganized and dysfunctional establishment that was quite difficult to find, even with the mixed-up directions provided.
When I tried to clarify some issues with the host, she responded with, "I shouldn’t even be here, it’s my day off." This didn't address any of our concerns. I tried to change to a different room due to the confusing layout and the number of stairs, but was told they were fully booked but after pushing it, i was given a different room. Then for curiosity I checked their website and was able to book three rooms for the same night, so clearly the “we are fully booked” was debatable.
The hotel supposedly offers free parking, but we were told it’s on a first-come, first-served basis. Considering the number of rooms, many guests would likely have to struggle for street parking.
The bed was okay, but the pillows were cheap and uncomfortable. There is a fridge, but it was warmer inside the fridge than the room.
There are 12 downlights in the room, with two switches on the wall, one of which does nothing, while the other turns all 12 lights on or off at once so its all or nothing! Additionally, there are no bedside lamps, just a tiny reading lamp with very low wattage. There isn’t even a towel rail in the bathroom.
The rooms are noise transparent, noise travels heavily throughout the building so you can hear whats going on in the room above you and hallway noise is very bad. Also for a room for two people, there was only one arm chair and when asked if it was possible to get another one, we were told yes, but we never saw it which is consistent with the disorganization.
The rate is advertised as including breakfast but what is provided is a joke. A couple of pastries i. a paper bag, hung on the door overnight lol.

Location was great, the house was spotless with way more that we ever needed- Jeffrey was very patient with us trying yo work out the induction cooker😉. But seriously speaking the house offers comfort from home...

Royal Valentia is a joy to stay in, amazing location, cheery welcoming staff, such a comfy bed, great shower, tasty breakfast - especially the brown bread, and the scrambled eggs, relaxing vibe, and all this in a lovingly restored historic hotel.

Lovely friendly town with a few pubs ( although less than was open on our last trip). Music in some of the pubs and one which was full of locals and pleasant to sit and chat in. Some interesting little shops and near Valentia Island which is a very interesting place to spend a day.

What a great little town.
What a great little town. What’s even better is that you can just head to the Ring of Skellig, which is breathtaking. So glad it was a cloudy day because we got the fog nestling into the hills. The contrast of the landscape in terms of colors was amazing. I would have done another loop just to see it all again! We will be back.

Was not very impressed really the room was a bit tired and lacked any nice touches it just had enough to get you by, very basic.
The host Christine was ok but seemed a bit miserable to be honest which is not very good when you are running a b&b this left me and my partner feeling like she wanted you gone as soon as possible.
Would choose another place to stay next time.

Quaint town plenty of tourist attractions, very friendly locals and three beautiful sunny days unfortunately day four was a typically Irish day referred to locally as "damp".As stated earlier could not visit the local hostilities due to the prohibition that has been inflicted upon us, but all for a very good reason that we will still be around next year to enjoy The Ring Of Kerry Hotel and beautiful County Kerry.

Cahersiveen is such a great base for a few days.
Cahersiveen is such a great base for a few days. You'll need time to go to Valentia Island and fully explore (which is well worth it), and go to the Kerry Cliffs (which we thought were better than Moher). We had an amazing seafood chowder in Pormagee, and would have taken another day to explore the Skelligs but we were here off season.
We enjoyed the ability to have 12 people stay and plenty of room to cook food, hang out and enjoy the pub feel, almost like a private party venue. Facilities were very modern while keeping the older pub-like feel. Good communication by the host, detailed information on all the establishments in the town of Cahersiveen. All the beds were new and very comfortable. Cahersiveen town has some beautiful scenery and the location of the property is nicely located to access everything you need. Overall, we had a great stay and will be back again.
We stayed at Sea Breeze for a weekend, I can say this is an amazing place, very clean and tidy, rooms are super spacious, bathroom great with hot water all time. Also, the breakfast is delicious and plenty. I highly recommend staying in this place, it has amazing views and is also well located with easy access, besides the places has a place to put the bikes for all these people who want to cycle the Ring of Kerry. Eillis who is the manager of the place was always kind and respectful to us.
Eamonn & Joan made us feel right at home. They cooked a traditional Irish breakfast that was the best in all of Ireland. They gave us recommendations for dinner and we had two delightful meals in town just 5 minutes away. The location was perfect for touring the Ring of Kerry. And it is a short drive to Portmagee where we had an amazing boat ride to the Skellig Islands. And their pup Charlie was adorable! We loved every minute there.
The quaint cottage was clean and cozy. The kitchen was fully equipped. We used the fireplace every evening. That was a real treat. The view of the bay with the mountains as a backdrop was incredible! We’d walk each day through the neighborhood filled with sheep and cows. Absolutely beautiful surroundings! I would come back to Ireland just to stay here! We drive the ring of Kerry. The views here were just as good.
Great situation, close to Portmagee for the visit to Skellig Michael and a fantastic place to stay! Modern, spacious, well thought out and well equipped. Anja is a great host and has good local knowledge. We would happily recommend this place. Oh, and this is part of the “Kerry dark sky reserve” area so you’ll hopefully get to see some amazing stars. we did!
The personal flair, getting to know the owner who is a terrific woman. Her recommendations for our onward journey were excellent!
The seafood restaurant was amazing for our dinner and the glass of Port was out of this world.
The accommodation was eclectic, refined and of great quality.
We loved this little place. Very convenient to seeing the natural beauty of Portmagee and the Kerry Cliffs. The Skellig Six 18 distillery is right around the corner, and the ferry to Valentia Island is at the end of the road. Very clean apartment with parking.
Location was perfect and the room was super comfortable. The owners of the B&B were really nice with us, flexible and helpful and the breakfast was superb. We love to go to Cahersiveen and we will book here again next time. Thanks for the wonderful service :-)
Nice, comfortable place to stay. Friendly hosts, gave us some recommendations for food and sightseeing. Good for a quiet night on the ring of Kerry tour. It’s just 15-20min drive from Portmagee where you can take a boat to Skellig Michael.
Bright, clean bed and breakfast that is professionally operated to a high standard. Friendly owner who shares her knowledge of the town and resources. Lounge in the front has excellent views of the hills and into the town of Cahersiveen.
