Loved this stop, it was our favorite hotel of a 2 week trip. Great food, staff, & scenery. Do yourself a favor, skip staying right downtown and stay here for the R&R. Very easy transport or bike ride to downtown Killarney

Lovely hotel. The setting on the lake is second to none. You really feel you are getting away from it all. We saw deer outside our bedroom window in our stay. Go for a lake view room, it’s worth it!

Beautiful and peaceful location on the lake near Killarney. There is a castle ruins on the grounds and with a luck you will see some deer...we did. Room was clean and comfortable, the staff were friendly, breakfast was great with plenty of choices to meet everyones needs. The concierge was very helpful with sightseeing recommendations. This is the perfect location for the Ring of Kerry. Highly recommended...we would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful hotel set in a stunning lakeside location ! Staff are very friendly and helpful. The Thermal Suite was super duper and it was the highlight for our stay! We had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant with a stunning lake view which its food was excellent! Took away one star for cleanliness as there were leftover room service food on trays in corridors when we arrived to after our dinner. Room was super clean and cleaning staff in morning did a beautiful job to clear, clean and made the interior all shining again.
