The breakfast was gorgeous. There was a spectacular view from the suite bedroom. Thanks for the upgrade. The host was very friendly and attentive. The area was very tranquil.

Grace Ireland

This is a wonderful place. It is absolutely spotless and the bedrooms are beautiful. Breakfast was excellent - home made and fresh. The location could not be better. The house is right on the shore of Bantry Bay. On our last night we sat out under the pergola, a couple of steps from the bay. Siobhán, the host is fantastic, and so friendly.

Seafort is the perfect spot from which to relax and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this beautiful location. Ideally situated on the Wild Atlantic Way and surrounded by some of Irelands most stunning countryside and seascapes, Seafort is a waterside haven for discerning travellers. Why stay in a Hotel when you can relax in luxury with equally desirable facilities and savour the outstanding locally sourced organic home cooked food?
Siobhan was born to Irish parents and has spent much of her life in Ireland. She has travelled extensively for both business and pleasure and has developed exacting standards when it comes to accommodation and service. Converting Seafort into a luxury guesthouse has been a labour of love and her impeccable taste and design flair, combined with attention to detail and her community spirit combine to make a unique waterside retreat. Siobhan has used her own travel experiences to design a stylish, yet homely guesthouse with personalised touches and to create an experience that truly encapsulates the best of Bantry Bay. The 'Seafort' sausage has been specially created by her local butcher and the artwork in the bedrooms was created by local artists. Owned and personally run by Siobhan, Seafort Luxury Hideaway is the perfect place for your West Cork escape.
A picturesque and luxury hideaway, yet minutes from the shops and restaurants of the bustling town of Bantry, Seafort is the perfect spot from which to explore the surrounding country side
