The Butler Arms Hotel
Waterville, Co. Kerry
A family-run hotel on the seafront in Waterville, with a long tradition of welcoming golfers and anglers.
The Butler Arms has stood on the seafront at Waterville for generations, run by the same family and full of stories. Waterville itself is a small, beautiful village on the Ring of Kerry, famously loved by Charlie Chaplin, who returned here year after year. The hotel's rooms look across Ballinskelligs Bay, and the bar is the heart of the village in the evenings. It is an ideal stop for the wilder, quieter end of the Ring of Kerry and the Skellig coast.
Why We Choose It
A warm, characterful base on the Ring of Kerry, with sea views and the Skelligs on the horizon.
