The Lake Hotel Killarney

10/10 Excellent
"The view from the Lake Hotel is absolutely stunning, overlooking Lough Leane and the Killarney National park. There are beautiful hikes from the hotel such as to Torc waterfall and Muckross House nearby. The breakfast and dining options were exceptional and with that view every meal was an experience! All the staff that we encountered were friendly and helpful. We will definitely return when we are back in Killarney again."
