I was a traveling Chef through Ireland. I loved loved the Smugglers Inn in Waterville. The food and service were absolutely wonderful. The group I was with had dinner on a Saturday and liked it so much we went back on a Monday. Typically, I do not take the time to write reviews. I just wanted to acknowledge the professionalism and hard work this team is giving to the guests. Thank You!! Inspirational Work

This is my 4th or 5th time to this restaurant and our family really enjoyed it. There are plenty of delicious selections for all. The restaurant was very accommodating to our family's vegan/gluten diet which was greatly appreciated. The location is very convenient to golfers who are playing the area's courses and, as a result, it can get a bit noisy at times.

We stayed at the Smugglers Inn, a charming seaside hotel in Waterville, Ireland, and it was a wonderful experience. The staff is welcoming and attentive, which contributes greatly to the warm atmosphere of the place.
The rooms are functional, clean, and comfortable, ideal for relaxing after a day of driving. As bikers, we also really appreciated the convenient and easily accessible parking.
The gourmet restaurant offers a small, refined menu, showcasing quality products, carefully prepared. A truly beautiful restaurant! It should be noted, however, that the prices are a little high, which may put some budgets off, even if the quality is excellent.
The establishment also offers a wellness area with a jacuzzi and sauna, accessible for €16 per hour per person. The place is pleasantly located, but it is not a private space, which can be a bit of a shame depending on your expectations. Overall, a beautiful oceanfront location, perfect for a break between stops or to enjoy a peaceful stay.
