“Great place to be”

In front of the gap of dunloe with lots of space in and around the hotel a great place to spend your time in Killarney. Fishing grounds on hotel premises, access to horse-back riding. Nice staff and spacious rooms.

“A pity about the pillows”

Reviewed 21 April 2013

We stayed one night in The Dunloe for a wedding. The wedding was excellent and it is a beautiful venue. The meal and staff were all first class. The only disappointment was 'comfort in bed'. The pillows were like rocks, we have never come across any pillows more uncomfortable - and they were all the same, even the spare one... More
