"This is an extremely well presented boutique hotel, reminisent of those luxury hotel stays from years gone by.
The friendly proprietors Annette and Paul cannot do enough for you, and will recommend tours, attratctions, restaurants etc.
The building is a large house overlooking Loch Lein in the Killarney National Park offering 23 rooms.
Well positioned for the Ring of Kerry, Dingle and the Killarney Lakes.
It has a small bar and quiet seating area.
The bedrooms are large and spacious and extremely comfortable. Ours had a lake view.
Dinner is served Wednesday to Sunday from an excellent but somewhat limited menu whilst classical music plays. We had the pan fried salmon and chicken mains which were beautifully cooked. The atmosphere is a little formal and dated perhaps but we felt this is exactly how the proprietors wanted it, and judging by the awards and rave reviews, who are we to argue?
If you want a little more life in the evenings, Killarney is a 15 minute cab ride away offering a lot of options. Alternatively, the 5 star Europe Hotel is a 10 minute walk and offers a variety of food and bar options. Paul and Annette will be happy to recommend and order a cab for you.
The hotel will not suit children, nor young families and is very (possibly too) quiet at night. However, this is a welcome and refreshing change and caters for older couples or those who want a quieter stay in luxurious surroundings.
We had a very comfortable and relaxing stay."
