“It's Heaven at The Killeen House”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 26, 2007
5
people found this review helpful

I recently sent off a little note to Michael and Geraldine, owners of and hosts at The Killeen House in County Kerry, Ireland, and told them that now when I ponder the eternal question, What will Heaven be like?" I imagine something that looks exactly like The Killeen House--inside and out--to be the mansion to which my husband and I would hopefully be assigned by Saint Peter. Everything about our stay at The Killeen House was outstanding. The hotel is charming and darling inside and out; our bedroom was sparkling clean and comfortably gorgeous. The food was excellent, served in a lovely dining room. There is also the coziest bar and a lovely parlor with a computer available, with free access for guests. The staff members were delightfully friendly and most helpful. The grounds of The Killeen House and the area in walking distance to Killeen House provide one grand view of the countryside after another--It was our first stop of a 13-day visit to Ireland, and it was our favorite place to stay of all. Michael and Geraldine, made us all (there were six of us in all) feel most welcome on our very first day in Ireland and throughout our stay with them; when we left, we felt as though we were leaving good family, and nothing would be better than to look forward to returning to beautiful Killeen House again in the future.

Geraldine and Michael are wonderful hosts. The Killeen House was a perfect resting spot for the 3 days we spent in Killarney. The staff was friendly and helpful, the food was marvelous. We would highly recommend to any traveler, and we would definately return to the Killeen House ourselves.

“A Wonderful Experience”

I recently returned from a two-week trip to Ireland. We started our journey with a three-night stay at Killeen House Hotel. This was a perfect beginning to a trip around Ireland. Michael and Geraldine were gracious hosts, the staff was excellent, the food was great. This is a prime example of Irish hospitality at its best.

If you are going to County Kerry, by all means stay here. I know I will if I return to Ireland.

“Magnificent!”

I think the title says it all!
I was first attracted to this hotel by the cuisine. One of the only reasonably priced places in Ireland that promised Lobster on the menu!
The welcome was second to none, pure Irish hospitality, which is being lost in some other hotels. The rooms very comfortable and locate a short distance away from the town, so very peaceful! The staff went out of their way to accomodate us and tried to book us some day trips etc
The highlight of this hotel is the cuisine. The chef should have a Michelin star. I ended up eating the rack of lamb 2 nights in a row as it was so good!
I advise all staying to book using their dinner bed and breakfast menu, and dont eat lunch before to ensure you have enough room for dessert!
The hotel is also very close to top golf courses and the owner a lover of the game. The bar area walls are covered in golf balls and has a lovely quirky feel.
Cant wait to return!

“My Favorite Place on Earth”

I first came to the Killeen House Hotel in 1997, and Michael and Geraldine Rosney welcomed me in and made me feel as at home as anywhere I have ever stayed. I've been back twice since then, and would insist that anyone traveling to Killarney treat themselves to a stay at the Killeen House Hotel(and actually have insisted on several occasions).

The food at Rozzer's (the Killeen House Hotel restaurant) is unsurpassed. In fact, it is on par with any of the finest restaurants in my home town of San Francisco.

The staff is always warm, accommodating and friendly, making sure any special needs of the weary traveler or golfer are met. You will know most of them by name by the time you check-out (a very sad occasion).

The heart of the hotel is the pub, where you will find thousands of golf balls covering the walls, all of them with a different logo. The craic in this room filters throughout the lobby and is absolutely infectious. But fear not for a good night's sleep, as you can hear a pin drop in the residence areas of the hotel.

In short, you will be very hard-pressed to find a better place to stay anywhere in Ireland than the Killeen House Hotel. It was such a special place to me and my family that my late father's picture hangs in the pub. That is the sort of relationship that the proprietors are able to forge with their guests and is the reason why most of their business is from return customers who invariably become returning friends. YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!
