Review just for Thai restaurant. Friendly staff ( but I don’t agree with face piercings in restaurant). Starters were a mixture of fairly tasteless, deep fried, supermarket style spring rolls and such like. My main course was a beef stir fry with rice. There was no way it was stir fry as there was a watery juice instead of sauce. Tasted quite bland. Had to use the watery sauce on the rice to spruce that up. Dessert: the 2 tastiest sounding ( both Thai ) were unavailable so ended up with run of the mill ice cream. Nice looking restaurant and location but very pricey for the quality you get. There were very little cooking sounds coming from the kitchen direction considering I heard the deep fat fryer being used. By the way, the prices shown on the online menu are outdated, be prepared to pay more. I did not stay at the hotel as I was quoted €250 for a room. I would not eat here again.

We stayed there on April 3rd. My wife and I have stayed in 5 star resorts and hotels all over the world. This is our third time staying there and we both agree that we prefer staying there over any other hotel worldwide. We stayed in the Alexander suite this time. It was spectacular waking up to the birds chirping. A wonderful Thai dinner combined with a full Irish breakfast was icing on the cake. Highly recommend a stay there. Make sure you put aside a few yours to walk the gardens and beach.

This gem is off the beating track but well worth the visit. We went on the only sunny day we had in Kells. The views are spectacular and a lot of trails to follow. Much thought was put into this attraction. The waterfalls as you enter draw you in. One must try the rope bridge. It's a bit scary but worth the adventure.

We visited by public transport, catching the Local Link bus from Killarney. The walk down from the bus stop took about 20 minutes and we arrived shortly before the garden opened. There is a hotel there and they were happy to serve us a very good cup of coffee. The gardens are absolutely delightful. I read one review which said it was just 'a walk in the woods' and so it was but what a fantastic walk. There are natural streams, dramatic waterfalls, beautiful ferns and impressive trees. There is no gift shop or ice cream kiosk or even rubbish bins to distract. You just slow down and enjoy nature. I would recommend going early, we had the place virtually to ourselves and it was magical. Early June was just right for the rhododendron and camelia flowers. The rope bridge was fun and we also enjoyed spotting the dinosaurs.

So looking forward to this visit. The location is fantastic. It is worth walking down to the beach also and having a swim. The garden itself is lovely, but looking a little unloved. Beautiful tree ferns and dinosaur sculptures. The landscaping does not progress well in the car park and cafe. Much more attention to detail in required here and around the sitting area. Please invest in a proper plant sales centre, or don't bother at all. Invest some of that design excellence around the cafe.

An amazing garden treat ! What a gem. Visit on a sunny day! Beautiful and extensive gardens with ferns at its core and nature all around. Good paths and coffee shop on site. Also a fabulous walkway bridge not for faint hearted. Stunning views too. Takes finding but well signposted.

This is a very beautiful and extraordinary place, where you can wander amongst 10 foot tall tree ferns, and feel the ancient wonder of plant life. I am sure they need to recount - there must be more than 600 of the beauties. It has a wild feel, with just enough human intervention to keep the paths clear! Soak it in and walk slowly. Also excellent tea at the cafe!

First impressions left much to be desired. There were kittens everywhere, including on the tables and drinking out of milk jugs left on patio tables. Not a good look when there is a Thai restaurant on-site! Reception area could have done with an overhaul. Built in units must have been removed as the undercoat paint was evident. There were also people dining very close to us, felt bizarre for a reception area. The room was beautiful, airy and relatively clean, could have done with a vacuum. Once you figure out how to enter the nearest car park to the house, via an unmoving barrier, parking is signposted for residents, behind the buildings via an extremely narrow gap. We saw a beautiful car being scraped off the wall in an effort to pass through. DO NOT PARK THERE if you are nervous of narrow driveways. Dinner was served quite late, regardless of booking time, with a plate of prawn crackers being offered to stifle any pangs of hunger one may develop. The couple next to us were given a second serving of crackers, and weee not impressed, as it meant their dinner was to be served at a much later stage🥴 We had planned on eating there the second night, but cancelled it. Breakfast was good, once you opted for the cooked, as the continental servings were not replenished, regardless of how many were for breakfast 🙁 We don’t get to go away too often and was disappointed with the atmosphere and Faulty Tower’esque way the place is managed. Will most definitely not be returning, and will not be recommending.

Really beautiful walk..really enjoyed our time spent in the garden. We returned to the Coffee Shop after our walk in the garden (around 4pm) but were told rudely that the Coffee Shop was closed and the door literally slammed in our faces. Very disappointing especially as we had enjoyed the rest of our time at Kells Garden. Would love to go back to Kells Garden again but will avoid the Coffee Shop in future.
