This property is set up with a traveller in mind! My room was on the ground floor, and had handicapped accessible features. I loved all the surfaces in the bathroom to put my get ready stuff on. The closet was open, and I thought that made it easier for me set my things out, and not forget them.

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.
Gabe and Nikki were AWESOME hosts. They greeted us at the door the moment we arrived with smiles a kindness. The breakfast was made to order and they nailed it. The banana bread..Holy smokes, it was DELICIOUS!!!! These two really make you feel at home. My sister and I were so fortunate to meet such wonderful people on our first visit to Ireland. ☘️ I highly recommend you stay here. P.S I NEVER write reviews! This is how great Niki annd Gabe are!!
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 friendly staff. Excellent food, especially the seafood pasta which was fantastic. The breakfast selection was great and all freshly cooked to order, which was a welcome change from buffet-style everywhere else we stayed. Great place to view the stars from after a short walk away from the hotel itself as it is in a dark sky area
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.
We were originally booked into another local hotel but this was cancelled due to the refugee situation. I re-booked at The Butler Arms and we were certainly not disappointed. Lovely location and the room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good and the staff were really nice.
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!
The breakfast was really superb, five star quality! We spent a week in Kerry and it was the standout breakfast for us! Fabulous guesthouse all around, gorgeous newly renovated bathroom.
The food was fantastic the room was brilliant bed was so comfortable loved the balcony and shower was great !! The views were fantastic and the hotel itself was very quiet!!
An excellent location along the wild Atlantic coast in Kerry county. Beside the lake , behind the trees, a mesmerizing destination. Exceeded expectations. best in the area.
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.
Very nice view from the hotel!! Breakfast was good and diner in the restaurant was excellent! Rooms are clean and big enough. Employees are all very friendly!!
