My wife and I spent an overnight night stay at the lovely Smugglers Inn, Waterville. The staff were very welcoming and friendly upon our arrival. The large double room was very clean and warm with a lovely view of the golf course and surrounding hills. Although an ocean view would have been a nicer, we were happy with the room... More

Location is 5 star - quite amazing ! Room 3 at the back of the hotel looks over the wild, exciting Atlantic Sea. Restaurant & food are recommended, but the staff seemed under pressure & needed to be more relaxed. Rooms are OK, but an update/upgrade would be really nice. Overall - the place is very good & we'd be... More

We have stayed in the Smugglers Inn in several occasions and will certainly visit again. The hospitality of the Hunt family is outstanding only surpassed by the great food prepared by chef Henry best lobster and oysters ever. The scenic location just adds to the enjoyment of your stay. Looking forward to our next visit. Brendan and Eileen Co. Kildare.

Spent a lovely night at the smugglers inn , ate at the restaurant and the food was well presented and delicious. Very friendly and accommodating staff. The views from the restaurant and most of the rooms are spectacular miles of coastline and wonderful beaches. We will return.

Just back from a 2 day break in the Smugglers inn.What a magnificent location,adjoining the glorious beach and Ballinskelligs Bay.Other reviewers have classified it as a B&B rather than a Hotel,and are probably correct.No Spa or Swinning pool(the Atlantic is 50 yards from the INN.The front overlooks the Waterville Golf Links,wher Tiger Woods,Mark O Meara,and Payne Stewart practised before winning...

Whatever the complaints are about the rooms, it has to be said that this is a B&B and not a hotel. For me, the fresh food and stunning views more than make up for the rooms' shortcomings. Where else do you know where you can sit eating a delicious breakfast and watch dolphins playing. I did on Friday morning and... More
