Love the location room with a view of the lakes was fabulous. Food both in the bar and restaurant was a real treat. We’ve being going to the Castlerosse Hotel for the last few years always a highlight.
An amazing holiday. Gorgeous house, great family friendly facilities, must-do attractions on the doorstep, fantastic staff. I would highly recommend 🙌
We had a fantastic stay in holiday home, absolutely beautiful setting and views, staff from reception to bar/restaurant/leisure centre so nice and helpful and the food was amazing. We will be back. Thank you for our fab stay to celebrate mother's birthday.
What an amazing experience, the staff were fantastic, very helpful . Nothing was a problem, late check out of course , no problem. The kids loved the pool , the availability of toys and supplies for free was a breath of fresh air . Having stayed at another hotel in killarney earlier in the year and everything cost. The house was beautifully layed out the bedrooms were set up and so clean, extra blankets and pillows available. I would definitely recommend and will be returning.
Great stay in homely spacious holiday home with all amenities and access to the leisure centre. Easy access to Killarney and direct access to Killarney Park and Killarney Golf Course. This is the second year we have stayed here, we will be back again.
Stayed in the holiday homes, very comfortable, great location with view over the golf course and lakes. Very relaxing atmosphere. Leisure centre on site also. This was our second visit and will definitely be back.
Location is great, accommodation is slightly dated but spacious. Hot water was an issue as some days and night the water did not get hot and with 4 small children that was not pleasant.
Lovely hotel. The location is beautiful and it had great facilities for a family. My negative was the leisure centre I found the lady Ciara very abrupt and bullish in her manner. She hunted kids from the kids pool when we were there and it looked awful as their parent was sitting on the bench while she gave out as it seemed that swimming lessons were on. Then when the patent and kid(s) returned to sit back down the kids took up more seating so other adults had no where to sit. It would leave a bad taste for me as there was no need for her disrespectful approach. They are only children at the end of the day and were doing no harm.
Beautiful property, breathtaking views and the cabins were so spacious overlooking Killarney national park. Fresh air, super chill, laid back vibe with a wonderful accommodating staff to match. Pool, hot tub and sauna super clean and fantastically managed. Food and service were great! Close enough to town but far enough away. If we end up back in Killarney Castlerosse is where we will be!
Where to start? What an amazing place, the reception staff are so welcoming and the general air of the hotel itself is just so inviting. The location within the national park over looking the lakes is incredible - cycling or walking with children is a dream as there is no fear of traffic and every amenity is on your doorstep. The rooms are lovely -we had a double and 2 singles for the children and it was ideal. The complimentary shower gels, shampoo and water are a lovely touch. We stayed for 2 nights during Halloween - 2 B&B and 2 dinners and it was out of this world. It was amazing value for the money and the dining experience was fabulous. Breakfast was lovely with a well stocked buffet or a hot menu of special orders. A great selection of all manor of breakfast foods, cereals/ breads/ cakes. Beautiful fresh fruit, yoghurt, cheeses and meat. very well maintained, refilled and excellent service from being seated to being served. The dinner menu changed every night and there was a gorgeous selection of food - fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. Our two children had the Salmon both nights and they were delighted, which is not an easy feat. Service from the waiting staff was excellent - they were friendly and courteous at all times. The leisure centre pool is great and very child friendly. There is a kids club though we did not avail. Overall a brilliant experience, we will most definitely be back, in fact I cannot wait.
1st break away since our youngest daughter fell gravely last year, and the fact that she has medical needs now. As it was hard to book an interconeting room for more than 1 night thought it best to book 1 of their self catering cottages. It was perfect considering all the medical equipment & supplies we had with us. Our daughter was nervous in going away but by the time we were checking out she didn't to leave. The only complanits, it wasn't a long enough & the waeather which can't be helped.
As always, absolutely fantastic stay. We stayed in the woodland cottages. Spotlessly clean. Lovely layout. Has everything you could need. Used facilities of leisure centre and bike hire. Ate in bar twice. Tim was absolutely fantastic. Great service, staff all very friendly and efficient. I would definitely recommend having at least one meal in the bar. The view is amazing. Food is lovely and good choice. Tim runs the bar/restaurant so well and it is spotlessly clean.
The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, the cleanliness and comfort of the hotel and the leisure centre. Breakfast is perfect!
