“The location was perfect. We needed to be near the harbor to go out to Skellig and this place was across the street! Also, it is only a 5 minute drive from the Kerry Cliffs which were amazing!”

“The Ferry Boat is right in town where everthing is within very easy walking distance. We were able to meet the owner and chat with him which was very nice. We enjoyed out time there.”

“The location was perfect -- just across the street from the shop, and a few more steps to be at the marina for the Skellig tours, plus the few restaurants. Everything in Portmagee is close and these rooms are central to everything. Tea-making...”

Property info

Mike and Judy have owned The Ferry Boat since 2001 in the heart of Portmagee, if you are planning a trip to the Skelligs you cannot get much closer to the Harbour where the boats depart from, Portmagee is also a great place to stay for a few days whilst you explore Valentia & the Skellig Ring or try wind surfing & sea angling plus good walks & mountain views. The prices are Room Only and exclude Breakfast which is available in nearby Restaurants & cafes
