Kielty's of Kerry Bed and Breakfast, hotel in Waterville

Featuring a garden and views of sea, Kielty's of Kerry Bed and Breakfast is a recently renovated bed and breakfast located in Waterville, 1.1 km from Waterville Beach.

Kieltys is All you could want in a B&B. Excellent warm welcome from the hosts who are more than happy to chat with you and share helpful local knowledge. Rooms (and beds) are extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. Maximum ten/twelve minutes walk to the centre of Waterville on well lit road. Lovely tasty breakfast with very good choice. All in all better than a top class hotel and much much better value. Definitely stay again.

    Waterville is a quiet coastal town with good beachfront walks, nice restaurants and spectacular views. We ate in the Butlers arms hotel pub and had deliciously cooked fish and chips. Took a lovely seafront walk and stopped for a drink in the popular Lobster bar and restaurant where the food looked and smelled delicious, noted for next time. Waterville was ideal for a one night stay to get away from it all or as a quiet stop when touring the ring of Kerry.

    Great property , very peaceful and remote , short drive to shops/beach /river . All facilities are provided , very comfortable. Only real gripe would be lack of choice /channels on TV , could do with having Netflix or something ( especially if you have children to keep entertained!! 😜) over all , very happy with the property and would happily stay there again .

    Waterville is a pretty little village in kerry dark sky...

    Waterville is a pretty little village in kerry dark sky reserve and close to kerry cliffs. Friendly people but not a lot to do. Excellent guinness beef stew at Dooley's. Would not recommend Darc apartments. - 3rd bedroom was like a closet and very uncomfortable cot to sleep on. 2 bathrooms- one toilet was out of order and no water pressure in either shower. Could have been cleaner - used bars of soap in bathrooms..Tv not hooked up and other than helping us find the unit , which was poorly marked- owner of unit did not respond to inquiries from us regarding plumbing, tv etc. Location was convenient

    It was beautiful!!! Great location and service and food!

    It was beautiful!!! Great location and service and food! Lovely clean room & new en suite. Room has ocean front view and you can fall asleep looking at the stars! There is also a lounge to watch the sunset! You really need a car for Waterville to get to Smuggler’s Inn.

    Quite enjoyable especially in case you are bored by 4-star hotels which all look the same, after all. Well refurbished. In case you are in doubt (no photos) there is indeed a (small) toilet and shower in the boat, and more in the garden. Better to get instructions about how to find the place (it's in the back yard, you can see it from the satellite view on google maps as a light blue thing)

    Nikki and Gabriel were wonderful hosts and their B&B is charming and comfortable. Our room was clean, spacious and we had all the accessories we needed. Breakfast was also very delicious! We would’ve happily stayed for a few more days, which we’ll definitely do when we visit Ireland next time.

    The location of the property and the views from it were excellent. We found the property to be an good base for exploring the local area and also the ring of Kerry. It has good safe parking, is reasonably quiet, and is within easy walking distance of the good facilities in Waterville.

    I made a number of bookings for my husband doing the Kerry way and both of us are seasoned experienced travellers . NEVER I COME ACROSS A MORE ARROGANT UNHELPFUL ESTABLISHMENT . They WOULD NOT accept a working legitimate credit card
