The location is perfect for visiting an untouched part of West Cork.
The owners were wonderful hosts - very friendly.
Rooms were spacious, and breakfast options were great.

Everything’s was wonderful from beginning to end. When we arrived Caroline made us a wonderful tray of hot tea and sweet homemade treats. The room was beautifully apportioned, and all details thought out. A fan if we were hot and an extra blanket if we got cold. (The fan definitely came in handy!)
Breakfast was also wonderful! So many options - all of them tasty. Homemade bread and biscuits, yogurt parfaits, an assortment of cheeses and meats…and more. The space is wonderful and so are the hosts. We highly recommend this beautiful B&B!

The breakfast was good in a local, close restaurant. But, it did open later than we usually eat.
The location was close to the downtown, which we like in the evening.

Great location, short walk into the town. Great to have a space for our sole use. Fresh milk, tea, coffee and sugar were supplied which was a lovely touch. We stayed in early Feb so it was chilly. I believe underfloor heating is being added soon. There is no connecting door between the living area/bedroom and the very large bathroom. This wasn’t a big issue for us but may be an issue for others. There was a great large walk in shower

The place is wonderful. It's in the middle of a stunningly beautiful garden. Michael lives nearby but it feels private. I didn't see him after I checked in. Not a lot of windows inside but it gets some light in the morning anyway since it's on top of an exposed hill. There are outside sitting terraces all around, including a secluded one in the back. Views are amazing. Everything was very thoughtfully prepared, including cut flowers from the garden. Highly recommend.

Absolutely beautiful, spacious room. Amazing shower. The most comfortable beds we had on our 14 day trip. Lovely breakfast, appreciated the vegetarian option.
Biased as my family come from the area.
There is plenty to explore in the area from the mines to the strand.
Dursey cable car is fun and nice walking on the island
The local mine museum is good for rainy days.
O'Neils bar has local traditional music every Sunday and in summer occasionally on Wednesdays and Thursdays
The Dursey Deli in the village does excellent fish food in the evenings mostly landed that morning off the trawlers

Loved the village, The Copper Mine Museum is a must, as is the Beara Barista and Dursey Deli. Lots of nice eateries- mainly takeout. Lots of good walking trails. Lovely and quite when we went but probably very lively during the height of the season

When we arrived the weather was atrocious, but it does not take from the beauty and majesty of the Beara Peninsula. The weather improved on the second day and the magic increased. The Copper Mine Museum is a disappointment, none of the interactive displays were working and the entry price of €6 does not represent value for money. The walks and hikes are clearly signposted as are any local attractions. Allihies is a great base from which to explore the stunning Beara peninsula

If you’re looking for a quiet break from a busy life in a city, Allihies is the perfect spot with its’ stunning nature surroundings, beautiful sandy beach, lots of amazing walking paths and friendly people. I’ve recharged in that part of Ireland like nowhere else. Will definitely be back there again
What can I say - our family decided to staycation this year and visit the wild Atlantic way. Seaview guesthouse was recommended in a blog and to say it was outstanding is an understatement. From the moment we were greeted by Mary on arrival until she waved us off the next morning, our stay was exceptional. We have stayed in multiple 4/5 star hotels across the world, and the Seaview was up there for cleanliness, room size and all the extras. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to explore the real Ireland on the Atlantic way.
Loved that it was close enough to the village and beach to walk there but far enough away to have total peace and quiet. Went to Allihies on a walking holiday and the minute that you stepped out the door you were on the Copper Mines Trail and the Beara Way. Couldn't have been better.
Very clean comfortable. Almost homely feel. Great breakfast. Stunning views and great location. Loved every minute of being in Allihies and staying at the guest house. Mary and family runs a very efficient and pleasant place.
The host is amazing and the breakfast is super. There is a choice of pancake which is mouthwatering. the place is highly recommended
Allihies is a beautiful town. Truly wonderful stay.
