Seriously? This hotel is pretty amazing in nearly all regards, what you'd expect entering a 5 star establishment. But no wireless in the rooms and barely any bandwidth in the lobby was very frustrating - especially since our MIFI didn't have any reception from the hotel either. ok - now that I got that out of the way, one of...

In front of the gap of dunloe with lots of space in and around the hotel a great place to spend your time in Killarney. Fishing grounds on hotel premises, access to horse-back riding. Nice staff and spacious rooms.
