Beautiful location
Pros:

Beautiful setting, the view is incredible on a clear day. Lovely big clean room, good location to explore the local area.

Cons:

The service was a slow in the bar and the food in the bar wasn’t what we expected for a 5* hotel. We only ate in the bar so cannot comment on the food in the main restaurant.

Amazing Hotel
Pros:

Stayed here last year when we were getting married in Killarney registry office.

This hotel is really amazing, it's so welcoming and cosy and the staff are all so lovely.

The rooms are decorated beautifully and have all facilities you could ever need. There are robes and slippers provided.

The views are outstanding.

Food in the bar was delicious and breakfast was great too.

I did not like the pool, but that was personal preference, there was nothing wrong with it. The spa is lovely too.

They have a lovely concierge who will drive you to Killarney town if he is available.

Would recommend this hotel to anyone, it really is special.

Solo stay with Aghadoe
Pros:

Loved my stay with Aghadoe. After a previous slight issue, they went above and beyond in rolling out the red carpet to me and throughout the stay were really attentive to my stay. Breakfast was amazing and just a really good hotel to unwind.

A truly phenomenal experience!!!
Pros:

I had the absolute pleasure and absolute blessing to recieve a massage from Anna. I honestly think calling it just a massage is even a disservice to Anna. It was a total immersion experience and I have never been brought out of my head and thoughs and into my body fully until Anna's magical hands and care.

She is the most attentive masseuse and the most committed to ensuring you have an incredible experience from head to toe literally. Every single touch from Anna was done with the utmost care and precision, she truly is a talent and the love she has for her work really shines through.

I wouldn't even call it work for Anna it has to be a vocation. The care afterwards was amazing, she had my tea ready, a little dessert and tucked me in for further relaxation after the massage. Honestly a 1000/10 experience and I will be back for sure!!

Thank you again Anna for such a beautiful experience, I truly feel replenished in mind body and soul ❤️

Stayed with a group of friends
Pros:

I stayed for one night with a group of friends. This is a beautiful hotel in a fantastic location. The views of the lakes and the nature surrounding the hotel are stunning. The rooms were so comfortable and spacious. The food at dinner and breakfast was so fresh and tasty. The pool and jacuzzi were spotless. But mostly the staff are so friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this hotel
