Beautiful hotel and property on the national park, lovely to sit and enjoy the grounds or walk/rent a bike (outside hotel). They made it easy to store the bikes for us since we arrived and rented late. The restaurant was so so, the food average (catering to N. American I believe) and the service in the restaurant (to be fair was busy) was not very good. The live music in the bar at the end of the night was lovely.

The Lake Hotel's staff are simply amazing. The entire hotel feels somewhat magical - there is history all over the interior, and the exterior has such majestic views that it's hard to compare with anywhere else I've been. We had an excellent trip and wish we could have stayed even longer.

Best property in Ireland- hands down
This past October, my husband and I traveled on our first-ever trip to Ireland to celebrate 30 years of marriage. We had a wonderful trip and can't wait to return. Nearly every place we stayed was very good, but the standout gem of the trip was hands-down The Lake Hotel in Killarney in County Kerry. This charming and magical place was by far our favorite lodging, for so many reasons. The grounds of the property, as you turn into the driveway, are immaculate and they are the first hint you are someplace truly special. The grounds have plenty to enjoy and explore, including scenic views & wildlife. Lough Leane and the castle ruins at the edge of the lake provide some of the most stunning vistas and views of the mountains beyond Lough Leane. Sitting in The Lakeside Bistro bar and restaurant watching rain storms blow in over the lake from the mountains was better than can be described. Really, who needs TV or entertainment when surrounded by such beauty? Every meal, (and every perfectly poured pint of Guinness!) we enjoyed during our stay was excellent and noteworthy. The breakfasts in The Castlelough Restaurant were perfection too, with attentive staff & delicious food. Large clean rooms, great food, wonderful staff. Make sure you spend at least 2-3 days here.
