Nothing !

The staff is excellent, At arrival, a warm reception. Cozy breakfast room where your plans for the day even get better. The location is superb.

Perhaps the lack of restaurant choices. It is advisable to book your table at the restaurant beforehand.

The property was immaculate and well-kept. It had a feeling of a home away from home. The host was helpful in suggesting activities to do and was very welcoming. The breakfast was genuine, healthy and enough to keep us full till lunch. The view from the room was awesome. Location is nice and peaceful. Restaurants could be found within walking distance across the bridge.

The two bedroom apartment is it's own separate building with a main floor living room, kitchen, and half bath. Upstairs, there is one larger bedroom (with a double and a twin bed), a small bedroom (with one twin bed), and a jack and jill bathroom in between. Frances is a warm and friendly host. We couldn't have been more pleased with our stay.

Breakfast was not really what we expected (we were accomodated in separate, lovely, small house).

Location - ideal for boat trips (walking distance to the harbour), nice view from the house, friendly host

Great location, just across the road from Skellig visitor centre and a 10-min walk to Portmagee harbour. The host was very friendly and helpful, letting us have breakfast half an hour earlier than usual (due to the early departure of the boat), helping with the washing, etc.

We loved our stay at Carraiglaigh Liath House! The lady who owns it gives you the feeling that you are long awaited friends who visit! It is super clean, very comfortable and you get a lovely continental breakfast. She tells you all the good places to go and is just the sweetest Irish lady. The restaurants in Portmagee are in walking distance over the bridge.

There wasn't anything I didn't like. I did feel like I was making more noise than I wanted to with the floor boards. That could be the only thing. Otherwise it was perfect.

It was a lovely house and the hosts were absolutely wonderful. It was a short walk to town across a bridge and perfect distance to get to our boat trip.

- yogurt, some fruit, and cold cereal options for breakfast; neither a hot breakfast (eggs) nor protein options (sliced meat) were presented in a town with no other options early in the morning - no refrigerator or hot plate were available either for us to make our own hot meal

- location is superb and our top-floor room had a great view of the water - Frances is a very personable host who will provide some sightseeing suggestions

I had a wonderful stay in Portmagee! The host was exceptionally hospitable and made me feel very welcome from the moment I arrived. The room was spacious, beautifully clean, and offered a stunning view of the sea — truly a perfect place to relax. Each morning, I enjoyed delicious breakfasts that were both hearty and thoughtfully prepared. The location couldn't have been better — just steps away from the harbor, which made exploring Portmagee and taking boat trips incredibly convenient. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!

The property is stunning. A fantastic view surrounds the entire property. Very close proximity to Portmagee marina, less than 10 minutes, perfect for a boat tour around the Skellig island. Frances, the host, was an absolute pleasure and had wonderful recommendations on where to eat and what to do in and around Valentia Island. A light continental breakfast was provided which was a perfect way to start the day! If I am ever back in the area, and hopefully I will be, Carraig Liath House would be at the top of my list!

The host and hostess could not have been more accommodating. We arrived as strangers, and three days later, left as friends.The little house is comfy, has all the needed amenities, has a beautiful view of the bay, which is located literally yards away. The property is easy to find and there are pubs and restaurants very close by, as well as historical places to visit. I would highly recommend this home.

We had an incredible stay at Carraig Liath House! Frances, the host, was extremely helpful and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The house is located on Valentia Island, offering a truly breath-taking view of the surrounding landscape—absolutely mesmerizing and perfect for relaxation. Our room and bathroom were spotless, with everything maintained to a very high standard. The cleanliness and attention to detail made our stay even more comfortable. To top it off, they even offered some breakfast, which was a lovely touch and much appreciated. Overall, a fantastic experience! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable stay on Valentia Island, especially if you’re visiting Skellig Island.

Fantastic location on the Ring of Kerry. We had the best time with Frances, she is a great person and a warm host. You can get to many sights such as the breathtaking Kerry Cliffs in just a few minutes by car and the village of Portmagee in just a few minutes on foot. The family atmosphere at breakfast is particularly noteworthy. We can highly recommend a stay!
