"Amazing boutique hotel. Great access to Kilarney National Park and all things Kilarney. Breakfast was perfect—as was the restaurant and bar. We could use the outside seating because of inclement weather, but there are all sorts of nooks and crannies to enjoy. Would absolutely stay again!"

"our grandkids had a great time in the pool. It would have been nice for the staff to let us know how close we were to the High Street for dinner options."

Cahernane House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely beautiful property. The hotel is gorgeous. The cottage room we had was spacious, warm, and had a phenomenal Mountain View outside our room. The bathroom was fantastic. The rain shower was incredible as well. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the tour we received as weary travelers was entirely welcome at that point. We have been all over Ireland and this property ranks right at the top. Also - our dinner in the Cellar Bar was incredible. We will absolutely be back some day. Thanks to all for a wonderful stay!!"
