Everything about it, from the wooden lined lifts, the interior decor. The staff. The food. The view. The location. Pretty much the whole shooting match

Booked this after our accommodations fell through at the last minute, and this ended up being our favorite stay of our entire honeymoon!! Everything was phenomenal. We will be back!!

Where to begin. I didnt have any pre-expectations going to this hotel, so I was quite blown away at how good it is. Location is insanely beautiful right on Killarney lakes with a mountain view and a ruined castle in the foreground, and also with nice on-grounds walks to historic places like Muckross Abbey. Very much feels like an old world classy hunting lodge type hotel, something like The Shining could have been filmed here. Lots of history, charm and class on display. The food was great - the restaurant was fully booked so we couldn't get a seat (I only tried an hour beforehand), but the meal I had in the lounge was one of the best I had in Ireland (hake) and bordering on fine dining (I passed my compliments to the chef several times). Staff were all young, from around Europe, charming, engaging, had good camaraderie between themselves and looked like they were having fun, which speaks to great back of house management. We only stayed one night and regretted we had to leave, next time I'll stay longer. This is a 4 star hotel that felt like it should be 5 star. Highly recommended.

Not a gripe but some areas of suggestion: - right on a lake but didnt seem to be many lake based activities going on, eg kayaking, rowing, sailing etc......I didnt enquire but didnt see anybody on the lake doing anything, other than walking around it. Is there is an opportunity to expand and put a water activity centre? Maybe national park restrictions dont allow it - we were in the new wing, which is not connected by elevators to the reception and old area...so bit of a trek upstairs, along the first floor, then back downstairs to get to the room. Fine for us but older folk might struggle with their bags or the stairs. On check-in a porter did bring our bags to the rooms.

Beautiful view, comfortable room, and wonderful food.

Private, idyllic location on a lake backed by the mountains leading to the ring of Kerry. Staff were amazing. Everyone was constantly cleaning and polishing. And the food was superb!!

Nothing!

Views were great- rooms were great- breakfast was great- all great!

Website confusing- and felt we needed to book two rooms as we had three people- when we go there- clearly one of the rooms could accommodate 3 people- so we cancelled the other- but still had to pay one night
