Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms had a lingering old smoke smell that was noticeable, but not a major issue. Although my room wasn't ready upon arrival, it had a nice balcony with a view of the field and dated pool building. The service provided by Simon, the front office manager, was exceptional, with employees going above and beyond to assist with various tasks and always maintaining a pleasant demeanor. The location, set against the backdrop of the McGillycuddy Reeks and the Gap of Dunloe in County Kerry, was stunning, offering beautiful views and close proximity to scenic drives in the area. The dining experience was memorable, with a fabulous selection, but the layout of the dining room led to some congestion during peak times.
