A quality 18th century manor, Waterville House, which sits on a forty-acre estate overlooking the rugged Atlantic Ocean, is home to Ireland's most famous sea trout and salmon fishery and is the perfect base for play at Waterville Golf Links. Waterville itself of course, is renowned worldwide for its famous championship links, which has been played by most of the world's golfing legends, including Tom Watson, Tiger Woods, Mark O'Meara and the late Payne Stewart.
Apart from its inherent comfort and charm, Waterville House boasts ten beautifully appointed bedrooms. Guests can relax in the bar or take the opportunity to unwind in comfort in the hotel's sauna, steam room and outdoor heated pool. The hotel also has a unique private golf practice facility, where golfers are free to hone their games prior to tackling the beast that is Waterville Links. Located in the grounds, is one of Ireland's most famous salmon & trout fisheries. Guests may fish at their leisure and it is the perfect way to unwind following the rigours on the golf course.
Also renowned as a fishing destination, Waterville provides an excellent base for many coastal and inland tours. Situated on the Ring of Kerry, the surrounding panoramas are truly breathtaking, while some eight miles out to sea is Skellig Rock, the site of one of the world's finest examples of early Christian monastic architecture. Boat trips to the Skelligs can be arranged nearby, while an on-site interpretative centre explains what life was like on the island. A visit to Staigue Fort, an ancient stone ring fort, which commands great views, is also recommended.
