Tony Ireland“Lovely location right on the waterfront. Great bar/restaurant with superb food. Great breakfast. Clean and comfortable. Extremely friendly staff”- Margaret Ireland“Great location especially if taking the Skellig Michael tour as the harbour is directly across from the hotel.

Company information
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.
