What's not to like about a long tree-lined drive leading to a beautiful Manor house surrounded by green grounds and pastures, with seating. High ceilings with rich wood, beautiful wall paper and draperies will transport you...but the facilities are first rate, very clean and lovingly cared for. The bar and restaurant are very good. The staff is very helpful (thank you Nichole!) and welcoming. It is also very close to town and the National Park. Perfect!

This is an amazing property to stay at. The building and grounds are historic and well appointed. Spacious outdoor walking on beautiful grounds with historic building and castle like property. Dining was some of the best we’ve had for both breakfast and dinner. The bar in the basement is a real treat and great place to relax after a long day of touring. Staff and service were amazing and helpful. Everything was perfect.

Cahernane House offers a luxurious and charming retreat for guests seeking a tranquil and elegant stay. The historic property exudes timeless elegance, with beautifully appointed rooms and impeccable service. An absolute highlight of our stay was our interaction with Cathal Devlin in The Cellar Bar! He was genuinely engaging and entertaining and added an abundance of personality to our experience. Well done, Cathal!

Full Bridgerton vibe!

We’ve had an amazing time here. Very cozy, clean hotel with excellent staff, you can appreciate attention to detail in everything. This place is impeccable. Stay in the garden room if you can for a nice terrace overlooking the gardens where you can have your cup of tea and enjoy the morning air! The restaurant at the hotel offers the most amazing fine dining experience I’ve had in a long time, really worth trying. The food is locally sourced and delicious. Very recommended and I’ll be back for sure!

Highly recommend Cahernane House Hotel if you're going to Killarney. We stayed in the carriage house in a ground floor room looking out onto the lovely courtyard, fields, and mountains in the distance. Breathtaking. Our room itself in its furniture, layout and decor was the perfect combination of simple/modern, and old-fashioned/luxurious - with a very comfortable king-sized bed, and a spacious bathroom with separate shower and large bathtub - and small touches like antifog mirror. The staff were very friendly, helpful and professional, and the breakfasts were tasty. We borrowed bikes one evening and biked around Killarney National Park, which was great. My only very minor complaint is the hotel could use to get some better bicycles, but I suppose it's tricky because if the bikes are too nice, they might disappear...

This was a lovely hotel. We stayed in a manor house room and it was very spacious with a beautiful view. The breakfast was so nice and we had dinner there one night and everything was perfect. The hotel is in a good location close to town and the train station which we used. The staff in the restaurant as well as the check in area could not have been nicer. We are very happy to recommend this hotel.
