“A warm welcome, comfort, delicious food and close to nature.”
+We have been coming to the hotel for years, which says it all. Country-house style, with modern comforts; open fire, a first class dinning menu and staff who could not be more friendly or helpful. The majority of rooms look out across the lake, and if you are lucky, you will get a close up view of the deer wandering past the window in the evenings. No wild parties, a slow and chilled pace - heavenly.

“Beautiful Stay at Lake Hotel Killarney!”
+We absolutely loved our stay at Lake Hotel Killarney. Our room was wonderful, and the view of the lake was incredible,such a peaceful way to start and end the day. Breakfast each morning was top notch with plenty of great options. It was the perfect way to fuel up before exploring the area. The hotel also has several comfortable sitting areas throughout the property, which makes it easy to relax and enjoy the scenery. In the evenings, there’s entertainment in the bar starting around 9:30 pm, which was a really nice touch. One of the best parts of the entire experience was the thermal suites. They were absolutely fantastic and a perfect way to relax after a day of exploring. It truly elevated the stay and made the visit feel even more special. One of our favorite parts was the beautiful walk around the lake right outside the hotel. It’s a must-do while you’re there. If you’re visiting in March, be prepared for warm interiors. The hotel keeps the heat up and often has fireplaces going, so it can get quite cozy inside. We found it much more comfortable wearing lighter clothing like T-shirts and using layers for when you head outside. Overall, a fantastic stay with beautiful views, gre

“Fantastic experience”
+We had a fantastic stay at Lake Hotel, the location is great in the heart of the natural park, with great views and the chance of enjoying the nature and multiple cultural activities. Our room was perfect, with gorgeous views to the lake and with all the facilities you can imagine. We had breakfast twice, with a great variety of of dishes. We also had dinner once at the restaurant, the food was nice and there was a wide variety of local dishes. The staff was very friendly and helpful, specially Jonathan and Bela, were really kind with us. I would 100% recommend this hotel, and I'm sure I'll go back the next time I go to Killarney.

“Restored, Refreshed, and Reconnected in Killarney”
+My wife Cindy and I, both in our 60s, just returned from a wonderful four-night stay at The Lake Hotel , and we couldn’t be more pleased. The highlight of our room was undoubtedly the stunning view of the lake, made even more special by a Jacuzzi tub positioned to take in that same breathtaking scenery. Pure luxury. The room itself was comfortable and wonderfully quiet , exactly what we needed. Dining exceeded our expectations on every visit, whether at the bistro or the main hotel restaurant. Both were excellent. The staff and management throughout our stay were professional, friendly, and genuinely attentive , the kind of team that makes you feel truly looked after. We were just minutes from the Gap of Dunloe, which we thoroughly enjoyed exploring on foot. By the end of our stay, Cindy and I both felt restored and refreshed in a way we hadn’t in a long time. This trip gave us the chance to slow down and reconnect. For anyone seeking a peaceful, elegant retreat in Ireland, we cannot recommend The Lake Hotel highly enough. , Michael & Cindy
