This property was gorgeous and the hotel is old fashioned in just the right way. Enormous room, great bed, great meal in the bistro (a vegetarian dal that was surprisingly fabulous) and a lovely staff member who helped us plan a hike in the park and gave us loads of great ideas.

Beautiful views surrounding the property. Fine dining was excellent. Deers, swans and herons using the area can't be bad. Four poster bed with balcony overlooking the castle ruins, lake and surrounding mountains.

The Lake Hotel Killarney is a must stay. The view, the atmosphere, the service, and the hotel itself are all top notch. We stayed in 5 different accommodations in Ireland and this was by far the best.

Beautiful property with lots of character. Staff is amazing, friendly and helpful. Buffet breakfast was delicious with a great variety of eggs, meats, fruits and flavored waters. Live music at the bar was incredible. Highly recommend this if you visit Killarney. The town is cute and the hotel is close to the forest for hiking and biking

This place was exquisite and we plan to return in the future. The staff was very helpful and delightful. The restaurant was outstanding for both breakfast (excellent buffet) and dinner (spectacular). The setting is beautiful and walking distance from Muckross Abby and Muckross House. The walking paths are tranquil and well kept. A beautiful place that we LOVED and highly recommend.
