The Smugglers Inn overlooks the sandy beach at Ballinskelligs Bay. Most rooms have sea or mountain views and the hotel has a bar, a gourmet restaurant, free WiFi in all areas and free parking.

Loved the location, the food (dinner and breakfast, both excellent) and the friendly staff. The room was lovely, the bed v comfortable and we loved being able to hear and see the sea.

    Really nice and clean hostel, great facilities and walking distance to the beach. It even has a long clothes line to hang bathers and towels to dry. Great communication with staff, comfortable bed and rooms. We were lucky as there were only a couple other people staying, so it was very quiet.

    The hostel was clean, spacious with a well equipped kitchen. We had a private room with ensuite which was excellent. The view from the hostel is spectacular. Our room was above the kitchen / dining area which was busy until about 11pm. So my kids were not sleeping till after that. Then enthusiastic hikers up at 6.30 for breakfast ( an hour before suggested quiet time finished) wasn't great. The laundry service is really worth the 8 euro. I'd definitely go back.

    The location was perfect. Very quiet environment, very calm hostel. It actually did not feel so much like a hostel.
