"Good location for doing Atlantic way and ring of kerry. Nice to be slightly outside of kilarney. Staff friendly and spa nice. Hotel could do with a bit of maintenance in the spa area, x1 steam room and outside jacuzzi were out of service. The two main jacuzzis in pool, only put bubbles out in one location. The spa treatments were fab would recommend that and spa staff very helpful. We stayed at the reserve, rooms very warm, kitchen area could do with a refresh on the job and the sink, but clean and comfy and secure."
