The following year, eight new rooms were added to the Moorings Guesthouse with the emphasis on space, style and comfort.2006 saw the refurbishment of the original accommodation area and the addition of a further 5 rooms above the new Gift Shop, 'Cois Cuain'.
The Moorings Guesthouse "Best described as a restaurant with rooms, perhaps even a boutique hotel" now offers 4 stylish seaview mini suites complete with jacuzzi baths and 12 spacious rooms to accommodate our valued guests whether they be singles, couples or families.
Everyone can be assured of a warm welcome and the highest standards of efficiency and attention to detail.In 2015 & 2017, Star Wars, The Force Awakens & The Last Jedi, were filmed on Skellig Michael in Portmagee.

During the time of filming, the village was alive with media, journalists and Star Wars fans.
