We had such a lovely weekend in this fantastic warm and friendly, family run hotel. It has an old fashioned elegance which made us feel most comfortable and a part of the family, which is lacking from the majority of modern hotels. The food is excellent, especially the fresh fish straight from the sea. The staff are so amicable, helpful... More

My wife and I recently stayed at this beautiful hotel in the lovely village of Waterville. We were supposed to keep going on the Ring to Kenmare but as we drove through Waterville, we were so impressed with this beautiful village that we decided to stop and check out the accommodation in the area, where we came across the Butler...
