The Lake Hotel - A lakeshore retreat with award-winning dining and views of Killarney's lakes and mountains
Overlooking the Lakes of Killarney and set against the backdrop of mountains and woodlands, The Lake Hotel features Superior Lake View rooms with full-size glass doors framing the landscape. Guests can dine at the 2 AA Rosette-awarded Castlelough Restaurant or the Lakeside Bistro, both offering Irish cuisine with views of McCarthy Mór Castle ruins. The hotel grounds host native wildlife, including red deer and swans, while the adjacent 10 hectare National Park provides jogging trails. Rooms include free Wi-Fi, tea and coffee facilities, and terraces with garden furniture. The Lake Hotel is 2 km from Killarney town centre and 0.5 km from the floodlit 12th-century McCarthy Mór Castle. A continental breakfast is available each morning at The Lake Hotel.
Pros

Superior Lake View rooms offer panoramic views of the Lakes of Killarney.

Cons