Failure o have hot water until after 8 am is not acceptable and failure to tell us this at check in made the situation worse. Laundry was charged to me that was paid for in cash. Katie at front desk was very helpful with tour set-up
We have just returned from our 4th visit to the Castlerosse Park Resort in Killarney. There were 3 generations in our party and we all enjoyed our visit so much. There is something for everyone to do here. The kids loved the pool in the leisure centre. the Moms and Dads had a round of golf on the renowned golf course and the grandparents loved the walks in the national park on the grounds. We all enjoyed the ambience and the welcoming staff in the hotel. Every one of them was friendly ,helpful and so nice. Nothing was too much trouble.The beds were comfortable and the rooms very quiet. The food was delicious and plentiful. Lastly,there was no shortage of safe parking.We have already booked our next visit.!
Helpful staff after late arrival
We were a mixed group and took a Golf Lodge (2 large double/twin rooms en suite) a woodland setting cottage with 2 Double rooms and 2 hotel bedrooms. All were spotless, well appointed with a couple of minutes walk to the hotel facilities, restaurant, bar, leisure centre, golf, bike hire and all overlooking the Lakes of Killarney in the National Park. Killarney is a 5 minute drive away and the 2 x 18 hole championship courses next door to the Castlerosse. There is always an option to stay and Kenmare House we did look at it but for our dynamics it was not the right fit this time - its sleeps 14 in luxury
This is our second visit. Last year we stayed in one of the hotel rooms and this time, because it was more cost effective, we were booked into one of the hotel's holiday houses. The accomodation was not as good as staying in the hotel. Although clean, the house was a little tired and in need of renovation. We enjoyed breakfast in the hotel and evening meals in the bar. The bar food was good and, on the evenings that Tim was working, the staff were attentive. Unfortunately, on our third evening, Tim was not working and we just felt ignored. Service was slow even though there were three staff serving and the bar was less than half full.
Nice hotel in a beautiful park
We stayed in the self-catering golf lodges on site as we walked the kerry way. Accommodation was perfect, lovely warm water for baths and showers, fully equipped kitchen, use of pool, jacuzzi and sauna a bonus, already recommending to anyone interested. The hotel staff we encountered were absolutely 5*, exceptionally friendly, helpful and nice, thank you
We really enjoyed our stay here. The view out the window of the restaurant (and our room) was astounding. The staff were wonderful.
Just home from 8 night at the bungalows at the Castlerosse Hotel. Had a fantastic time there. A great place to chill out. A very family friendly hotel that provides a great service. Bar food was excellent. Staff were helpful and friendly. The grounds are beautiful and located beside the national park which has lovely walks etc. Slept well in a very comfortable cottage that was neat, tidy and warm. The head barman looked after us very well and we enjoyed the little communications with him about the hotel services. I will hopefully return again next year.
This was such a needed respite in our travels. We stayed in one of the holiday homes where there was plenty of room to spread out and we could cook our own meals if we wanted or go to the on site pub/restaurant. Reception is friendly and if you don’t have everything you need, just ask.
Just back from another fantastic holiday at Castlerosse. We have been going here for the past 10 years and I couldn't recommend it highly enough. We usually book 3 or 4 cottages or golf lodges. These are very spacious and well equipped with very comfortable beds. We love the fact that Castlerosse is situated in the National Park and we can cycle safely off-road. The service in the bar and restaurant is excellent and we have celebrated a few milestone birthdays here. I have to say that Tim is always amazing to deal with and is like our personal event organiser making sure everything runs smoothly. I cannot praise him highly enough for making us feel special. All booked again for next year and looking forward to it already.
Terrific location. Great room with excellent bar and restaurant serving great food. Highly recommended...........
This review is aimed explicitly at the bar/restaurant- Mulligans. The food here is incredible! The steak pizza was delicious, and the prawn and avocado salad was very tasty. The service leaves somewhat to be desired in some respects. Some of the staff were very attentive and helpful, but there was a level of disorganisation with regard to ordering and payment for a large (~26) group. While the majority of the staff were courteous and helpful, one in particular (Tim) was downright rude and quite offputting during an encounter at our table. We were also disappointed at the lack of provision for pre-golf snacks - there were not enough scones available for our group, although the hotel knew there would be a group of us there today.
Just back from the castleross, food was amazing, staff very friendly and helpful and hotel was very clean overall. would definitely recommend to anyone going to killarney.
