Great hotel in isolated spot

This hotel was faultless in presentation and service with everyone bending over backwards to help with any requests you may have. Breakfast was also very good with a selection of cold foods and hot..although maybe lacking in imagination it was competent and filling...As they say ,it's a great hotel..

A fantastic small hotel with great location

I would have stayed here my entire vacation if I could. Annette, the proprietor, met us in the driveway to welcome us to the hotel. We arrived too late for dinner, but she directed us to the nearby Hotel Europe for a good, quick, late bite to eat. The property is right on the lake, and with bikes and a lakefront walking path nearby, the grounds itself are worth staying around for. The start of the Ring of Kerry is about 5 minutes away and Annette gave us perfect recommendations on things to see and do on the Ring. The town is about a 10 minute drive, but very convenient. This was our favorite breakfast of all of our hotels- catered to our specific requests and had good hot and continental options. We bought our own wine and sat in the yard for a whole night and loved it. The young man (?Mathew) that works there was very friendly and helpful. The room itself was spacious, clean, and comfortable. I had a fantastic two night stay there and would recommend to everyone for a relaxing stay near Killarney.

A wonderful experience in Killarney

We had a wonderful stay at Loch Lein. The house was beautifully presented and our room was fantastic. A large room that had all the comforts of home. The staff were very welcoming and our every need was catered for. We were given assistance with ideas on where to sightsee and this was incredibly helpful. Breakfast was lovely set in a beautiful room overlooking the property. We would highly recommend this location.

Perfection in every detail

At a surprisingly moderate rate Loch Lein Country House offers five star quality in service, food and the house itself. We spent 3 nights in s family suite, spacious and with a very luxurious bathroom (and fortunately lake view!) Dinner is a must if you have the chance! Our little kids were taken care of in the best way possible and my 5-year old didn't want to leave!

Great view

My husband and I stayed at Loch Lein Country House for 4 nights. It was right in the middle of our 15 day trip around the Southwest of Ireland and it was the perfect place to stay and relax. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable and the views of the lake and countryside are amazing. Paul and Annette are wonderful hosts…friendly, helpful and a delight to talk to. The breakfast was very tasty and the menu had many choices to choose from…our favorite the house special omelet. You could sit at the dining room all morning just admiring the view. The guesthouse is located a short drive from Killarney’s beautiful town center, so it's easy to get to. The town center has many places to shop and great pubs. Loch Lein was our favorite accommodation during our trip. We highly recommended.
