    This B&B is in an absolutely gorgeous location, with a stunning view. It's very close to Portmagee, Cahersiveen, and Valentia Island so perfect for exploring some of Kerry. The owners were so kind and helpful, and went out of their way to help us plan our trip while we were staying. Breakfast was also excellent, a great mix of delicious homemade options - would definitely recommend!

    Not a negative for us but other travellers may not love that there isn't a door to the bathroom in your room as opposed to a curtain. For us this was fine and the shower is really great and powerful. Secondly the location is quite remote however this is clear when signing up and the house is lovely.

    There is so much to love about this place! The house it's stunning, the view out is incredible, the hosts are genuinely passionate and caring about your stay and you making it a great one. The breakfast was delicious and you get to choose from 4 options each day! Parking is easy on site and the house is closely located to Portmagee for Skellig Michael or Valancia island. A big plus was that the room is lovely but they also give you a lounge room to play games or read a book. So thoughtful!

    Need Booking.com to add the GPS coordinates or you'll end up at the wrong location. Fortunately, I happened to check my email and the host sent this information.

    The hosts had great communication with us before the visit. They were at the door to meet us, tell us about the place and take us to our rooms. We then got a nice menu to make our breakfast requests. Next to the 2 rooms was another room to hang out in. It had games, books, etc. The bed was comfortable and I slept with and open window for the first time in many years. Breakfast was ready on time and we had a beautiful review of the Portmagee Channel. Our excursion to Skellig Michael was cancelled so the hosts recommended we drive the Skellig Ring. This was wonderful and saved the day for us since the purpose of the trip was to visit Skellig Michael. The Skellig Ring was tour was awesome.

    Lovely spacious room with the most amazing view across the water. It was lovely to sit outside in the evening and eat a picnic using the picnic table. Pete and Maureen were great hosts. Pete offered excellent suggestions for what to visit and when including a map which was incredibly helpful. The cooked breakfast was absolutely delicious.

    Wow! Absolutely stunning view of the bay right from the bedroom window. Enjoyed watching the sunset from bed both nights! The hosts were incredible and made an absolutely wonderful breakfast. The beautiful view from the breakfast nook made breakfast even better! The host also prepared us a nice sack lunch (for a small fee). The house is only a few minutes from Portmagee (Skellig Michael tour) and several fantastic seafood places. Can't recommend enough!

    Nothing, not one fault.

    Honestly Uisce Beatha House is hands down the most beautiful b&b I’ve ever experienced and I have travelled extensively! From the natural surroundings, location, interior decor, bedding, home made breakfasts / lunches and just how comfortable the hosts Maureen & Pete make you feel. So friendly and kind, with amazing recommendations and hand written maps of the surrounding area! I cannot fault them and cannot wait to visit again! Thank you both so much, you made our last two days on Kerry truly unforgettable x

    If there is anything to "upgrade" then this is a door to be added between the bath and the room. There is only a curtain which could be potentially disturbing.

    An exceptional place, perfect location and a perfect view. The house is nicely renovated with a separate area for the guests. We had the room with sea-view which made the stay even better. Quiet place, close to Portmagee for our trip to Skellig. Clean rooms, hosts which helped with our questions (we even could get a charger for our Canon camera which we forgot at home - a one out of a million luck chance!! :-) ). Nice breakfast options in the dining area of the hosts - with view to the sea. I can only fully recomend.
