We really liked our stay at Killaran House, especially for the parking, the views, and the vicinity to the main streets with pubs and supermarkets (5-10 min walk). And more importantly, the host was super helpful, we chatted a bit and she gave us really useful tips! It basically saved our trip, so we were very grateful to have stayed there. Plus the breakfast was delicious and very big portions.

A very comfortable stay in a beautiful setting with friendly and gracious host and hostess - felt like home away from home. Tucked away from the busy town centre but less than 5 mins drive away. Great base for exploring Dingle area and Ring of Kerry. Connor was very helpful and informative with great recommendations on places to visit etc. Definitely recommend this place for exploring the area.

Great rooms, on the ground floor, were so comfortable. Staff were happy to accommodate requests, and provide vegan options at breakfast and dinner. Super comfortable chairs and sofa in suites. The bed was amazingly comfortable, and the Jacuzzi bath was a great, luxury addition. Maura, the other reception staff and the breakfast staff made us feel welcome and appreciated, and were happy to accommodate our requests. The Ivy Lounge has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the staff there were professional and efficient, and attentive without being fussy. Our party included 1 vegan, and we tried most items on the menu during our stay. All our choices were very good. Will definitely recommend to friends and would love to stay there again.

    We really enjoyed our stay with kids. Staff at reception was very welcoming, restaurant staff knows well to deal with kids, pool and facilities entertained kids, kids activities were also highly commendable. Kids doesn't even want to go outside hotel as they were so occupied. Family room was beyond my expectation. Very clean and spacious. Hotel even arranged child minder for the night we stayed. Taxi cost only EUR 5.

    Brilliant hotel for a family stay. Friendly staff, lovely food with big portions and variety especially at breakfast. Facilities were amazing for kids. A schedule of events was given to us at check in. The hotel had a small fairy trail, Playground, mini golf, pool (with toddler section), soft play and kids club which had a movie in the evening and even gave treats. Would highly recommend for 3 years +. We will definitely be booking again.

    This is a huge hotel on the outskirts of the city, designed for families with children. It is better to stay away if you are a childfree couple or simply want peace and solitude. Otherwise there are a lot of interesting things for children: a swimming pool, evening animation, a decent children's menu in the restaurant. Good breakfast for everyone. Lovely staff. Free hot chocolates for kids in the bar with a check-in voucher, kids love the idea. Kids club available.
