Dinner and breakfast were amazing. The hotel and Kitchen staff were very friendly and professional. The ambiance of the hotel and surroundings were calm and relaxing. Our room was clean and the beds are comfy. We would definitely return to the Smugglers inn for an other stay.

This was the best accommodation I had during my seven day trip through Kerry: Welcoming hosts, tidy and clean room, typical B&B breakfast (Irish and continental), about 15 minutes to walk to the center of Waterville.

The location was stunning. Alan, the host, was very welcoming and great craic. Loads of nice little touches such as the sunset time so we could make sure we didn't miss it. Blankets were provided to be able to sit out and watch the sunset on the balcony. Tea and coffee facilities are in the room and way above and beyond on the toiletries. Q tips, sanitary pads, wipes etc. Obviously had guest comfort in mind. Lovely breakfast in the morning to set you up for the day. Thank you so much Alan and it was lovely staying with you! Couldn't recommend enough.

The apartment is so well kitted out with everything you could think of. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable with en-suites and plenty of hot water. Location and proximity to the islands attractions couldn't be better, and to top it off the hospitalily from Enda the host is next to none.

This was truly the greatest B&B we stayed during our roadtrip through Ireland. The room (entire floor with bathroom) is very spacious, clean and offers a nice view on the seaside. The house is located a bit off the road in a quiet area. Both hosts are very kind, welcoming and provided a delicious breakfast in the morning. We would definitely come again!

    The location is absolutely stunning. It is right on the beach with fantastic views. We went for a walk at suntan was unforgettable. The hotel itself is very cosy and cute with great atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and accommodation. I would also highly recommend the restaurant. The food at dinner was great! Breakfast was also lovely. Takeaway lunch was somewhat disappointing, but not a deal-breaker. We have noted it down for our next trip and will recommend to friends!
