Very welcoming. The lake hotel was very relaxing and views were great, staff were helpful and the Tea and coffee services excellent. The hotel was set back from the main road which added to its charm and feeling of serenity. Breakfast bar was more than satisfactory, all food was prepared well and they had a large variety of options. The room was nicely appointed and very clean. If we come back to Ireland I guarantee we will be staying at the lake hotel in kilairney again.

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.
