Seaview House Hotel

Such lovely staff -Restaurant is amazing!!! We sadly only got to stay at this quaint, picturesque hotel for one night. Every single staff member was amazing, friendly and went above and beyond for us. A tad dated -Yes. But that’s what gives it, it’s charm. Beds are huge and extremely comfortable, bathrooms are updated and have heated floors. Dinner- Amazing. We dined on the scallops, rack of lamb and black sole, all Devine!! Breakfast -Delicious. We enjoyed the best breakfast I can recall -the poached plums were amazing!! Service-EXCEPTIONAL! We will be back

A lovely, delightful hotel with a great restaurant and nice staff. Well Maintained gardens and a limited but still there a view of the sea. Breakfast was great. Drinks a bit expensive in the afternoon. Dinner was fantastic. The only thing I’d complain about was: the window in the bedroom did not open at all while the window ninths bathroom did not close :-) Firesafety ? And a few little details which would suggest a lack of staff or just an overlook. Otherwise good.

I have been visiting since 2009 and any excuse to stay in Seaview -one my favourite locations, I look forward to…. A tad dated -Yes. Comfortable-Absolutely. Food -Delicious. We enjoyed the best breakfast I can recall -even included liver and bacon, yum! Service-EXCEPTIONAL and totally delightful! In summary, we left feeling very pleased we chose Seaview and hope to return soon.

We enjoyed a return three-night visit to Seaview House, well located just outside Ballylickey, on the 'Wild Atlantic Way' and about 6 km from 'downtown' Bantry. The atmosphere is 'country house' cosy, the décor is elegant, most of the furniture is antique - or looks so - and there is a ‘bath house’ with spa services. However, the 'sea view' is quite limited, at least in summer. There is no elevator and the top floor rooms are accessed by 30 + steps. Our ‘classic single’ room was spacious, with traditional brown furniture, and the bathroom was well sized (shower over bath). Both were well-equipped. All the staff we met were pleasant and helpful. Breakfast is excellent, one of the best we have experienced, with attentive service – the well-stocked buffet is supplemented by hot food cooked to order from an extensive menu. Dinner is also very high quality. There is plentiful free parking for guests. There is no EV charger (there are some in Bantry) but the hotel offers a connection to a standard wall power outlet – helpful but very slow. Overall, an excellent base for visiting Bantry, Glengarriff and the Beara Peninsula (but install EV chargers!). Recommended.

Friendly hotel. Excellent restaurant and bar. Pets allowed. We were given a plug for our electric car overnight. Comfortable room. Good menu with local food especially seafood. Reasonable wine list. Good location. Friendly staff and good communications

A well appointed hotel in very pleasant grounds. A slightly older feel to it but lacking nothing in facilities and service. All staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. Dinner and breakfast were both splendid. We stayed for two days and it was a useful base for touring the local area and beyond.

We had a fantastic evening dinner at Seaview in late may. Food was lovely but what makes Seaview special is the service. Thanks Ronan and team - we always feel so welcome when we visit. Special thanks to Lydia and Jane who always go beyond in making our visits enjoyable

99% faultless. Everything was brilliant, especially the food. Our only minor issue was no kettle the first night. The rooms don’t have them, but they are available on request subject to availability. Having said that, we had a flask with us and they filled this a few times for us foc and provided tea, coffee etc. the second night we got a kettle. For me not to find faults is very rare, so the owners here must be doing something right! The choice of breakfast is amazing. All staff are very accommodating, especially the lady in charge of the restaurant. The bed was so comfy we actually slept later than normal. We would have no hesitation in staying here again. Thanks for the care and service you gave us.

Very dog friendly - we were given a large bedroom with direct access to the garden. Rather dated decor but spotlessly clean and comfortable bed. Excellent breakfast. Supper was less good - overcooked fish. Friendly and efficient service.
