    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.

    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.

    The location is absolutely stunning. It is right on the beach with fantastic views. We went for a walk at suntan was unforgettable. The hotel itself is very cosy and cute with great atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and accommodation. I would also highly recommend the restaurant. The food at dinner was great! Breakfast was also lovely. Takeaway lunch was somewhat disappointing, but not a deal-breaker. We have noted it down for our next trip and will recommend to friends!

    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.

    Had a remote country feel, plenty of room for a family or a few couples. The mountain drive through the middle of The Ring of Kerry was gorgeous. We got takeout in the town (everything closes early off season so make sure you go before 4pm) Host left plenty of wood for a fire in the wood stove, but no matches, so if its winter make sure to bring some as the night was stormy and it was chilly. Great house would stay again.

    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.

    Fantastic, accessible location just outside the main part of Waterville. Mary the proprietor couldn’t have been sweeter or more helpful with making dinner recommendations and securing us a reservation. The breakfast menu offered many delicious options (including full Irish, salmon and eggs, and pancakes).

    The location of the property and the views from it were excellent. We found the property to be an good base for exploring the local area and also the ring of Kerry. It has good safe parking, is reasonably quiet, and is within easy walking distance of the good facilities in Waterville.

    Located a short distance from downtown and an easy drive to Waterville championship golf course, and Portmagee (Skellig Michael experience). Rooms were clean and the view was excellent if your room was on the side facing the ocean. Pancakes were top notch!

    The view! Also the comfortable beds and friendly staff. The hotel is on the sea front in Waterville. We had a wonderful sea view from our bedroom, and a little balcony to enjoy the sea air.
