    Size of room, not what was suggested by booking.com pictures and description. Ground floor with terrace door as only fresh air option (no A/C). Other room upstairs wasn't possible as per management. Dining room next to our door --> noisy in the morning

    Provided breakfast

    I was expecting to have kettle in our room to save me going downstairs to make hot drinks /but it's just my preference/.

    Outside area is amazing so is inside. Good location if you do Ring of Kerry. Got refreshment area downstairs. Also got breakfast area open 8-10:30am

    I like how peaceful it is, plus it is walkable to the town centre. They are very responsive in my inquiries too. Breakfast is lovely and the staff are helpful and friendly. They have a mini nook for snacks too and could easily refill my water bottle through the water jar in a station near the rooms. It was a very sunny Killorglin during my stay, and it could get really hot at night. So i'd suggest perhaps a fan may be available in the room for the guest's use too. But overall, it was a lovely experience and would definitely rebook this place when I go back to Killorglin.

    Very impersonal, we didn’t meet anyone, lady at breakfast didn’t say anything….were unaware of coffee & tea facilities downstairs…so just assumed there wasn’t any, as none in the room, also no cups/glasses in the room! A little dated, especially the bathroom!

    Location, set in lovely grounds! Comfy beds! Breakfast was adequate, self serve continental.

    Private lodge on main road minutes from Killarney.
    • Leisure trip

    • Budget Twin Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    We were there during a heat wave, which is no fault of the property; but we were unable to keep the curtains closed and get any breeze during the night. The window on one side would only open about an inch because of climbing flowers and ivy, which did look beautiful from the outside.

    The location of the lodge was very private, easy to get to from the main road. The breakfast room was nice with lots of options to sit or take and go. The bathtub in my room was spectacular! We reserved two rooms and the bathrooms were different, but both were very nice. Host was not on property, but very responsive to messages during our stay.

    It was very close to killorglin town center, but it doesn’t seem like you can walk it safely at night as the pavement finishes about 200 m before the entrance and the road was busy.

    The room was very well kept and comfortable. It was clean and spacious. I really enjoyed the coffee station in the lobby and even though there isn’t a restaurant , they still provide a breakfast room with lots of choice like breads, cereal pastries fruit etc staff were very friendly and check in and out very easy with the lock box . The gardens and the surrounding areas were beautifully kept, I had a very quiet and peaceful stay

    I can only say this is my fault - w\I was hopeful form previous reviews that breakfast would be available however that is no longer the case - I didn't read my booking properly so that is entirely my fault. Alex - oil the hinges on the doors that lead to the bedrooms down the hall on the main floor - LOL :)

    Our host - Alex, was very knowledgeable about the area and was extremely welcoming. The room was very comfortable and had a wicked strong shower. Location was peaceful and convenient to other towns. My little patio would have been lovely if the weather was warmer. The grounds are lovely.
