Real Guest Reviews & Ratings

What Previous Guests Had to Say

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the Minerva Guesthouse's fantastic location, just steps away from the beach and with wonderful views of the beach and Killacourt; several rooms feature sea views from double windows or marvelous balconies, and are equipped with amenities such as Smart TVs and mini-fridges. Breakfast is another highlight, described as excellent with plenty of choices and well-cooked options. Some guests have noted squeaky floorboards as a minor disturbance, but this doesn't detract from the generally positive experience of spacious family rooms and modern en suite bathrooms.

useful fridgetasty breakfasthelpful hostfire alarm

The room had a fridge, it was a nice touch. Breakfast was tasty, with a full English option available. The hosts were friendly and helpful. The hotel also provided a secure location around the back of the hotel for storing surfboards and wetsuits.

The fire alarm went off for a long time. I couldn't get back to sleep. No management was, and there was no apology for what happened. It was disappointing.

The hotel offers a secure area at the back for storing surfing equipment. This is very useful. I appreciated the convenience of having a fridge in my room for keeping drinks and snacks cold.
