    Beautiful location incredible the detelict properties need back to functionimg

    location

    Most of the properties on the sea front were derelict and for sale (but no actively) 1 pass property so 70% of properties on the sea front not adding anything to the community.

    A very nice inn in a simple little town. Beautiful ocean view.

    A lovely inn. There is not much to see and do in Waterville but the food and ice cream are exceptional and the service here very good. It was more pricey and I thought it would be more of a resort type hotel but it was better than any place we’ve stayed in Ireland and we would probably stay here again.

    The town is very small. My husband had a good day playing golf while o sat in a lovely lobby and read a book. Very relaxing.

    far too expensive for what we got, B&B would be comparable. good location

    1 night 2 rooms, on the ocean line, nicely designed interior, breakfast above average, ocean view, helpful staff, wide bed and blanket, room size was sufficient

    far too expensive for what we got, asked to use pull/billiard but I was told it is reserved - no one appeared at the 30min we were there, arrived at night - not easy to identify the place, breakfast did not include any vegetable