Beautiful resort - highly recommend renting bikes and exploring the nearby trails. We loved it! Breakfast was also very good - be sure to add the breakfast plan!
A lovely stay in the Castlerosse Park Hotel in Killarney this weekend. Lovely room with a view of the lake. Great walks around it and a lovely breakfast before we left.
Lovely hotel, staff were really friendly and really helpful. Food was really nice too. We stayed during a heatwave so having no aircon in the room it was really hot, which was a little tricky with a small baby and also for us to sleep. Got a facial and it was fab! Thanks to Rosemary! Again the staff were so amazing they really make the hotel experience great!
Service, location, scenery, facilities, meals, everything was superb. Only thing I would say is that our family room had no storage to put our stuff (and we are 4). Also, no fridge in the room (although we took the family package that includes breakfast and dinner). But this is nothing comparing with the unmatched service and dreamy place for all of us. Irish are so easy going!
No connection or available in the room due to low connectivity. TV was not a smart TV so very limited channels available. Rooms can also be more upgraded.
Many of our family stayed at the Castlerosse Hotel & Spa recently. The hotel is set in beautiful grounds a short distance outside of Killarney town. The staff throughout were friendly and courteous, and our rooms were clean and spacious. The food served in the restaurant was delicious with a wide and varied menu and an excellent breakfast served each morning. There are many areas in the hotel to sit and relax while Mulligan’s Bar with stunning views across the lake and golf course has an excellent menu for guests not wanting a four course meal. We had young children with us who loved the kids club and the staff there, where they were entertained and had their evening meal while us adults were able to eat and relax in the restaurant. We all immensely enjoyed our stay at The Castlerosse and hopefully will return there to have a great holiday again in the not too distant future.
This was a most comfortable Hitel. Emwe booked at the last minute fir 2 nights. Although there were plenty in the the Hotel our room was completely quiet which was great. Views were lovely and food great.
The Castlerosse Park Resort is a beautiful resort nestled in the middle of Killarney national park. My husband and I and our two children spent two nights and the accommodations were perfect as they even had a rollaway bed set up for my son the resort offers bike rentals, which were perfect to ride all the different bike trails around Killarney, some as to which even led you into the main street of downtown and to close tourist sites like Ross Castle and Mike Ross Abbey. Killarney riding stables is located right across the street from the resort which was super convenient as we made reservations for horseback riding throughout the national park. Overall, the resort was amazing and very welcoming! I had asked the front desk if they would do something special for my daughter‘s birthday and they happily agreed. Leaving her a sweet note and a beautiful box of chocolates in our room to be surprised with. Everything about this resort and this special town is mesmerizing, and our whole experience was truly magical.
We were a family group of 30 ages 3 - 70. My family - kids and grandkids - stayed at the Kenmare House. This is a beautiful manor home with nice gardens and a view of Killarney national park and lake. It was perfect for our family. The rest of our group stayed in the golf lodges on the resort. We planned an all-group dinner at the Castlerosse restaurant and they food and service were excellent.
Stayed with my wife and our 7 month old in a holiday home for 3 nights. The hotel is in a fabulous location, close to Killarney town and national park - and boasts truly phenomenal views of the lakes and mountains. The Good: Bar staff, bar food and bar views were brilliant. Big shout out to Tim in Mulligans bar who was probably the most attentive and accommodative manager I've ever seen (and I worked in hospitality for years). Tim was excellent - and the food was too. The bad holiday homes were in need of uplift. Many of the heaters did not function, meaning the house was quite cold on windy evenings (even in July). It was disappointing to show up to a place where clearly staff had cleaned , and either didn't bother to check if the heat was working - or didn't care. Breakfast staff were seemed disinterested and incompetent. The breakfast hall was half empty, and yet they put my wife and I with our baby at a small two person table in the middle of the floor. We had to ask to be seated at a larger table with more room - simple. Also, no condiments available on one of the mornings - had to ask staff from kitchen to give us ketchup - another basic thing. It's funny that little things which hotels overlook and don't pay attention to make a big difference to guest experiences. It just betrays a lack of interest of attention to detail. On another note, the manager welcoming people into the breakfast hall looked like he'd rather be anywhere else - not even a faint smile , eye contact or remote interest. Clearly more concerned with keeping a larger group of tourists happy - rather than catering equally for all patrons. This is in stark contrast to Tim in Milligan's bar who was run off his feet but kept every table happy and went out of his way to ensure every customer was attended to and made feel welcome.
