Beautiful handmade soap company toiletries, offered us an umbrella for the rain, excellent fan in the room, lots of options at breakfast, amazing view from our room

A smart TV in the room would be handy to connect to Netflix especially if I had my children with me

Very spacious room with large bathroom and small patio overlooking the beautiful lake. The restaurant staff was wonderful and the breakfast buffet was perfectly to fuel up before long days in Dingle and Kerry. Location was excellent along the ring of Kerry with walking paths along the lake to some beautiful spots.

The spa/heated pool are not included in the price. Everything else was perfect.

"Fantastic! We'll absolutely be back. Make sure you get a Lake-View room, its worth it!"

10.0

The view from the room, the breakfast, the electric car charging facilities, the food in the bar area. The Friendly Staff, the cleanliness of the room. The water pressure in the shower was also incredible.

The decor in the hallways felt a bit dated (perhaps part of the charm?), and the patterned carpet was slightly disorientating, especially over the undulating floors.
