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!!!

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

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.
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.
Had a fantastic stay here with group of friends on our Skellig Michael trip. We got a warm welcome from our hosts on arrival. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfy. Breakfast was fantastic too, they catered for everyone and we had a group of meat eaters and vegetarians. I would not hesitate to return here when I'm back in Kerry. Thank you for such an enjoyable stay!
Very well equipped and comfortable accomodation. Nicely laid out so gardens felt private. Use of bikes a nice extra too. Fantastic location a couple mins from Waterville beach. All very clean!!
Absolutely loved this part of Kerry - loads of lovely walks along the coast and really nice pubs and restaurants near. Handy shops in Waterville too. Woukd recommend 100%!
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.
The location of the property and the views from it were excellent. We found the property to be an good base for exploring the local area and also the ring of Kerry. It has good safe parking, is reasonably quiet, and is within easy walking distance of the good facilities in Waterville.
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!
It's a beautiful B&B, more like a hotel than some hotels I've stayed in. The fresh bread, coffee and pancakes for breakfast are AMAZING. The shower in the room was lovely and everything was really modern. Will definitely be re-booking next time I'm down
Perfect place for a night on the ring of Kerry. We loved it !
Beautiful ligation and the staff were very helpful. The breakfast was fantastic. We missed having dinner there as they were closed for dinner that night.
This is a charming historic hotel that is maintained very tastefully. The views out to sea from the rooms are beautiful, the staff was very friendly, the wine list is excellent, and the breakfast was wonderful!
Our room was clean and quiet, the location is wonderful and we really enjoyed Waterville. On top of that the restaurant "OhMaryLoo" was excellent and super convenient for a tasty and delicious dinner.
The view! Also the comfortable beds and friendly staff. The hotel is on the sea front in Waterville. We had a wonderful sea view from our bedroom, and a little balcony to enjoy the sea air.
Very clean and comfortable hotel in a wonderful location. Staff were friendly and helpful, and lovely food. Particularly love the option to have fish for breakfast! Thank you.
