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 convenientAAnonymous - 10Scored 10

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.AAnonymous - 10Scored 10

I thought people in Waterville very friendly and helpful. The promenade is a lovely opportunity for a walk along the sea! Interesting to read about Mick O'Dwyer and Charley Chaplin linked to this small seaside town! The scenery around Waterville is spectacular.

PattyUnited States - 8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 111 reviewsThe room was perfect, immaculate and comfortable. Beautiful view of the lake. The hosts were extremely helpful and accommodating. Location is great, Waterville has plenty of nice bars and restaurants, and it's a short drive south to beautiful Caherdaniel/Derrynane beach or North to Valentia Island/ Skellig ring/ Cahershiveen or Kells. Great value for money. Fishing is good on the lake. Even with little experience on a hot day, I caught a fish within 20 minutes of casting.

- From £235.69 per night8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 293 reviewsThe location of the hotel is excellent - within walking distance to the village. There is a lovely bayside walking path in front of the hotel, and the views of the bay are spectacular. The breakfast was very good, but could have used more cold options, i.e. cereals, yogurt, and fruits. The rooms were large with wonderful 3-directional views from floor to ceiling windows in the little sitting area. The history of Butler Arms is fascinating.Margaret & Robert TysonUnited States
