How to start - having spent 15 years in the hotel business, we have stayed in hotels from five to no stars. Quinlan and Cooke stands out above everything I've ever spend time in. A boutique hotel, run by a delightful Irish woman who know how to take care of customers without fuss or muss. Every room is outfitted exactly as you would outfit your own home/bathroom. Excellent amenities, great breakfast delivered directly to your room every morning, fresh fruit, croissants, juice, everything you could desire right at your fingertips. Hotel personnel go out of their way to insure a quiet and comfortable stay. Can't do better than Quinlan and Cooke. And the attached restaurant is outstanding - great menu - best fish and chips in Ireland with an absolutely best trained staff. If you are looking for an outstanding visit to a small town on the Ring Of Kerry, this is it. Kate and her crew are some of the best I've ever seen in all our travels throughout the world. This isn't a corporate hotel experience - this is genuine local boutique hotel run by a professional with exquiste taste and attention to detail. I wish her continued success. One of the best! One more thing, this is not for those who want to be pampered and looked after, this is a hotel for people who travel on their own, know how to take care of themselves, who don't need constant pampering. This is a hotel that takes special care to make sure your every need is already in place when you arrive and that the traveller is capable of embracing the caring touches put in place by the owner without the need for a butler or special staff. If you are a needy traveller, this is not for you. However, whatever your need, it will be met by Kate's outstanding staff. Enjoy and embrace this special place. You'll remember it fondly.

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.

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.PaulUnited States of America

- From $263.36 per night8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 295 reviewsBeautiful 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!KelvinAustralia
- 8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 13 reviewsThe 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.
MichaelIreland - 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.

- 9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 19 reviewsHad 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.