This was our 5th time to stay at the Castlerosse and as always we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room we were given this time was like a suite with its own sitting room. The room had 2 large flat screen TVs. I used the pool every morning and the whole pool area and changing rooms were very clean and well run. We had breakfast each morning and ate dinner 2 nights in the restaurant. As always the staff in the restaurant were lovely. the views and walking trails are so good.
We stayed 3 nights in a holiday home and it was beautiful, very comfortable, spacious and immaculately clean. The kids loved it. We are definitely coming back!!
We stayed 4 nights in the Castleross Resort Cottages on the edge of the National Park. The cottages were an excellent choice - lots of room in two cottages for our 3 generation family of 8. Since we did not rent a car we walked everywhere - well marked paths led to Killarney town, a market with all the essentials was about a km away. Hiking trails very accessible with an excellent play ground and even a cafe for tea, coffee and bakery. Castleross staff members were so personable and welcoming throughout our stay. We ate our main meal in the pub restaurant and each night we were seated at a table for 8 with a fantastic view of the lakes and mountains. Our servers were so conscientious and spoiled the grandchildren with their attention to detail. For a family traveling to Killarney Castleross Resort is the perfect location! Be sure to say hello to Aisling - she assisted with our booking and followup.
We had a fab time , really relaxing, fantastic walks , the views were just stunning. The staff were friendly paticularly Tim in the bar . The food was just excellent. The pool area would need updating , there is no walk in steps to the pool only from the ladder from the side which is difficult for people with frozen shoulder or other health issues .
Friendly staff, nice, clean facilities. My one issue was with breakfast each morning. Consistently watching staff turn over tables by spraying down the table without removing the open butter and milk containers, and salt and pepper containers. This must be how staff are trained as each and every staff member did it. I don't understand why all items would not be removed from the table before spraying down and cleaning the table. Surely this is a no brainer in terms of best practice. I don't know anyone who wishes to have their milk contaminated with cleaning agent. Please change this practice. Otherwise happy to recommend this hotel.
Really great stay. I have used this hotel for business travel and it was fantastic although with getting back late evenings couldn't really get to enjoy it so my wife and I booked a short break here. It lived up to what we expected and then some. We had a room with lake and golf course view and nice wide opening window. It's walkable into Killarney centre easily enough or hire a bike from their leisure facilities if you like as there are some great things to see on a bicycle also like the castle and cliff point views. Apart from the hotels beautiful views from both bar and restaurant and also the outside terrace, what also stands out are the staff and their attention to help plus the quality of the food stands out as well. Thus place will not disappoint in any way.
Pleasant hotel, clean, located in a beautiful part of the city. Breakfast was perfect and very nice, and the staff were kind. Recommended to go if you want to have an unforgettable trip to Killarney :)
Nice hotel, lovely location with stunning views. Breakfast was good but basic. Left a phone charger in the room but didn’t get it back when I called.
Loved this place. Everything about this place is great. Couple of issues I would like to point out that bothered me. 1. At breakfast scrambled egg had egg shells in it. 2. Serving plates were wet, I prefer dry. 3. Bathroom light and fan should have separate switches. I say this because exhaust fan is noit
We stayed in the Castlerosse Park resort at the beginning of May. It was a Golden Break deal. We were so impressed with this hotel. Every single member of staff was so lovely and friendly. We had a room with a view of the lake and mountains. The room was large abd with a comfortable bed. There was a large choice of hot and cold choices for breakfast. Dinner was included in the cost, 4 course meal every evening and, again, the food and service was excellent. I hope we get a chance to visit this hotel again.
Stayed in a Self catering cottage. Excellent service for our full week, we even had excellent weather to make a perfect week's holiday. They do avery god job of making you feel welcome.
The location is stunning and the main lodge is inviting with helpful staff but I was quite disappointed with our holiday home. It was just tired and dull, and felt a little stingy with supplies. Although the lounge area - which is nice - is massive, there’s only comfy seating for 4 so someone has to sit on the floor. Why not add a larger sofa or another easy chair or two? In retrospect, the golf lodges look nice so I should have booked one of those. Nice location but have realistic expectations of what the holiday homes are like.
