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.

We didn't spend a lot of time. It was more a pit stop. We only came in after dark,and left by 10-11am the next day. It was fine,no issues. Would have loved to try the restaurant but it's only open during the summer/ spring I believe. Fairly oldish building,but looks decent,and clean. The owners were kind enough to upgrade our room. Special thanks for that. Hope to visit at some point in the future 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.

    The accommodation was excellent with everything I needed. Martha, the host, was brilliant. I would highly recommend this place and location. The scenery was breathtaking, and I would rate it the best I've experienced. Valentia Island is a must, as is Derrynane house and beach. There are so many other scenic spots it's hard to describe it. Further on, sneem is worth a visit. Waterville is unspoilt with great pubs and eateries. The local supermarket caters for all needs. I'll be back.
