The Lake Hotel Muckross Road, County Kerry

"My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights and loved it. It has an old feel to it, but it's well done. The staff were lovely at the front desk, the bar and for breakfast service. The breakfast was worth it and provided a wide variety of options. It is definitely on the side of the better hotel breakfasts we've had. Plus the view in the morning is so nice. We ate at the bar as well and the food and dessert were very good. The grounds and view were so nice and definitely made the experience. Even though it was windy and rainy it was nice to walk around in the breaks of sun. I can only imagine how nice it is with great weather. We had a room overlooking the parking lot/ wooded area. It was pretty quiet at night which was nice. I believe our room was in the older part of the hotel. It had no a/c and the first night it got pretty warm. There was a fan in the wardrobe and that fixed the problem pretty easily, thankfully. One of the odd things about the room was the lack of type G plugs. The only ones available were being used by the bedside lamps, so we had to unplug them to charge anything. Being from the US we only had the one adapter on us, we didn't figure we'd need the type the room had and I'm not even sure what they were. The shower was a bit narrow, but had really good pressure. The bathroom had 2 sinks, but in order to use them at the same time the bathroom door had to be shut, so kind of a design flaw. The room had plenty of space and the bed and pillows were comfortable. We slept very well every night. You could walk to the city easily, although we found it easier (especially with the rainy weather) to drive and park. It's very close to plenty of attractions like torc waterfall, Killarney house, ring of Kerry, etc. We would gladly come back if we ever find ourselves in Ireland again."

"The Lake Hotel has a traditional that feels like you are stepping back in time to the grand old days. It has style and it is very comfortable. Set in a beautiful location. Food and services are top-notch. The bedroom was bigger than any other standard hotel room, with a very cosy bed and a very nice toilet. The fitness center is very modern, with a gym, jacuzzi and sauna (all free of use), and massages (that have to be booked in advance)"

"Just returned from a wonderful weekend at The Lake Hotel, Killarney. Stunning views. Beautiful hotel and rooms. Staff were fantastic and food was exceptional, even my vegetarian meal was one of a kind. Can't wait to go back again. Thank you!"

"Best hotel stay of all time. A great location. Whilst driving away from the hotel, had to stop to let a herd of Deer cross the road. Fantastic food served by really attentive, well presented staff. Spacious, comfortable, spotlessly clean rooms.Will be back again for sure."

"We passed by this hotel many times, so now we decided to give it a shot and it's completely worth it. The view is breath taking from our room, as we got a lake view room. Food is really good so as the staffers. It's a very nice experience so far."
