Located in the middle of Kerry it is perfect for daytrips into the ring of kerry. By car the next town is 15 minutes away, the people around are so kind and helpful. Sometimes the bar next to the Hostel is open so you can even enjoy a guiness or two with your traveller friends!

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.
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!!
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.
Quite enjoyable especially in case you are bored by 4-star hotels which all look the same, after all. Well refurbished.
In case you are in doubt (no photos) there is indeed a (small) toilet and shower in the boat, and more in the garden. Better to get instructions about how to find the place (it's in the back yard, you can see it from the satellite view on google maps as a light blue thing)
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.
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.
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!
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!
Food in the hotel, whether breakfast or dinner, is top class. This is complimented by warm and friendly staff, who look as if they really enjoy working in a really great hotel, which itself is full of real charm.
Great location, wonderful view of the beach and coastline. Very nice staff in the hotel and the attached pub. The breakfasts were wonderful and the wait staff attentive.
Excellent room & bathroom. Hosts were great breakfast was spot on. Would stay again if visiting south Kerry. Great location if you're going to play Waterville links.
