Michael Ireland

The location on the water is glorious. The detailed care Siobhan has put into her home is evident everywhere. Space to relax.

Minnie Ireland

Breakfast was amazing, so fresh and presentation was stunning

Rachel Ireland

I was here for a wedding, and I had brought my suit in a bag. The host Siobhan ironed the suit for me, gave me lifts down the road into town, provided a water pouch for my jog, rubber shoes for swimming outside in the bay, and even gave me a helpful breakfast after breakfast hours (ends 10am) when I had overslept due to arriving back from the wedding at 4am. It was beyond my expectation. The lodge is fantastic, the views from the balcony on Kingfisher were stunning, the sort of place to have a coffee and look out. Siobhan is the best host of any lodge/airbnb I have ever been to. It's a shame I only stayed for 2 nights because I would have loved to have spent more time in Bantry, especially swimming in that bay with clear water.

Company information

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.
