Really convent place to stay as you drive and tour the Ring of Kerry. We stayed in a suite and it was super spacious, clean, amazing view of beach and bay, heated floors in the bathroom, nice soaking bathtub and a king size bed. Everything was amazing.
The Smugglers Inn overlooks the sandy beach at Ballinskelligs Bay. Most rooms have sea or mountain views and the hotel has a bar, a gourmet restaurant, free WiFi in all areas and free parking.

Dominic and Lillian are incredibly lovely people! Warm, welcoming, and we felt at home. Like staying with an Irish aunt and uncle. I wish we could have stayed there our entire trip around Southwest Ireland. Beautiful, perfect stop on the Ring of Kerry.
Lillian made a lovely breakfast of eggs and pancakes, plus yummy brown bread, delicious coffee and additional morning delights. Whilst having breakfast, Dominic cracked jokes and did some funny slide of hand. Our trip is quite intense so it was mostly a place to lay our head, and have some breakfast, but we truly wish our stay had been longer and not as face-paced so we could have more time there. Dominic was full of great suggestions on where to go next, and how best to get there (vs using Apple Maps). Shower pressure was amazing.
Upon leaving, Dominic gave us all hugs, and it made it that much harder to part ways. If you want a fantastic and interesting Ireland bed and breakfast experience, you have arrived, my friend. Thanks for everything, Lillian, Dominic, Ryan, and Phoebe!!!

Some colour like flowers on the grounds would be lovely, but the location itself more than compensated for the bland grounds

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

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.
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.
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).
Return trip to Carrig Oisin, love everything about this house !The location is amazing spectacular views in idyllic setting, close to beautiful derrynane beach and to waterville village. House is spacious and nicely decorated,kitchen is well equipped.Will return again next year.
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!
$369 for a room with a stone wall for a view.
VERY disappointing.
Serving people not taught correctly.
1 very small bar of soap in bathroom.
etc etc
I was so looking forward to this becauseI have been going to the Lake Hotel for years.
Never again
The location of this property is just outstanding.. we went for a family wedding and the church was just up the road and the hotel reception close too. Perfect facilitates. Spacious with fab views
Everything, really nice decor. The bed, cooked breakfast and shower were as good as any of the 5 star hotels you'd find in Kerry. Lives up to the luxury description at an excellent price.
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.
Spacious hotel close to the centre of town and associated restaurants. Easy parking. easy access to ground floor rooms. Very helpful and informative staff.
