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.

    Beautiful hotel and in a great location overlooking the ocean! We drove and found it quite easily. They had parking out the back which made it easy for us to park and enter the premises. The room was large and spacious and so was the bathroom. The hotel was connected to a bar which we found appealing for afternoon drinks! They also had various other rooms you could use such as a quiet room and a billiards room. There was lots to choose from for breakfast and it was always delicious! We had a great stay thank you!

    Great hosts, nothing too much trouble, bit of banter with the host about cutlery (long story!) Would highly recommend this b&b. Good location within easy walking distance into waterville. Room clean and cozy, huge bathroom, quiet area, fab food compliments to the chef. Restored our faith in b&b as you didn't feel like you were visiting an elderly aunts house!
