The hotel rooms were very comfortable and a very good size, offering good value for money. The service was top quality and extremely accommodating, which was fantastic, especially for serious over-packers like me. The location was perfect for us, although it has dated a lot compared to other 5-star hotels. The dining experience was to die for with a vast breakfast selection. Overall, a great stay with a few areas needing some improvement.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was a disappointment as it was located on the ground floor with barely a view of the lake, but it was as requested with a lake view and a little surprise patio area looking out across the mountain range. The service was exceptional, with everyone from check-in to the spa being extremely helpful and friendly. The location was decent but a bit out from the main area of Kilarney with no outdoor hot tub as advertised. The dining was pleasant overall, although some personal preferences weren't met. The facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel's location on the outskirts of Killarney offered stunning views of the mountains and the lower lakes, truly capturing the beauty of County Kerry, Ireland. However, the antique feel and the odd layout were a bit strange.
