The Lily of the Lake

Overlooking the tranquil waters of Lough Leane, colourful Killarney is a top Irish tourist destination. The UNESCO-listed Killarney National Park surrounds Muckross House, a stately home sitting in large grounds with a traditional farm.

A tree-lined lane leads to Muckross Abbey, a former Franciscan monastery whose cloisters enclose a tall yew tree. Celtic crosses line the cemetery and beyond is the lake, at the centre of which is a tree-lined outcrop, home of the historic Ross Castle. This 15th-century stone fortress once housed the O’Donoghue clan, one of whom reportedly lives at the bottom of the lough.

More legends envelop the Ring of Kerry – a scenic drive starting from Killarney and supposedly the last place to spot a leprechaun. Gushing Torc waterfall is just one of its fantastic sights.

In Killarney itself, horse-drawn carts roam narrow streets whose Irish pubs offer great nightlife. Impressive St Mary’s Cathedral has a towering spire and somewhat dark interior. The local gaelic football team play at Fitzgerald Stadium, and more sports can be enjoyed at Killarney riding stables and the nearby golf and fishing club. There is also a popular racecourse.

Accommodation in Killarney on Booking.com includes 5-star lakeside hotels, B&Bs near the train station and town centre guest houses. All with that trademark Irish hospitality.

    Killarney has so much to offer.

    Killarney has so much to offer. Walks into the National park, shops, restaurants and great entertainment. Easy access to Ring of Kerry, Dingle, Bearra Peninsula. So so much to offer. Our favourite places to visit - Ross Castle, Muckross House and Dinis Cottage. Dennaugh Cottage , Kenmare and Castlecove beach on Ring of Kerry. A must visit is Strawberry Fields Pancake house on Road from Molls Gap and of course Kate Kearneys and the Gap of Dunloe.

    Poor signposting in Kerry, Killarney is difficult enough to get around by car but with so many hotels and B n B available, it is always busy. Not enough car parking spaces. Cathedral a place of tranquility and time to be quiet, away from the busy streets. Great shopping and entertainment available. Loved the Park, boat ride and Muckross House.

    Its a small town at the start of the Ring of Kerry.

    Its a small town at the start of the Ring of Kerry. It was an excellent location to start the Ring. Its quite pretty and the area is full of restaurants, pubs and cafes - just what is needed. It is small and very walkable. I'm not aware of things to do there as only stopped for one night for the Ring trip the next day. I don't know what the place is like when there aren't tourists.

    Killarney is such a charming town and the surrounding areas...

    Killarney is such a charming town and the surrounding areas are just beautiful. So much to see and enjoy. A little crowded this time I. August but we knew it would be more crowded this time. The Earls Court House was a wonderful place to stay. The property is unique and beautiful and the staff was so friendly. It was also just a short walk into town. Well worth the stay and I would recommend this property.

    Staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast is excellent. Rooms are spotlessly clean and even have Sky Sports channels. Car parking is easy and free by parking at the sister hotel only 100 yards down the road. The location is excellent being only a short walk to the town centre or to the country park. Could not fault this hotel in any way.

    A wonderful location, with an easy five minute walk into the town centre. Plenty of parking on site. A lovely spacious room with modern decor, beautiful comfortable bed and excellent bathroom. One of the nicest rooms we stayed in during our time in Ireland.
