Sea Villa

Sea Villa is a wonderful accommodation, base for visiting the Beara, and destination unto itself. We had originally booked for two nights and enjoyed our stay so much that we altered our plans so that we could stay two more days. This was our most memorable accommodation during a month in Ireland. The elements that contribute to the top rating cover the board: comfort, cleanliness, food, location, and most notably—hospitality. Mary and John own and run the B&B and are two of the finest, most engaging folks that we have met in years of staying at small inns/B&Bs. The breakfasts and suppers were excellent (John was harvesting fresh mussels while we were there). They had great suggestions for hikes, other dining options, and activities. The location is a lovely rural setting near the sea, on the Beara Way just outside of Ardgroom, and easy driving to Dursey and Bere Islands and other towns and sites of interest. Oh, and not to be missed is the local pub in Ardgroom, the Village Inn, with a warm fireplace, cozy setting, and great local conversation. We do recommend the seaside hikes right out of the B&B.

Sea Villa is the best B/B that we have ever visited. Beautifully situated near Ardgroom Harbour near Allihies and Eyeries and a short drive to Castletownbere and Kenmare. The rooms are beautifuuly furnished and very comforable . We were lucky to have a patio door leading to the garden and car park. The hosts, Mary and John, were so welcoming, informative and hospitable. We had a beautiful, dry fried Irish breakfast most mornings but there were so many choices, including salmon. John fishes locally so we availed of fresh mussels served with garlic and locally sourced delicious brown bread. There were nightly drinks left for each guest in the rooms...lovely surprise ! and lunch / evening/ beverages and evening meals available on request.. Highly recommendable ....

Our room and bathroom were spotless. It was a great place to stay. Mary and John took great care of the place and made our stay a wonderful experience. The place was great but the best part of our stay was the breakfast in the morning. Mary and John were a great host as not only was our breakfast delicious but the information they shared about the area was very interesting as well. We highly recommend this special place for an overnight or longer stay and we would love to visit again soon! Pom and Dan from Killarney, Ireland

On our walk on the Beara Way, we found shelter from the storm and rain by the lovely Irish Jon and Mary. They welcomed us warmly and cordially. For dinner thy fed us with very tasty prepared dishes, and we got freshly caught mussels from Jons musselfarm. The two of them are extremely warm-hearted and friendly and take the best of care of you. After an amazing night in fluffy beds, we got a rich and freshly prepared breakfast and a lunch for the continuing walk. They will definitely stay in our heads and hearts with their warmth manner.

Sea Villa has undoubtedly the friendliest, most accommodating hosts we've ever experienced. It's a lovely place, quite comfortable with very nice linens. They do not overlook any detail: the meals are served on elegant matching china and are deliciously prepared. The fresh mussels were magnificent. We returned to our comfortable room to find lighted candles and a night cap. It is the finest B&B we've found in our extensive travels in Ireland, perhaps the best anywhere.

We are very grateful that we were allowed to be guests in Mary's and John's wonderful B&B. We really enjoyed their kindness, Mary's cooking skills and John's delicious fresh mussels. We will always remember our stay at Seavilla in Ardgroom with great pleasure. Many thanks also for the delicious sleeping aids and sightseeing tips.