Beautiful hotel ,staff amazing especially Sinead thank you so kindly for the amazing stay . Views spectacular and we both will be definitely staying again . Can not fault this stay at all we didn't want to leave
I cannot recommend Castlerosse more- this entire resort was PERFECT and the most magical and accommodating location for our wedding ♥️ Huge shoutout to Katie- organizer of the Kenmare House- who went above and beyond to make sure our friends and family had a great time. The Kenmare house is WORTH it! Also shoutout to Jenny at their salon- who did a beautiful job last minute for my wedding day hair! ♥️ The entire staff was so kind and did a fantastic job, and even the restaurant food was delightful! Cannot wait to come back!
We stayed for the first time at the Castlerosse for 2 nights and kindly got upgraded to a King Room. It was a fabulous room, we didn’t want to leave! The room had 2 televisions a sofa etc. We dined in Mulligans bar for one night and the food was really good. There was also music both nights. The views from the breakfast area are also amazing. Looking forward to staying again in the near future.
Great location with direct foot access to Killarney National Park and picture perfect view of lake and mountains from the living room of our holiday home. Leisure centre clean with well kitted out gym. Staff very helpful. Will definitely return.
Resort in very nice, staff is friendly. room is tiny, uncomfortable bed, missing things like garbage can, face cloth. Bath/ shower is old and hard to get in and out. Grounds are well kept. A little pricey for what we got
Hi, everyone! Me and my friend Adrian we went over for a lunch in the bar. From the minute we entered we where greated with smiles from the girls on reception. We are asked to sit on a table in the bar with a lovely view. Tim( Bar Manager) come over to our table, very professional and had a small chat with us. Very lovely man. We had a chowder each, which was absolutely lovely. All the team members of staff where attentive and very professional. Nina, Natalia and unfortunately I can't remember everyone else name but we where feeling the true Irish Welcome. Hats off ! 🙏
I’m lucky enough to have all my family live in this town. But had to make an emergency trip over and decided to stay at the Castlerosse. The rooms were lovely, the views amazing, the staff excellent and the food was fantastic. Cannot say a bad word about it
Just returning from 4 great days playing bridge, although we also walked, cycled, played tennis and golf. Hotel is really nice and the food was great. Our Bridge package was great value for money. Moira our host and director was lovely and did a great job
We stayed in a 2 bed lodge with amazing views. The location is fabulous and we had everything we needed. The beds are super comfy. Decent pool, gym and sauna and the staff are so friendly. It’s ideal for families or even friends staying together. We love it here. Beautiful walks and near to different sights. We will be back.
Everything was wonderful :) Happy guests Efficient staff Extraordinary views Brilliant boat tours and hiking Clear water History and learning Heartfelt populace Good food Tripadvisor needs 200 chargatets minimum so here are some more
We stayed in one of the self-catering cottages for two nights as a mid-vacation stop traveling around Ireland. It was our least favorite stay of our 2 week trip. The cottage was in need of a good cleaning and updates, the furniture was stained and there was very little privacy as the other cottages on the backside and the golfers on the course were right outside the windows. The clothes washer/dryer did not work well and the other guests next door were loud late into the night. We tried to eat one meal at the resort in the bar and it was so horrible we didn't finish it. Although most of the staff were friendly and helpful, we had two interactions that were plainly rude making us almost check out a day early. We decided it would be too much trouble and on the bright side we did enjoy the location near the lake and the pretty walk into town. The hotel did look nice but we will look elsewhere the next time we visit Killarney.
What can I say only AMAZING! Kathryn in reception was incredibly welcoming and attentive nothing was too much for her as well as other staff of the hotel. We have a child with special needs who loves this hotel and it’s easy to see why. The pool the playground and the breakfast was unbeatable. They go above and beyond to ensure you enjoy every minute of your stay. We can’t wait to come back again. Thank you again Kathryn for everything
The great: Location, 2k to Fossa, 2k to Killarney. Very attractive low rise hotel. On the Fossa Way. The stunning views from the bedroom, the bar and the restaurant. The bedroom. The beds. The lovely lady who did the daily room cleaning, The many walks from the hotel. More than one beautiful walkway into Killarney Town. Reception staff Michelle and Orla. The heat in the bedroom, thank you. The not as great: Get a few games for residents. There were none at reception. Charity shops are full of adult and child games for a few euros. Pool, steam room and jacuzzi need to be upgraded to modern standards. Breakfast managers just doing their job, no more. More personality and customer focus needed. Breakfast good but nothing special, particularly for vegetarians. No fresh blueberries, raspberries, strawberries etc. There was fresh melon and watermelon but sad looking tinned grapefruit. Worst of all was the porridge. It was lifeless, thin, too watery, possibly overcooked. It's not difficult to make porridge. I said it to the manager on duty each morning, but nothing changed. I mentioned it to one of the staff who told me he makes porridge every day, but never eats the hotel porridge.
