The Smugglers Inn, hotel in Waterville

The Smugglers Inn overlooks the sandy beach at Ballinskelligs Bay. Most rooms have sea or mountain views and the hotel has a bar, a gourmet restaurant, free WiFi in all areas and free parking.

Simply superb. Beautifully decorated room with sea view (we were upgraded), very comfortable and good facilities. Breakfast was excellent with a wide range of choices. We had dinner in the restaurant and this was top quality with varied seafood options and a high class wine list. Service was very efficient and quick - perhaps a touch too brisk at dinner. Overall, however, hard to beat.

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.

Brú na Dromoda/Dromid Hostel, hotel in Waterville

Located in the heart of the Iveragh Peninsular, the community-run Brú na Dromoda/Dromid Hostel offers free WiFi and free onsite parking. Guests have complimentary use of the onsite sports hall.

We stopped for the night during our trip on the Ring of Kerry, the hostel located about 10 km from the route, which is not much, but given the low price, I definitely recommend this place for a stop. There is a shop nearby, but there is almost nothing in it, also a small pub.

    Waterville is a quiet coastal town with good beachfront...

    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 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! 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.

    We stayed one night while we were walking the kerry way. Our room wase huge and comfortable, private bathroom very clean. Margaret is a very nice lady, we were drenched after a 3 hours walking under the rain and she offered to dry our clothes. Her daughter is a very talented shef, we had dinner at their restaurant and we ate a 5/5 stars past (we are italians, so we can say that the food was really good). They're all so kind and lovely.
