“All round great hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011

I spent three nights in this idyllic, comfortable hotel with my girlfriend recently. I have to say this place really lives up to its name! The service was excellent, the staff were all very helpful and pleasant. The bedrooms are really spaceous even. The beds were very comfortable and ther place is furnished to a really high standard. Outside of the bedroom you can relax in the library, lounge or bar or enjoy some really fine dining in the restaurant were they serve top quality breakfasts and dinners. My favourite was their awsome waffles and full Irish fries for breakfast!

All of this is set in an idyllic location overlooking the picturesque Loch Lein in Killarney. And its only five mins drive to Killarney town where there is a really good selection of restaurants and bars to visit at night or the Muckross house and national park to stroll through during the day. Its also two mins away from the Killarney golf course which is well worth a trip. We're already planning to go back again!

“Great Country Inn - highly recommend”

Our party of five (all mid 50's, experienced travelers) stayed a few days here last October while we explored the Southwest. Spotless, lovely view and reasonably priced. The hosts were a bit tired (October is the end of the tourist season) but very nice. Good breakfasts, comfortable and large rooms. They have a small bar which is nice for a nightcap. I liked Killarney as a base for exploring because it had plenty of restaurants and pubs.

Room Tip: Ask for a view of the lake.

“Excellent through and through”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

Thank you Paul and Annette for a wonderful weekend. The rooms were spotless and the whole hotel had a homely feel to it. The food was amazing and it was so difficult to choose what to have for breakfast every morning. The view is amazing and will definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a luxurious relaxing break.

Thanks for a brilliant weekend. Beautiful hotel with excellent food and quality service. We will definitely be coming back next year. The surroundings were amazing and the hotel felt like a second home with a warm atmosphere and friendly staff. Paul made us feel very welcome and was more than willing to cater to any of our needs. Rooms were spacious and very comfortable, with magnificent views of the lake. Will be recommending to friends!

“Cannot say enough about their service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2011

people found this review helpful

we have stayed at Loch Lein twice. Once in May of 2009 for 1 night. Thought so much of the service anda ccomodations, that when we planned our return trip to Ireland in August 2010, we stayed 3 nights. The meals are fantastic, Paul and Annette are primo hosts, their nephew is a "riot", the rooms are extremely comfortable, the bar is first class and the view is second to none. You can see the Ross Castle from the porch. Easy to find, especially when coming from the States, and are prone to get lost, they give excellent directions and are quite helpfull with advice as what to try to see and what is not worth the effort. We are planning another return visit in May of 2012, but will have the entire family, including grandkids. This will most certilnly be one of the places to stay and re-new semi-old friendships.

Room Tip: The lake view is a little more, but worth the extra. The bar has most anything you could ask for.
