Eat & Drink
Dining in
Two adjoining intimate dining rooms are candlelit at night. Tables are dressed in crisp linens and crystal, and menus feature a mix of Irish and international dishes. Mains range from Atlantic-caught fish to Irish beef, and the Irish cheeses to follow could well divert your eyes from the more-ish mousse of pear with Bailey's cream sauce. Other favourites include duck with blackcurrant sauce, avocado and shrimp salad and scrummy Black Forest gateau. Cosy up later around the lounge's peat fire for a post-dinner chaser.
Breakfast
Buffet breakfast is served until 10am
Room service
Available morning and evening.
See & Do
See & DoExplore lovely Caragh Lake on foot or in the hotel's rowing boat, then maybe set off for the Gap of Dunloe – an eight-mile mountain pass – followed by a trip through the three lakes of Killarney. Follow the pretty path up to the Torc waterfall, tumbling 18m into Muckross Lake, where Muckross House sits at the heart of the Killarney national park. Or make a day of it touring the scenic Ring of Kerry. If you're feeling sporty, there's swimming and tennis at Ard na Sidhe's two Killarney sister hotels, and golf nearby.
