The Smerwick Harbour Hotel is a bit of a misnomer as it is located a couple of kilometers from the coast in a boggy field. It is in need of refurbishment as the public areas, bedrooms and bathrooms are all a bit tired. The hair dryer in the bedroom wasn't working and we had constant difficulty unlocking our door with the swipecard.
On the positive side, our room was substantial with a double and two single beds. There was tea/coffee making facility in our room but we had to go to the lobby or bar to access the free wifi. The only meal we had in the restaurant was breakfast which was substantial.
The hotel has lots of parking space. Best of all this hotel is strategically positioned to tour the Dingle Peninsular, one of the most beautiful locations in the World.

We have stayed in the Smerwick Harbour hotel several times and have always loved it. It is not the poshest hotel in the world but the staff are really lovely and the rooms, whilst they may be in need of a little refurbishment, are spacious and very clean. We bore in mind this year that we were actually paying less than most average B+Bs!

With this in mind, it was easy to do with a towel less - the bathroom was spotless and there were plenty of toiletries. The breakfast was plentiful - there was a fruitbowl, cereal, some yoghurt, brown bread baked on the premises - in addition to the usual full Irish breakfast of various combinations of eggs, rashers, sausages, black and white pudding etc. The hot breakfast was served at the table rather than having to collect it yourself as is usual on the continent and elsewhere.

The hotel is ideally placed to avail of the Blasket Heritage Centre in Dunquin and to explore the whole peninsula, drive the ring of Kerry, etc. Dingle is only a few miles away and it is easy to book a different restaurant there every evening for dinner. Highly recommend the Smerwick harbour as a great base for exploring Kerry. Will be back again, I hope.

Situated in the middle of nowhere. I became suspicious when I saw nobody else there, soon found out why. In spite of nobody being there, myself and the wife were still waiting about an hour at reception. I wouldn't mind if the receptionist was friendly. We arrived up to a very cold room, and woke up to an even colder breakfast... with only the one rasher and two sausages, no sign of a hash brown. Tomato was questionable.

I'd sooner stay the night in the Lebanon.

went to kerry for a few days booked hotel online when we arrived had to wait nearly an hour to check in there wasnt enough towels in the room the breakfast was cold and only one of the waitress was friendly cause the receptionist certanily wasnt and no information leaflets in hotel of places to visit in dingle and there was some beautifull palces to visit it said on website it was family hotel well there cetanily wasnt anything to entertain a child so wont be return to that hotel but will return to kerry it was breath taking
