What an incredibly beautiful location! Our room looked out on to Killarney Lake and the surrounding mountains. One evening we enjoyed watching a family of deer out our patio door. It was so peaceful! The food, bars and restaurants were fabulous as well! I’d definitely stay again!

Nice hotel!

Had a very nice stay here. Rooms were nice and spacious - they gave us the family rooms since we were traveling with kids, which was nice to have a little extra space. The location is great. Nice it's right on the lake - kids enjoyed wading in the water. Had dinner at the restaurant there - lots of options. Nice our reservation included drinks which was a fun relaxing night out. Live music was fun too.

Christan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This property was gorgeous and the hotel is old fashioned in just the right way. Enormous room, great bed, great meal in the bistro (a vegetarian dal that was surprisingly fabulous) and a lovely staff member who helped us plan a hike in the park and gave us loads of great ideas.
