Nicest place we stayed in our visit to Ireland. The old hotel was in amazing condition and the views of Lake Killarney from our room were incredible. Also, the morning buffet was most delightful. Lots of options to choose from. Will definitely recommend this hotel to our friends that travel to Ireland.

This place was absolutely flawless. A gorgeous hotel with a gorgeous surrounding area. Absolutely loved my time here. Was about 2 miles from the center of Kilarney so didn't make walking impossible, but it would be a trek for those with challenges walking.

Staff was very friendly and welcoming. They offered a variety of options for breakfast. The property was beautiful, quiet and relaxing. They had a thermal suite which offered an infinity pool, hot tub/jacuzzi and sauna rooms. This was the best part! It is an extra fee which it was worth paying for. It over looked the lake, absolutely beautiful. The bed and pillows were not that comfortable.