As a family we stayed at The Castlerosse Golf Lodges for a number of days in April. The reservation and check-in cannot be faulted. Bridget has been so helpful. The location is unbelievable. Fantastic view of the lake and beautiful walks adjacent to the resort. However the golf lodges are getting old and are in need of refurbishment. Correspondence from The Resort mention children’s camps, but the children’s playground needs some work also. You can park your car and not have to drive for the length of your stay unless you want some decent food. The food in the restaurant is poor. The fish and chips are the worse I have seen for a long time. I have reduced the rating from 5 stars to 4 stars not because of the playground or the tired looking accommodation but because of the bar food.
Great location and the view from the hotel was spectacular. The room was clean and we had the right number of beds for a family of 4 which made us all comfortable. The breakfast offerings were adequate but the dinner menu exceeded our expectations. The main courses, especially the duck and the lamb, were cooked to perfection. Special thanks to Beatriz in the dining room for the excellent service she provided to our family during our stay. Overall, it was great value for money and a good place to stay if you're visiting the tourist spots in County Kerry.
Lovely friendly staff. The hotel had beautiful grounds and stunning views of the lake and mountains. We did a long walk along the estate through beautiful woodland, even saw some wild deer! We had dinner in the bar as we didn't fancy the restaurant. The food was okay, wasn't anything hugely special. Mocktails were delicious. Great bit of live traditional music in the evening. Room was very comfortable, beds were lovely and soft. Room wasn't too hot or cold. It was so quiet too! No screaming kids or banging doors. We didn't get round to using the pool facilities but we were told it was strictly kid free in the evenings which would be a huge bonus. Breakfast in the upstairs restaurant room was divine, lots of choice and all freshly prepared. Hot buffet was delicious. Beautiful views of the mountains.
Stayed 3 nights for St. Patricks weekend, we got an excellent deal of 3 nights B+B plus 2 evening meals. Room was lovely, had everything we needed, staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Really good breakfast, Restaurant & Bar had lovely views of the lakes. Leisure Centre and Pool was really good also, we hired bikes from the leisure centre (really good value) and cycled around the lake.
We stayed in a golf lodge and the place was spotless when we arrived . The bedrooms are very roomy and the beds super comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could need. It has a nice pool which the kids enjoyed we didn't use the gym . Any staff member that we met was friendly and very helpful the only thing they couldn't help with was the weather. We would definitely return.
Always love staying at the Castleross holiday homes , so warm and cosy, spotless clean with everyone need from a home away from home . We were allowed bring our doggie and was lovely Rhian dog friendly houses now have timber floors not carpet .definitely booking again next year .ideal location, right in the middle of kilarney national park
We had a wonderful experience. Perfect accommodation for our needs, beautiful location and great staff. This is a gem and a great place to rest up and to visit scenic Kerry, The town is lovely with some very good restaurants. In the hotel the leisure centre is fantastic. Can’t wait to return.
I booked one of the houses for my daughters confirmatio celebration. When they heard it was her confirmation, they automatically upgraded us to a golf lodge and left a lovely note and butlers chocolates for her. Thank you. So so cosy ideal location loads of space in the house stunning views great value we will be back.
We loved our stay here! The staff were all very friendly, the massage therapist was wonderful, and the food at the pub was really good!! Our room was clean and spacious and had a beautiful view. Our only complaint was the cows nearby were really loud throughout the night but it was too warm in the room to not have the window open. Could have benefitted from having a standing fan in the room to help with temp or cover the cow sounds
Completely out dated bathroom. In need of serious renovation. Not good enough at all for a 4 star hotel and the price we paid. No air con or bathroom fan either.
Completely outdated bathroom in need of a serious renovation. Not good enough at all in a 4star hotel and price we paid. No air con in rooms no bathroom fan.
The room was large, the bed was comfortable, and the staff were very friendly. The WIFI was unstable (they said they were having problems with this). It is a very convenient location for Killarney!
