Our stay at Loch Lein Country House was exceptional. The hotel was immaculate and the staff went out of their way to make our stay so memorable. Paul's knowledge of the area was invaluable. We would recommend a stay there as a hub for visiting the locality. And do have an evening meal there where you can relax with picture postcard views of the lake.

From the moment we arrived, Annette and Paul made us feel like honoured guests at their private country home. Our spacious, elegantly furnished room offered breathtaking views over Lough Lein and the MacGillicuddy Reeks. A truly “hidden gem” in Killarney—can’t wait to return!
