Nicest place we stayed in our visit to Ireland. The old hotel was in amazing condition and the views of Lake Killarney from our room were incredible. Also, the morning buffet was most delightful. Lots of options to choose from. Will definitely recommend this hotel to our friends that travel to Ireland.
