Waterville: Waterville is situated in the heart of Ireland's most spectacular beautiful area, The Ring of Kerry.
It is famous for its world ranked golf course, its trout and salmon angling and its golden sandy beaches. Waterville lies on a narrow strip of land between the Athlantic and Lough Currane. Waterville and its surrounding area offers a number of breathtaking walks and places to see. The most scenic of these walks is the Coomakista Pass.

There are the most astounding views from this elevated site and sitting out will be a real pleasure.

Golfing and a lovely selection of pubs and restaurants are awaiting in the town that is famous for its links with Charlie Chaplin.

There is something for everyone: the craft market, the heritage site of the Skellig Islands and the main Ring of Kerry route leading to Killarney, and the idyllic scenery. This is a base for a holiday of memories and one where one visit will not be enough.

Wonderful family stay in gorgeous location
Kathleen was the perfect host and her holiday home was honestly incredible. So much space and light with beautiful views from every window. Kathleen was so accommodating when we had to add an extra guest to the party and came over to talk us through everything. The location is brilliant for exploring the Skelligs and this beautiful part of the Kerry ring All in all, it was all just standout brilliant and my only regret is that we weren't staying another week!

What can I say, an absolutely gorgeous house and what a view!! The house exceeded our expectations- we travel with 2 wheelchair users and often struggle but this house was perfect for us. Kathleen was very quick at responding to our messages and extremely helpful with all our queries. The local area was full of friendly people and so very beautiful. I would 100% recommend this place for a perfect holiday, we all would love to go again

Wonderful In Soooo Many Ways
We have fallen in love with Waterville, the (very blessed to live there) locals, the absolutely incredible Lake House (as we now call it), it’s stunning views and most especially our hosts, Kathleen and Timmy. And, we can’t forget to mention their darling dog, Freddie. What I was looking for in a house was a peat burning fire, location, views, and near a village. This is me….my husband also loved the spacious house, not that I didn’t. Timmy made certain we had plenty of peat. He even rescued a sheep that got stuck in a fence in a neighbor’s pasture that we noticed and let him know. Kathleen made sure all our needs were taken care of. They went above and beyond making our stay incredible. So many adjectives, I know…..but well deserved! Please say hello to Dan and Fiona, the owners of our favorite pub, Mick O’Dwyers. We miss everyone already! We WILL be back! Kris and Lori

A view to die for!
Secluded house with amazing views of Lough Currane; plenty of room and parking. Everything we needed was in the house. Wonderful to sit outside and picnic over the lough and then watch the sunsets late into the evening. Waterville a short drive away to shops, bars, restaurants and beach. We loved our stay there.

Idyllic
Sheep bleat peacefully in the field below, rabbits meander across the lawn, the view of the loch is entrancing from Lake House on Lake Road. Ireland treated us to warm, dry weather so we trekked Kerry Way, Skellig Bay, and the Cliffs of Kerry enjoying the emerald green hills and azure blue seas. Do you know that cows come trotting if you sing to them? Waterville County Kerry, not to be confused with the other nearby Waterville County Limerick, would seem to be “far from the madding crowd” in southwest County Kerry, but as a popular tourist stop on the Ring of Kerry, it provides both little breakfast nooks and evening fine dining. If the local grocery doesn’t meet your needs (it did ours) bigger towns and bigger stores are not far. Just two of us, we rattled around in the big house, but enjoyed the front room with an expansive view north to the loch, morning sun rays on the clouds to the right and stunning sunsets to the left. Living in always-beautiful Southern California, we looked forward to traditional cold-windy-rainy Irish weather and the peat fueled fireplace to provide a cozy spot to read and sip Red Breast Irish whiskey. But, sadly, the only rain we saw was driving back to Dublin, so we never lit the fire. Someone wrote that if they’d had more time they could have made their letter shorter, and that’s true of this review, too. Truth is, idyllic says it all.

Spent a very comfortable week in this beautifully located house that overlooks Lough Currane and is just a few minutes from Waterville village. The house is quite spacious and very well equipped. And the owner, Kathleen, couldn't be nicer or more attentive. Highly recommended.

Celebrated a special occasion in a wonderful setting.
The house is set in a fabulous location just outside of Waterville with beautiful views of the lake and sunsets. It is very spacious, clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for our family holiday. I would say the photos do not do it justice. Communication with Kathleen was excellent and she was very welcoming on arrival and when we were leaving. As a family of 8, with 3 generations from 10 to 70 years we would highly recommend this holiday home and hope to return next year!

Superb house in a great location
We enjoyed a superb week during September in Waterville. While the remnants of Tropical Storm Helene came through on the Sunday, followed by Storm Ali later in the week, we simply added some more peat to the fireplace in the living room and kept warm! The house is well equipped and very large - for two people, we simply lived downstairs and for bigger groups it must be a great place to spend time together. Kathleen was always available to answer our questions and we really appreciated her hospitality. The surrounding countryside is stunning, whether on the coast or inland towards the highest mountain range in Ireland. A special place for a very memorable holiday!

Exceeds expectations!
Kathleen’s property is beyond 5-star and the photos don’t do it justice. Her beautiful home sits well above Lough Currane, with views in all directions. If you are looking for a peaceful, quiet retreat, then this is your place. It sits just a couple of miles off the Ring of Kerry, so you get the solitude of location, but the proximity to the small, bustling sea village of Waterville. Kathleen is the perfect host who communicates immediately and is there if you have any questions. She has stocked the house with all of the essentials and is happy to furnish additional firewood and peat. Truly an idyllic spot!!
