Guest Reviews

• Rachel (9/5): We loved it, the breakfasts were fantastic and also we had a delicious meal one evening, expensive but the food was very - Fabulous location, lovely staff. Rooms were quite small but comfortable.
• Florence (9/5): Étape magique et unique, très authentique - Incroyable emplacement sur cette pointe face à la mer . Sentiment d’être au bout du monde ! Personnel très gentil ! Jeune barman très compétent Déco de la chambre et du resto un peu vieillissante
• Gareth (9/5): -
• Jean (10/5): Fantastic! - The breathtaking views are stunning. Jillian, who greeted us, was so lovely and helpful.
• Zoe (10/5): 10/10 all down to the people , ill definatly visit again - The staff are exceptional. So friendly and welcoming. Perfect location and views of the sea. The food was also excellent, best Monkfish I’ve tasted 🙏 Nothing it was fantastic 🙏
• Jafe (10/5): This a real gem of a place. - This is just a perfect place. The views the decor, the staff are great. We were met by Gillian who was charming and efficient. In the restaurant we were looked after by Charles and Darragh, and Tomas was an excellent barman This is a small criticism but worth noting . The restaurant is beautiful and the food is excellent but use paper napkins!
• Christoph (4/5): -
• Matthias (9/5): -
• Kathryn (10/5): Excellent stay, would recommend - Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms comfortable and good size. Food in restaurant fantastic and amazing view over the beach N/A
• Julia (9/5): -
• HAYES (10/5): Just right. A great place to stay with fantastic views. - A great location, warm welcome and good service. The room was spacious and had just been renovated. The evening meal and breakfast were excellent. A great place to stay
• Ann (10/5): - The food was phenomenal, both dinner & breakfast! The location and view of the sea from our room made for a perfect relaxing vacation spot. The decor was lovely & the staff were so warm and welcoming. We loved it all!
• Bardia (10/5): -
• martin (9/5): -

• Ross (8/5): -
• Václav (10/5): - Everything.Exceptional quality and professionals
• Markus (9/5): - Wir hatten ein wunderbares Zimmer mit Blick auf das Meer. Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen. Das Restaurant hatte leider zu. Als Zwischenstation, um den Ring of Kerry zu fahren, ist das Hotel bestens geeignet. Man sollte nur wissen, dass Waterville außer zwei Restaurants ( Restaurant Lobster unerwartet gutes Abendessen, leckerer Cappuccino) ein sehr kleiner Ort ist.
• Mona (10/5): Underbart vackert ställe !! - Det var toppen
• Twomey (9/5): relaxing atmosphere, comfortable bedroom excellent food and fabulous views - Dinner was very well presented and tasty. the view of the sunset and ocean was fabulous. Breakfast was very good also. cant fault anything.
• Fionuala (9/5): Had a wonderful stay , made very welcome - Breakfast was great . Staff were wonderful. Dinner was super. Paper napkins
• Auke (8/5): Genoten van de omgeving faciliteiten en het diner. - Locatie, diner en de spa / sauna faciliteit met uitzicht op de baai waren fantastisch. Ontbijt viel tegen, helemaal vergeleken met de hoge standaard van het diner de avond ervoor. Afwerking en aankleding van het gebouw wat rommelig en eenvoudig, past niet helemaal bij de prijs/kwaliteit verhouding.
• Michael (9/5): most enjoyable stay, very comfortable room, scrumptious food, friendly staff, beautiful location - Good choice on dinner menu and food was excellent on both nights. Breakfast also excellent. The only criticism I would have is that the restaurant when busy is quite noisy.
• Sonja (8/5): Freundliche Gastgeber haben uns ein liebevolles Frühstück serviert und wertvolle Reisetipps gegeben. - Die Besitzer waren sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Sie halfen mit Reisetipps.
• Charlene (7/5): - breakfast was amazing
• James (10/5): The best place I've stayed to date , it was just perfect for me - The food lads , out of this world , nicest grub I ever had in a restraunt, both breakfast and dinner were exceptionally tasty , would definitely recommend, and I'd definitely stay there again Cant think of anything I didn't like
• Elaine (10/5): -
• Brad (10/5): Fantastic - Right on the ocean. Great food and service
• Miriam (10/5): - Lage direkt am Meer und am langen Sandstrand. Der Blick aufs Meer vom Zimmer aus war fantastisch. Das Abendessen im Restaurant war lecker und der Porridge zum Frühstück der Beste unserer Reise. Das Personal, insbesondere die Dame an der Rezeption war sehr freundlich und absolut herzlich. Wir haben viele Tipps für unsere Reise bekommen. Wir kommen definitiv wieder! -
• David (10/5): -
• Nancy kelly (9/5): - Nice property and great location. Excellent friendly staff
• Rob (9/5): Fabulous location and view. - Fabulous location overlooking the sea with an amazing sunset.
• Mª Jesus (7/5): -
• Kristi (8/5): We had a lovely stay at the Smugglers Inn, our room and bathroom were a little small but so beautiful and well appointed - Beautiful property The rooms were a little loud in the morning
• Bruce (10/5): -
• Vaario (10/5): - The food in the restaurant was amazing. The main dish which recommended by the staff of the hotel was excellent and delicious.
• Mark (10/5): Amazing view of the coast - Room, new bathroom, all glass terrace overlooking coast and the super comfortable bed. Inn staff went above and beyond in helping us. Accommodated my husband with pet allergies. This is a hidden gem and would be a fantastic venue for a small wedding or party because it is chef owned. Just an FYI most rooms have stairs so if you have knee issues ask so you are not surprised.
• Brinn Davis (10/5): - The friendlies of the Staff and the view was amazing. Room superb. Dinner was unbelievable gorgeous
• Alana (10/5): - The hotel is a very special place! We had the best meal of our entire 9-day trip through Ireland at the Smugglers Inn, as well as the best accommodations. The best part was the value - we felt that the price was well worth the experience.
• John (10/5): -
• Lorusso (10/5): -
• Helen (9/5): - The rooms were spacious, very clean and the owners configured the rooms to suit our group.
• Enda (10/5): -
• Pauline (10/5): - Our room Location Staff That we did not stay longer
• JohnCunno (9/5): A really nice establishment with great food, service and facilities - A great location, view, service and facilities
• Dawn (10/5): Hidden gem! - Beautiful peaceful location -extensive beaches on one side and mountains on other. Close to well know golf course. The restaurant was a stunning surprise. Just excellent across the board from food to venue to service. We’ve eaten all over the world and food here was exquisite. Best seafood chowder we’ve ever had.
• David (9/5): Great location, wonderful food and very friendly staff - Dinner and breakfast were very good Room was a bit small but the patio was wonderful and the view was fantastic
• Claudio (9/5): The Smugglers - Posizione incantevole sul mare Staff gentile Buona scelta per la colazione La camera per tre persone non era adeguatamente grande x starci in tre. L'Hotel ha tante camere, forse io ne avrei fatte qualcuna in meno ma più grandi.
• Véronique (9/5): - Tout le personnel était charmant, La chambre avec vue magnifique! Le dîner était délicieux
• Heidemarie (9/5): -
• Michael (10/5): -
• Tamarijnbeach (9/5): Perfect location to enjoy the area. - Staff {including the night cleaner) went out of the way to try to resolve my every concern. (I was leaving early for Skellig Michael and wanted to heat my coffee and although the office and restaurant were closed, the night custodian offered to both heat up my coffee or make me a fresh cup of coffee.) After learning that our ferry was cancelled that morning, we were able to enjoy an outstanding Breakfast here. Dinner was also very good. In my case, I would have liked breakfast to be served earlier to accommodate an early start. It was unseasonably warm during our visit and the room lacked an air conditioning unit. But we were able to get by.
• Pavla (10/5): Ubytování je ale absolutně SUPER! - Výborná snídaně Pohodlné postele Krásná lokalita Pachy z kuchyně stoupaly schodištěm nahoru k pokojům
• Tokiko (10/5): We enjoyed very much to stay and ate well. - Inn was located at beautiful coast and next to the beach. Our rooms were clean and had a beautiful view of the see. We could have just stayed in the room to enjoy the view. The staff were friendly and very nice.
• Cédric (9/5): - Literie confortable, salle de bain petite mais avec tout le nécessaire, restauration de haute qualité. Chambre sans climatisation, avec la chaleur il a fallu ouvrir la fenêtre malgré les odeurs de la cuisine mais la nuisance a cessé à la fin du service.
• Elizabeth (9/5): We had a wonderful time - Breakfast was fantastic.
• Daniele (9/5): - Posizione
• Bernard (10/5): - Everything Nothing
• Mandy (9/5): -
• Adam (10/5): Impressed - Great place, beautifully located. Dinner was fantastic.
• Ferdinandol (10/5): - Don't let the 3-star rating fool you. This was an excellent hospitality experience; the friendliness, the menu, the rooms and the beautiful setting contributed all to a great experience. Bonus points if your intention is to play golf, since you will stay 1 minute walk away from Waterville GC.
• Markus (10/5): -
• Khushroo (10/5): Definitely recommend - Great location, fantastic views. Amazing staff, particularly Lorraine and Jillian. Good food, nice rooms.

