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.

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 Old School House B&B, hotel in Waterville

In picturesque Ballinskelligs, the 19th-century Old School House B&B is nestled between sandy beaches and stunning mountains on the Wild Atlantic Way.

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!!!

Quinlan & Cooke Boutique Townhouse and QCs Seafood Restaurant, hotel in Waterville

Quinlan & Cooke Boutique Townhouse, formerly QC's, is family-run and located in Cahersiveen on The Wild Atlantic Way.

The property was modern, clean, and cozy. We were very comfortable there! We got a flat tire and had to arrive late and the owner Kate was so kind and accommodating to us when we arrived, even made sure we got dinner even though the restaurant was closed. She was even checking on us to make sure we were okay through the whole event. She is such a lovely person!

    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 restaurant at the hotel is very good. It boasts expansive windows with a water view. There is a large living room area with open fireplace. Another fireplace blazes at the reception area plus a third in the handsome bar. Our room had a comfortable bed as well as plenty of space and a good view. Parking is just behind the hotel and is free. A tip about the area-make sure you do the Skellig Ring Drive and get out for the walk to the view. It is the best part of the Ring.

    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.

    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.

    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).
