Clean, spacious reasonably priced accommodation. 7 mins walk to the village, good butcher there, and nice pubs to meet and interact with the friendly locals and other tourists. Great base for cycling, climbing and sea swimming. Derrynane is beautiful, Hogshead is worth the walk, Ballinskelligs route around to Valentia is a great cycle, Valentia itself is great, Knightstown has a lovely vibe, and the ferry across to Caherciveen puts you back on the main road, for an easy cycle back into Waterville. Caherciveen is a lovely town, the old barracks is lovely, and there are nice beaches and stone forts across the bridge. Nice pubs in the town too. The Kerry way is excellent, and doing a single leg of it with a picnic would be a lovely day out. I did Mastergeehy to Coars school, was a 6k walk that anyone could do, on a well marked route. So much to do there if you have the appetite for it.