Great view, good options for food in restaurant (gound floor), nice walkway around golf course.
Nice property but had the same menu for lunch and dinner. With dinner could never get more than one cocktail because servers never came to table. Also no breakfast or coffee is available.
It was nice
Great facilities. Lovely staff.
Lovely hotel with great views from the bar and restaurant. Room was lovely and clean but absolutely roasting hot. Staff really make the hotel, all staff from reception, bar, waiting and cleaners were so friendly and made the stay enjoyable.
Check in was delayed by 1hr but we got a call next morning from reception before 12 reminding us to check out for 12sharp. Bar was lively and staff friendly. Breakfast was very nice too. Views from hotel were very nice.
Gorgeous property and the food was amazing!!
There were spiders and spider webs all over our room, the cups in the room were dirty but we had cups from McDonald’s so we used them. Room smelt musty and shut up.The property was beautiful but our room was not as we expected for such a nice resort and area surrounding. We are hotel hopping all around Ireland and this place has by far been the dirtiest place we stayed.
Beautiful grounds . We barely enjoyed the hotel since we only spent one night but I can see the quality of golfing and fine eating here . Reception desk very kind
Decor was quite old fashioned, particularly the bathroom. The rooms are very hot with no fans (even after asking reception). Location is around 5 minute drive out of Killarney city centre Beautiful view in the parlour room but doesn’t feel like a 4 star hotel
We spent one night here. The room was clean and large for 3 adults. No air conditioning and when we asked for a fan for the room we were told there were none! Quite warm in room!! We booked a table in the dining room as we read in the hotel information leaflet that this is a special experience. Well we were disappointed. The food was good but the service was poor. Half way there the meal they started setting up for breakfast it was like being in a canteen The location is fantastic but I would say it’s a 3 star hotel. Good for families but a bit of let down for us
Had an amazing stay in this beautiful hotel. Staff so friendly and helpful. Breakfast really good with wonderful options. Within walking distance of Killarney town centre.
We stayed here for one night during a tour of southern Ireland. We asked for an accessible room as my wife is in a wheelchair and in that regard it was the best equipped hotel we stayed in during our week away. The room and bathroom was very spacious and the walk-in shower meant that my wife was able to have her only shower of the week. We had a nice evening meal in the Dining Room, which has a great view across the Killarney National Park. If using the swimming pool you do need a bathing hat, which caught me out but the staff in the spa were very helpful and loaned me one. The swimming pool changing room was a bit disappointing and could have been cleaner.
Was a great location for what we were looking to do. The room was spacious and so modern and clean along with the bathroom which would be our first preference as we’re out all day hiking and love a spacious room with a comfortable bed and good bathroom and shower 🙋♀️ Will definitely return again and will try the golfing on the hotel grounds along with dinner in the bar this time rather than restaurant. Everything was just as we needed and as I’m a local lady anyway and first time here it most certainly won’t be our last thank you ☺️
The property is a bit tired, but a very comfortable stay. Staff were very accommodating, and the grounds and surrounding area are stunning. I’d recommend asking for a room facing the golf course/ mountain
Gorgeous property! Great food and music. Nice rooms. Loved it here.
this place is just amazing starting with the views and easy access to killarney town very comfortable stay,great breakfast gym is awesome too no AC in the room though
Hotel and restaurant staff were top-notch. The hotel could use a little more parking, but overall a satisfactory experience.
Lovely rooms, lovely bar and lovely staff.
Hotel was absolutely stunning, the views from the bar were amazing. The staff were super friendly and helpful! There is plenty to do at this hotel and the location is fantastic, highly recommend
Nice and helpful staff
Beautiful, casual elegance on the lake. Every where you look is amazing. Great sport spa facility, as well. The best Angus fillet I have ever had!
Perfect, just what we wanted
Nice onsite pool, jacuzzi, steam room, exercise facility.
Excellent location, great walks, view, pool, golf and amazing breakfast.
Great place to stay near Killarney. Check in was quick and easy. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable when asked about local recommendations. The room we stayed in was large, comfortable, and had power outlets in good locations. Large bathroom as well. We were only here for one night, so we didn't utilize all the amenities, but the walking trail was great, and the fitness center and pool areas looked very nice. Breakfast in the morning was good and had options for a hot bar, cold/pastry bar, or a few custom menu items from the kitchen. Overall great experience here and would stay here again the next time we visit the area!
