The Old Cable Historic House is recognized as a Designated Milestone Heritage Site, with its history linked to The First Transatlantic Telegraph Cable connecting Ireland to the USA in 1866. As a midway point on the Ring of Kerry, the guesthouse is conveniently located just a 5-minute stroll from Waterville beach.

With stunning views of the ocean and the picturesque countryside, this delightful guesthouse features bright, spacious rooms equipped with Wi-Fi. Complimentary parking is also provided.

Surrounding the Old Cable House is the Kerry Dark Sky Reserve, renowned as one of the world’s premier locations for stargazing due to its unspoiled dark skies and minimal light pollution.

Waterville is famous for its exceptional sea trout and salmon fishing. Additionally, it boasts a championship-quality golf course, which is located just a 5-minute walk away.
