United States of AmericaThe property is a little dated, but can’t beat the location for boat trips out to Skelling Michael. The restaurant was great!
United States of AmericaThe room was very nice and comfortable. Staff was very friendly and pleasant. US plugs will not work in Ireland but awesome enough they were able to provide us with adapters. The Bridge Bar was great. Owner was very welcoming and took the time to talk with us,also was part of the live Irish music that was provided on Sunday night. Locals played and sang,it was such a awesome experience. I did the pint challenge where I poured my son the perfect Guinness from behind the bar,it was so cool. Food was well portioned and delicious. I had a order of the mussels, the best I ever had,it was so many and so fresh. My son and I had the pleasure of having Andy and Jonathan as our bartenders. These guy's were super cool to talk to and so friendly. We closed the bar with them on our last night and had a really great time,thank you guys. There is a lot to do and plenty of sites to take in around the area. The Moorings is the perfect place to stay.
United States of AmericaBreakfast was good with a nice variety. Loved the live music in the bar and the location for Skellig Michael was perfect! Staff were all great!
United States of AmericaThe room was spacious and decorated with an antique telephone. Room was very clean. Staff was very helpful and explained everything about the room. Breakfast was excellent, especially the Irish breakfast. They prepared nice lunch to visit the skelligs.
United States of AmericaThe owners were fantastic and made us lunch for our Skellig Michael trip and the bar downstairs is great with live music. If we were ever to come back I'd stay again!
United States of AmericaThe restaurant was great and this couldn’t be a more perfect location for boarding the ferry to Skellig Michael. It was a walk across the street and we were on our way.

Host Info
Overlooking Portmagee’s busy harbour, The Moorings Guesthouse is just a 30-second walk from the pier, offering elegant rooms with marble bathrooms. Some rooms feature luxurious hot tubs and king-size beds. Serving freshly caught seafood from Portmagee’s harbour, Moorings Restaurant offers nightly specials, excellent Irish beef and locally produced vegetables. The Bridge Bar provides award-winning food and traditional Irish music and dancing. With luxury toiletries, each recently refurbished room at The Moorings provides an en suite bathroom with a shower and large mirrored wall. Guests can relax with tea/coffee facilities and satellite TV. Some rooms feature spa baths and king size beds.
Even after 30 years in business, we still feel blessed to live in this special corner of South Kerry just off the Ring of Kerry, with spectacular scenery on our doorstep and a wealth of history, culture and local traditions around us, but our greatest pleasure is sharing all this with our guests. At The Moorings you can experience Irish traditions first-hand at one of our local festivals or music sessions in our award winning Bridge Bar, or if you are just looking for peace and seclusion, your stay at The Moorings can offer it all. Choose to eat in our award-winning Seafood Restaurant or in the cosy Bridge Bar - voted Munster's Best Gastro Pub in the Restaurant Association Awards - before retiring to one of our newly refurbished bedrooms for a relaxing night's sleep followed by a full Irish breakfast to set you up for a new day. As we like to say about the Moorings, it's the home of beautiful memories and we feel honoured and privileged to be in such a fortunate position where we can help create wonderful memories for our guests.
Portmagee is a unique little fishing village on the Wild Atlantic Way. It is famous for the filming of two Star Wars movies – The Last Jedi and The Force Awakens. We are a popular base for tours to The Skellig Michael and accessing the wonderful land marks around the Skellig Ring off the Ring of Kerry. Beautiful walks with breath taking cliff views.
