I've stayed in some amazing places and this ranks right up there if you want the Irish aristocratic country house experience--with a top restaurant and good plumbing. Beautiful lake, fabulous magical gardens and an excellent, knowledgable and friendly staff. Breakfasts were a treat, and cocktails by the fire at night a great way to relax with friends. I took a...

First trip to Ireland...found the Hotel Ard na Sidhe...a five star in every way from the moment we first arrived, to guest services, accomadations, website, food and staff were outstanding!! Their setting is extremely photographic, private and quiet... Beautiful library, curl up by one of many warm fireplaces with hot tea and biscuits...

Ard Na Sidhe caters for a niche market. It is a lovely property. Rooms very comfortable though not huge. No tea making facilities. Bed really comfortable. I slept like a log. But I was surprised to find there is not a TV in the entire building. Or a bar. You can get a short from the drinks cabinet and sit... More

The quiet and elegance of this wonderfully restored house makes you feel like you have gone back in time and are residing with a rich upper class family! The gardens and lake are beautiful to walk around after a satisfying breakfast or traditional delicious afternoon tea in the drawing room. The small scale and lack of TVs and wifi (and... More

My husband and I stayed here as part of a special offer in conjunction with a sister property, the Europe Hotel in Killarney. Ard na Sidhe is hidden away overlooking the beautiful Lake Caragh. When we arrived around 3pm on the day of our stay, the sun was shining which made the entrance to the country house and the subsequent... More

The hotel main building is beautifully decorated and is set in lovely gardens on the lakeside. From the moment we arrived we were made extremely welcome by the friendly receptionist. The library room is warm and cosy with an open fire and the perfect place to relax after a walk or before dinner. Our room in the garden was warm... More

Ard Na Sidhe is a country house on the shores of Loch Caragh. I originally had thought it was on one of the official "Lakes of Killarney", however it is on one of the smaller lakes and is off the beaten path. That is its beauty. It is not a typical hotel experience--rather it is one of quiet care and... More

I arrived at Ard na Sidhe in early summer a couple of years ago, having been directed there by a helpful reservations desk at Hotel Europe in Killarney. Both properties are owned and managed by the same proprietors and guests at Ard na Sidhe can avail themselves of leisure facilities at the much larger five star hotel in Killarney. But... More

My husband & I stayed at Ard na Sidhe for 2 nights - 1 of them our 25th wedding anniversary. 5-6jun12 We had very poor weather, but it was the perfect place to stay inside & enjoy the experience of a manor home. Our view was outstanding & we had a half day of sun that we used to explore... More
