We enjoyed this hotel mainly because of its location in the Kerry, just minutes away from Portmagee.
This allowed us to visit Skellig Michael island after standing by for 3 days for suitable landing conditions.
The location is also very good for the Skellig Ring we drove a couple of times.
About the hotel, very nice room with beautiful sea view, private parking and very good restaurant.
Hotel staff was fantastic and very helpful.

-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.
After a warm welcome, we were shown to our well appointed and pretty room with views to the ocean. Bedding was warm and comfortable. Bathrooms spacious and lovely towels. Breakfast was served in the breakfast room which was again another pretty room and breakfast was got and plentiful. Parking at the door.
BnB is close enough to town to walk.
Hosts were full of information of the local and extended areas and pleased to give advice of some lesser known areas.
I would definitely come back should I ever be in Ireland 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!
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!!
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.
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%!
Great interior design. New, modern and full of taste and lovely scent. Cosy beds and a absolutely perfect bathroom. The breakfast was outstanding a la carte. Even for spoiled people a must in Waterville. The host was kind, friendly and very service orientated. We would stay there whenever we are in Waterville.
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 place was really charming, with lovely views of the lake. The host was very helpful and let us check-in late at night (when we had troubles and couldn't make it in time). We could also use the living room and dining room with other guests. Great accommodation when visiting the Ring of Kerry.
Return trip to Carrig Oisin, love everything about this house !The location is amazing spectacular views in idyllic setting, close to beautiful derrynane beach and to waterville village. House is spacious and nicely decorated,kitchen is well equipped.Will return again next year.
The accommodation was immaculate, the staff extremely friendly, the breakfast delicious and the decor and furnishing high quality. The view from the sea view room is incredible. Highly recommend for anyone to visit Waterville and stay here.
Very friendly staff, the Irish breakfast or pancakes was a great start to the day and the Klondyke was in a great location, short walk to Waterville's centre and the beaches. I would definitely stay again.
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 from the balcony was amazing, very comfortable bed, room was immaculate and very spacious! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it especially if travelling the Ring of Kerry route!
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.
Spacious hotel close to the centre of town and associated restaurants. Easy parking. easy access to ground floor rooms. Very helpful and informative staff.
