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. Waterville Golf Links is 300 meters away and Hogs Head Golf Club is less than 2 km away.

The choice in the breakfast menu was amazing!! A two course breakfast with a variety of foods cooked to perfection. The home-made brown and white soda bread was absolutely delicious. The members of staff were so helpful and friendly. They dealt with requests in a professional, no fuss manner. We also had a family meal in the evening and once again the choice of food exceeded our expectations! I would strongly recommend the Smuggler's Inn and we will definitely be returning.

Hidden Hills Waterville is a private detached cottage on a busy sheep farm. It is located 10-minutes drive from the village of Waterville . It is situated right in the centre of the Dark Sky Reserve, ideal for stargazing. The property is also on the Ring of Kerry Route and Wild Atlantic Way.

Hidden Hills was an excellent choice. The house is beautifully situated in the countryside, quiet, surrounded by sheep pastures and with a beautiful view of the great surroundings. Sinead was a really personable hostess. We got to know her and her father as they gave us insights into the daily work of a sheep farmer (absolutely recommended!). The house itself has everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a fireplace for cozy evenings.

The Butler Arms is directly opposite the beach in Ballinskelligs Bay, Waterville. The hotel has views of the Atlantic Ocean and offers spacious rooms, a seafood restaurant and free parking.

Rooms at The Butler Arms Hotel have private bathrooms with baths and showers. Rooms also feature satellite TVs and seating areas.

Centrally located to town, actually in town, and the staff was just terrific. Nice stop at halfway point on the Ring of Kerry. Central store right at the back of the hotel and ice cream shop also. Breakfast was by order, limited but not a buffet. There is a grass courtyard outside with tables and chairs where you can order food and drinks just about all day long, the view is of the ocean and just stunning. The place gets hopping on the weekends so go early if you want outside table. The food is exceptional and plentiful. Calamari is just right. The staff works hard all day long with the tables inside and out, making sure everyone is getting what they want. Kudos to the Staff. Hit the Fishermans Bar for a nightcap, staff friendly and great fun.

The Old Cable Historic House is a Designated Milestone Heritage Site tracing its origins to The First Transatlantic Telegraph Cable from Ireland to the USA in 1866. A halfway stopping point on the Ring of Kerry, the guesthouse is 5-minutes’ walk from Waterville beach.

They are very friendly here. The food was very delicious, definitely recommended to come eat and sleep here. We told them we were going to Killarney and they gave us some tips about what we needed to see there.

In picturesque Ballinskelligs, the 19th-century Old School House B&B is nestled between sandy beaches and stunning mountains on the Wild Atlantic Way. This guest house serves home cooked breakfasts, which are prepared using fresh, local ingredients.

Visiting SW Ireland? Stay here. You will not be disappointed. Our hosts Lillian and Dominick are some of the most lovely people we’ve ever met. We arrived as guests and left three days later as friends. Singing songs and telling stories every night of our stay was such a highlight and made our trip exponentially more enjoyable. I truly hope we are able to enjoy their company again very soon.

    Food in the restaurant was out of this world. This was high end restaurant cooking at a fraction of the price. Alan was an excellent host and was the only member of the team we met. It was a little awkward at first to get a smile from him but after spending some time chatting he was great company, offered good advice and very funny. We were there cycling and Alan locked the bikes away for us in his garage and got them out in the morning.

    Fantastic food, especially the fish. The hake for breakfast was divine. The location was literally lawn, next stop beach... with stunning views. The staff were wonderful, one and all. Gillian took a personal interest in our search for a place special to us because of its family history. There was plenty to see: the nearby circular stone fort was awe inspiring, not to mention the delights of the Skellig chocolate factory and the beauty of the drive to it. We really couldn't have asked for more.
