The Lake Hotel Killarney

10/10 Exceptional

The Lake Hotel was just gorgeous and offered attentive staff, excellent amenities and views to die for. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the thermal suite after travelling from Australia and a week of performances at the Cork Choral Festival. The whole visit was exactly what we needed. Coming to stay overnight was a gift to myself for my 60th birthday recently, the chocolates and gift of a picture of the view from the Hotel towards the lake in our room on arrival were much appreciated 🙌 ❤️

From the moment we arrived we were impressed with the high quality of the hotel and services - a warm welcome at reception, being presented with hot refresher towels, a porter for our luggage, and valet parking. The accommodation and facilities were superb. Our room was spacious, lavishly furnished, with a beautiful lounge suite and the bathroom was huge, very modern, with a large spa bath and double sink vanities. Dining options were an elegant a la carte restaurant or a more casual Irish pub...

We absolutely loved our stay at The Vero! Everything about the hotel exceeded our expectations. The property is beautifully presented, spotlessly clean, and everything looked brand new (looks like it has just been renovated!). Our room was stunning, and the bathroom was exceptionally well designed with a real luxury feel. The team made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived and were friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout our stay. Breakfast was delicious and incredible value for money,...
