Loch Lein Country House

We spent 3 nights here at the lovely and gorgeous Loch Lein Country House. The amenities were only outdone by the hospitality of Paul and Annette. Our every need was met along with great advice for our daily travels. Truly one of the nicest places we've had the privelege of staying at.

Wonderful hotel. The scenery from the property is stunning. The hosts were incredibly gracious and kind. We have never felt more genuinely welcome at an accomodation then the way they made us feel. The hosts were very personable and very helpful, whether it be calling a taxi for us to get into town, or giving sight seeing and food recommendations. I wish we could've stayed longer.

Excellent rooms, very good size and very comfortable. Breakfast was great and hosts were very pleasant. Highly recommended. Location is brilliant, very close to a very busy Killarney town. Ample parking with lovely gardens around loch Lein.

Beautiful accommodation, superbly maintained with customer service to match, the location with a lake view that is only matched by the view in the nearby Hotel Europe is amazing. Will definitely be back soon Staff couldn’t be more friendly or helpful

What a beautiful and charming hotel! Annette, Paul, and her family show pride of place with this beautiful location, brimming with old world charm and yet modern comfort and conveniences. Our rooms were large and well appointed, immaculately clean with a huge soaking tub and oversized, separate shower in each bathroom (we booked 2 rooms - one for us and one for our older teens). Water pressure was amazing and the ability to open the windows in our room and allow the cool, delicious Irish breeze to drift in from the field behind this hotel into the sitting area in our room was such a treat. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Annette and our bags were taken by Jack, Annette and Paul's son, to our rooms. The view from the front of Loch Lein was absolutely breathtaking and our hosts were kind enough to seat us for our first breakfast right next to the large, beautiful windows in the dining room. And they served us such tasty food, sourced from local vendors, so everything was unbelievably fresh. Our dining experiences were memorable, with white linen table cloths, fine (and yet warm and friendly) service from the wait staff (which included Paul himself), strong Irish breakfast tea served in delicate tea cups with accompanying saucers and gloriously dainty teaspoons, amazing Hake that tasted like it had been pulled from the lake just a few hours prior, and mornings with full Irish breakfasts and waffles that were unmatched during our entire 12-day tour of southern and western Ireland. Here, every one of us was treated both like royalty and like family simultaneously. We felt very welcomed and would return in a heartbeat, when given a chance to visit Killarney again from the US in the future. Thanks so much to our gracious hosts for such a lovely experience!

During the summer I had the pleasure of staying at this charming country house hotel only a couple of minutes drive from Killarney. Nestled beside a stunning, picturesque lake, the location alone is worth the visit. The views were absolutely breathtaking, with the tranquil water reflecting the surrounding Kerry mountains and lush greenery. The hotel itself combines traditional elegance with modern comfort. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive. Annette and Paul made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Our room was spacious and well-appointed, with large windows that allowed us to wake up to the beauty of the lake each morning. Dining at the hotel was another highlight—delicious, locally-sourced meats and fresh fish in a comfortable yet refined setting. After dinner, we enjoyed relaxing in the front garden with Jack’s (the barman) signature cocktails, taking in the serene atmosphere. Breakfast in the mornings was truly something to look forward to. Whether you're looking to unwind or explore the nearby natural wonders of Killarney National Park, this country house hotel is the perfect retreat. I can't recommend it highly enough for anyone seeking a peaceful getaway with spectacular views.
