We loved the adjoining rooms with the bathroom in between.. perfect for our family with 2 tween boys!! Location was fab..walking distance to pubs and shops and the seafront. Great base for further exploring. Hosts were incredibly friendly and accommodating. We look forward to a return visit in the future.

Bisque was amazing. Restaurant food and wine options very good. Excellent service in the restaurant. Prices really ok too. Breakfast in room as such ok, same menu every morning was not great. More pieces of bread would be good, too limited. Would have preferred a full Irish breakfast in the restaurant. The breakfast solution in room not really great at all

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

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.
We stayed at the Smugglers Inn 26-28 Aug. We had a beautiful room, large bed (for 6ft 4in hubby), very comfortable. Bathroom was lovely, great shower.
The views across the water was amazing. The food was delicious.
The staff were just wonderful! Friendly and efficient, nothing was too much trouble. Special Hello to Gillian, the lovely receptionist.
We would definitely recommend the Smugglers Inn...and will definitely return to be pampered and looked after again!
Everything was just fantastic. The staff are the jewels in this hotel!
This place isn't just beautiful, it's a whole experience! The house is so lovely, comfortable and warm! The decor is wonderful, and it has everything you need! It's so GORGEOUS, AND THE SHEEP ARE SO CUTE! The surrounding settings with the mountains and the valleys is literally incredible! Please just stay here, it's peaceful and Sinead and her father Timothy are lovely and kind. It's all you need! 💚🤍🧡
It's also just 10 min from Waterville which is an adorable town with lots to offer!
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.
Gabe and Nikki were AWESOME hosts. They greeted us at the door the moment we arrived with smiles a kindness. The breakfast was made to order and they nailed it. The banana bread..Holy smokes, it was DELICIOUS!!!! These two really make you feel at home. My sister and I were so fortunate to meet such wonderful people on our first visit to Ireland. ☘️ I highly recommend you stay here. P.S I NEVER write reviews! This is how great Niki annd Gabe are!!
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 here so that we'd be close to the departure point for our trip to Skellig Michael out of Portmagee, and it turned out to be a very convenient location with great views. The room was clean and well-appointed, and a good size for three people. Being able to book a room with three beds was excellent. Everyone we interacted with from the hotel was friendly and accommodating.
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.
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).
Margaret and Alan are a Lovely friendly couple. They could not do enough for us to make us feel welcome. The befroom was bright cheery and spotless as was the bathroom. We had a superb evening meal cooked by their daughter. Waterville and area is a super place the pearl of Kerry. Well worth a visit.
A lovely b&b with all the essentials ideally located on the ring of kerry. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating especially with our early rise in the morning.
10 min walk from the centre of the village with some lovely restaurants and dynamic pub music to enjoy.
Excellent property, wonderfully updated. Fantastic beds and Showers. Great breakfast!! Perfect location on the water. We were so pleased that we extended our stay a day. This is by far the nicest place we have stayed while hiking the Kerry way. We highly recommend it!
It's a beautiful B&B, more like a hotel than some hotels I've stayed in. The fresh bread, coffee and pancakes for breakfast are AMAZING. The shower in the room was lovely and everything was really modern. Will definitely be re-booking next time I'm down
Excellent location so close to Waterville with the most magnificent view of the lake and lovely quiet roads to walk. Also had a lovely patio and picnic table to sit and enjoy the view.
The Wyatt Hotel is a great place to stay. It’s situated right where we wanted to be, in walking distance to everything. The Sunday night music session was wonderful!
The breakfast was OK. The rashers were'burnt or starchy, the eggs were good. I would suggest serving 'real' coffee.
The scenery is probably the best in Ireland.
