We stumbled upon this gem on our drive around the Ring of Kerry - best room we have ever had! Amazing 'bump out' sitting area gives you a fantastic 180 degree view of the mountains and ocean - you can even hear the ocean! If the view was not enough, also have a fireplace, and marble bathroom with heated flooring... More

We have just returned from a week long trip to waterville having stayed in the Butler after a gap of 5 years. It has definitely improved over the years and there is evidence of ongoing improvement . Rooms overlooking the bay are the ones to request as the view is lovely. The hotel bars are lively and good fun .Breakfast... More

A great stop for any traveller and any occasion. It is not the four seasons or Sheen Falls but it very good for an old hotel. The staff and food are excellent and the prices are good. The food in the bar is excellent and there are some nice spacious lounges. It is just across the road from some great... More

It is well located, reasonably priced, clean, and provides excellent services. I'd recommend it for families, honeymooners, and geezers like my wife and I. There are many areas that are suitable for sitting in front of a fire with a cognac, playing pool, having a drink, and eating a very nice meal.

Seven golfers and myself stayed here for three nights April 2013. The rooms were very nice....clean, comfortable and very well appointed. We all enjoyed the rooms! The food in the bar/restaurant was very good as was the breakfast. Louise (the owner) was extremely nice and helpful in every regard. She was a lovely young lady that did everything to make... More

About a dozen of us stopped here at The Butler arms, midway on a day cycling the Ring of Kerry, wanting a good decent lunch. And that's what we got. We sat outside by our bikes and ordered. The staff were friendly and brought our drinks out quickly. When the food arrived shortly afterwards, we were not dissapointed. I had... More

The hotel had just re-opened after their extended winter break. A friendly welcome made all the more so as we were upgraded to junior suites. Terrific views across the bay-day one superb spring weather but sadly the rain did begin to fall. Personally I love watching the mist descend and the greyness too and my stay wasn't spoiled by the...

of our 11 day trip in ireland, the town of waterville was the most charming, friendliest and most fun to visit. the butler arms helped make us feel welcome, appreciated and like at home!! especially if home was a huge huge room with lots of charm and great service. our visit started with a warm (on a chilly damp day)...

This place is very old and run down, I am not sure if all the good reviewers had had a lot to drink on the golf course prior to attending. The staff were very pleasant but seemed to be run off their feet, what with a group-10- of very loud ( Mmmm) Americans both men and women and 2 other... More
