Muckross Reserve apartments were in a great location to walk to the nearby Abbey, House & Gardens but a little far out of Killarney to walk (about an hour or 10/15 mins drive). The apartments were furnished well but kitchen utensils/cookware were basic - we could have used a casserole dish for the oven vs just a shallow baking tray. Other self catering apartments we have stayed in have supplied a welcome pack including basic condiments like oil, salt and pepper, milk and treats vs just tea and coffee sachets and small box of chocolates but we asked for salt and pepper and oil from Colgans next door second day. All the staff were very friendly and helped us organise taxis for our large party going into town. Would highly recommend using this as a base to explore the area and Ring of Kerry.

The apartment was very spacious for our family of 4. 2 bathrooms were nice! No swimming pool but had a relaxing communal hot tub in the spa area that you could use for up to 2 hours at an additional cost. The concierge was wonderful and very helpful!

The bed was two twins pushed together, which made for a hard edge down the middle. One side was worn and saggy. The other was somewhat comfortable.

We stayed in the apartments at Muckross. We were only there one night, but I think these would be great for families staying a few nights in the area. They were clean and nicely decorated with a number of amenities. Nice living area and kitchen. One note though....there are 3 floors and NO elevators which I don't remember reading in the fine print. They really need to state this more clearly as I imagine some people would have a problem with this. We weren't very thrilled that we had to haul our luggage to the 3rd floor.

We enjoyed the apartments attached to the property. The room is spacious, kitchen well appointed, and clean. Parking was easy and rooms were quiet. We slept well every night. The only negative would be the lighting in the bathroom to shave or put make up on. The resort itself is in a great location just a couple minutes outside of town. The resort staff is wonderful. The spa team was great as well. Yew Tree restaurant breakfast was good but not as exceptional as our lunch in Monk's bar. We all enjoyed our lunch and returned for drinks multiple times to Monk's.
