Kielty's of Kerry Bed and Breakfast, hotel in Waterville

Featuring a garden and views of sea, Kielty's of Kerry Bed and Breakfast is a recently renovated bed and breakfast located in Waterville, 1.1 km from Waterville Beach.

The cooked breakfast was delicious, and there was also fruit salad, fruit, yoghurt etc to choose from. The accomodation was spotlessly clean and tidy. The rooms were large and the bed was comfy. The breakfast room was beautiful, bright and cheerful. Our host recommended dinner at OhMaryLou restaurant. It was a short walk away, and the food was excellent.

Holiday Home Waterville, hotel in Waterville

Located in Waterville and only 800 metres from Waterville Beach, Holiday Home Waterville provides accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking.

-The House is situated just off "Waterfield Centre", half a mile from the shops the pubs and the bay! Don't be too excited with centre as it is a small town! We were expecting many more people as it was the weekend of WTF, multiples trails in the countryside! Was lovely, very local and friendly! The house is semi detached, big-a bit too big as it is quite empty especially the kitchen! At the end, it is functional but not cozy! Three bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a mud room. A small Garden (4x8 m) with three comfy chairs and a wooden table to picnic. Not a lot of privacy but very well appreciated because it was very sunny and the garden is full south so sun from morning to evening! The bedrooms where cute and welcoming. Good Beds though on the short side lengthwise (we are not very large people). THere is a Very good restaurant of fresh pasta and seafood called oh MaryLou, I where you can also do takeaway. The pub "The lobster" was also great for fish and chips and burgers. The location is excellent! Very quiet, night and day. THe bay was very welcome. Beach of sand and peables. THe local authority encourages to pick up 3 pieces of plastic for home recycling to keep the beach nice and clean. I loved it! I did it but did find only small fragments. It works!

    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 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.

    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.

    Fabulous experience in an idyllic setting. Incredibly beautiful views, especially if you like sheep and the world of fiber. The house was immaculate, comfortable and charming. Our host's parents gave us a phenomenal tour of their sheep farm. Our 3 hours with Timothy and Kitty was one of the most heartwarming times we had in Ireland. I'd return to Hidden Hills in a heartbeat.

    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).