• Laura (10/5): -
• Carole (9/5): Very comfortable stay but almost London prices. - Location. Great views. Food was amazing. Overpriced, possibly as popular with Americans?

• Hollie (9/5): -
• Mª Teresa (10/5): - La ubicación, las vistas, los servicios, el trato y la hospitalidad
• Anthony (10/5): -
• Thomas (8/5): - Ausgezeichnete Lage direkt am Meer Zimmer war etwas dunkel aber sauber
• lise (5/5): Nous avons passé le moins de temps possible à l'hôtel - Literie de qualité Chambre le long du parking, petite; on sent les odeurs des cuisines. La salle de bain est toute petite, pas moderne et à peine propre.
• Jill (7/5): Bien mais un peu cher pour ce que c’est - L’emplacement face a la mer La proximité de Portmagee pour l’excursion aux îles Skellig C’est un peu cher par rapport aux autres nuitées ailleurs Petit déjeuner très léger (2 choix seulement sur la carte, portions assez petites) et prix du restaurant assez élevé Le canapé lit de la chambre familiale très inconfortable

Stunning views and will definitely be back - thank you all :)
• Ute (10/5): -
• Patrik (9/5): wunderschöne Lage direkt am Meer - Sehr schöne Lager und cooler Saunabereich
• Carole (7/5): Bien situé. Bon déjeuner mais très limité dans les quantités pour ceux qui ont un bon appétit. - Situé directement devant la baie. Belle salle à manger avec vue sur l’eau. Trop petite chambre style cabine. Pas de support pour déposer nos valises.
• Phil (10/5): This is an amazing place! - Great staff, a super location and amazing food. Nothing at all. Unfortunately there were some loud and obnoxious Americans there for dinner though…
• Mike (9/5): This is a beautiful location and the hotel is very nice. I enjoyed my stay. - The room is very nice and comfortable. The shower was really nice. The hotel is right next to the sea, and it is lovely to walk along the beach. Dinner was really good, but expensive. Breakfast was very good as well. It was expensive.
• Sofia (10/5): - Fabuloso
• Tobias (8/5): Traumhafte Lage unweit von den Cliffs of Kerry - Fantastische Lage Zimmer war etwas klein
• Todd (9/5): -
