The Lake hotel exceeded our expectations. The staff is super welcoming and the free breakfast buffet was shockingly good. We thought it would just be a few small things like cereals, and toast but they had so much selection as well as plenty of options that are gluten free for my wife to enjoy

Enjoyed our stay at this charming hotel

Whilst you could say the hotel could do with an update, this would detract from it’s wonderful charm and the feeling you get of enjoying a stay that you can imagine was similar to that enjoyed by the gentry of yesteryear. Reception staff were friendly and welcoming. Our room was comfortable and benefited from a stunning lake view.

This was our favourite stop of our honeymoon around Ireland. The property is breathtaking, the food is delicious with lots of options, and the staff there is top notch. Shout out to Megan at the front desk, she was fantastic and incredibly helpful and friendly. We will certainly recommend this hotel to everyone we know and plan to come back again! Cheers

We were very shocked and disappointed that they swapped our booked lake view room to a no visitor ew ordinary room and charged us the same price for the lake view room. After so many hours driving we thoroughly got we came to a zen resting place. After Expedia’s partial help they “upgrade” us to a large parking lot view room and eventually next night to a “lake view” in the far far end. Can’t say how stressed we were. Sad

This hotel stay was just what we needed in the midst of a busy travel schedule. The grounds are stunning and the hotel is out side of the city hustle and bustle. Nestled on the stunning lake with breathing views. The room we stayed in was large and spacious with a tub and balcony. This is a must stay in Killarney.

Lovely hotel in a great location

Lovely hotel in a fantastic location with gorgeous views. Breakfast was fantastic and great musicians playing in the evenings. They also make great cocktails. We just had one evening meal there which was quite disappointing, chicken wings and seafood linguini were both very bland. We might have just got unlucky with our choice. Love the work the hotel is doing to be more sustainable, particularly replacing water in the rooms with water stations around the hotel. However, I was shocked and disappointed to see disposable coffee cups left out for guests to take from the restaurant after breakfast given Killarney is working so hard to replace disposal cups with keep cups. The only time I saw a disposable cup while in Killarney was around the hotel. Easy to solve, just have keep cups with a deposit for guests.
