    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.

    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.

    More lively than we thought it would be in the dead of winter. It's a nice clean, well-kept town in an outstanding location by the sea. The mountains are right beside you. Plenty of places to explore.

    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!

    The 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.

    The 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.

    We stayed for a night at O Grady’s Townhouse. The location was perfect since we were exploring the Ring of Kerry. The hosts were warm, helpful and welcoming. Our rooms were immaculate and spacious too. They serve a hearty breakfast and you get a nice view of the sea from the rooms. Would absolutely recommend this place!

    Great interior design. New, modern and full of taste and lovely scent. Cosy beds and a absolutely perfect bathroom. The breakfast was outstanding a la carte. Even for spoiled people a must in Waterville. The host was kind, friendly and very service orientated. We would stay there whenever we are in Waterville.

    Comfortable and spacious cottage has everything you need for a longer self-catering stay. There are stunning views up and down the valley. Excellent location for exploring the peninsula: Skelligs ring, Valencia island, Cahersiveen, Glencar and Derrynane are nearby. The hosts are very friendly and helpful.

    Great location at the end of the peninsula. Close to sights on the Kerry coast and Valencia island. Hosts were amazing. Very welcoming and helped us understand local sites and what to see. Made our group of 9 feel like family. Eating at OhMaryLoo is a MUST. Incredible food.
