“The individually decorated rooms enhance the inherent comforts, setting it apart. I particularly like the Ivy Lounge-the kind of intimate space that encourages lingering. It's the proximity to Killarney National Park, though, that truly defines its appeal: morning walks among grazing deer feel less like a perk and more like an essential experience.”

excellent stay

warm welcomedaily planscheerful atmospheresmall bathroom
Maura at reception greeted me warmly. She assisted with daily plans. I enjoyed a tour of the hotel. Ruth, the waitress, was very experienced and interacted well with guests during dinner. The food was fantastic.
I found the room configuration somewhat impractical. a slat wall partially obstructed the view of the tv from the bed. the bathroom was very small. i would have appreciated more space to store personal items .

The room featured a spacious layout and comfortable beds. I got a great night's sleep. Bathroom facilities included a big showerwith excellent water pressure, thus it was a pleasant experience. The room itself was decorated very nicely.

Breakfast service was attentive, and the staff addressed all requests promptly. A separate vegan menu was available and featured alternative milks . The location offers morning walks, and deer graze peacefully in the nearby field each morning. what a lovely view.

The food in the dining room was of good quality. The staff helped with dry cleaning. Breakfast offered good food choices.
Lighting for makeup was not good in the bathroom. The wooden step into the bathroom needs fixing. It was not safe. A handle in the shower would add safety.

strange tastebreakfast absence
The hotel coffee sat in the closet which struck me as odd. I found the breakfast underwhelming. My scrambled eggs tasted strange. The salmon seemed less than fresh so I skipped it. I didn't see any fresh juice either. I thought that lacking these things was a bit much for a supposed four-star hotel
