-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!
On the famous Ring of Kerry road, Klondyke House boasts stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and Kerry Mountains, home-cooked breakfasts and free Wi-Fi.

Melissa was the perfect host. The house has been beautifully restored mixing the old with the new, our apartment had a gorgeous balcony and there was plenty of places around the grounds that we could sit out and relax. Breakfast was delicious, I would definitely recommend Tobervilla House.

The view from the dining room was spectacular. The hosts were extremely nice and helpful with information regarding the walking and places to dine. Breakfast was excellent with several selections to choose from. There was off road parking available.

We arrived at a very disorganized and dysfunctional establishment that was quite difficult to find, even with the mixed-up directions provided.
When I tried to clarify some issues with the host, she responded with, "I shouldn’t even be here, it’s my day off." This didn't address any of our concerns. I tried to change to a different room due to the confusing layout and the number of stairs, but was told they were fully booked but after pushing it, i was given a different room. Then for curiosity I checked their website and was able to book three rooms for the same night, so clearly the “we are fully booked” was debatable.
The hotel supposedly offers free parking, but we were told it’s on a first-come, first-served basis. Considering the number of rooms, many guests would likely have to struggle for street parking.
The bed was okay, but the pillows were cheap and uncomfortable. There is a fridge, but it was warmer inside the fridge than the room.
There are 12 downlights in the room, with two switches on the wall, one of which does nothing, while the other turns all 12 lights on or off at once so its all or nothing! Additionally, there are no bedside lamps, just a tiny reading lamp with very low wattage. There isn’t even a towel rail in the bathroom.
The rooms are noise transparent, noise travels heavily throughout the building so you can hear whats going on in the room above you and hallway noise is very bad. Also for a room for two people, there was only one arm chair and when asked if it was possible to get another one, we were told yes, but we never saw it which is consistent with the disorganization.
The rate is advertised as including breakfast but what is provided is a joke. A couple of pastries i. a paper bag, hung on the door overnight lol.

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

You really need a car for Waterville to get to Smuggler’s Inn.

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.
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 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%!
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 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!
It's a beautiful B&B, more like a hotel than some hotels I've stayed in. The fresh bread, coffee and pancakes for breakfast are AMAZING. The shower in the room was lovely and everything was really modern. Will definitely be re-booking next time I'm down
Perfect place for a night on the ring of Kerry. We loved it !
Beautiful ligation and the staff were very helpful. The breakfast was fantastic. We missed having dinner there as they were closed for dinner that night.
This is a charming historic hotel that is maintained very tastefully. The views out to sea from the rooms are beautiful, the staff was very friendly, the wine list is excellent, and the breakfast was wonderful!
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! Also the comfortable beds and friendly staff. The hotel is on the sea front in Waterville. We had a wonderful sea view from our bedroom, and a little balcony to enjoy the sea air.
Very clean and comfortable hotel in a wonderful location. Staff were friendly and helpful, and lovely food. Particularly love the option to have fish for breakfast! Thank you.
