Such a beautiful property that really felt like another world, and a much-needed respite from our travels. The staff was friendly and attentive and the room very comfortable. Our only wish was that the weather cooperated to spend more time exploring the gardens and lake!

This house was so neat. Makes you feel like a Rockefeller hanging out in a fabulous summer home. Gardens and grounds are stunning and dinner and drinks are cooked/made to order on an individual basis. Plenty of places to find a book, a view, and complete serenity. Wonderful secret!

Classy country home on the lake

Lovely stay at the Ard na Sidhe Country House. Very peaceful and tranquil setting. Such a beautiful location. Wonderful gardens and very classy main house. Food was wonderful. Our rooms were in the garden house, and was clean and comfortable although a little warm during our unseasonably warm visit. Great staff all around. Easy parking and great location. Much prefer this stay over crowded Killarney.

What we liked about this property was EVERYTHING! From the drive through an enchanted forest to the lake views to the elegant stone guest house with the most fabulous dinner, and kind and accommodating wait staff AND the room in the Garden House was extremely clean and comfortable. And to top it off, while walking the manicured lawns with magnificent trees, we spotted deer grazing in the gardens with no fear of onlookers. There were many photo ops at this lovely place!

More guesthouse than hotel

This is a stunning country house, it a tranquil location. However, it is more like a guest house than a hotel. There are no facilities here at all. It is beautiful and relaxing just be aware no proper bar, no pool, no spa, no tv in rooms etc. The sister hotel The Europe is much better value for money.

Needs air conditioning

Perfect location and beautiful buildings, except for the lack of air conditioning in the annex building which made it impossibly hot.
