    ...The tea room is beautiful from what we could see as we did not use it but the decor looked quite nice . The monks lounge is basic and lacking atmosphere we went for a drink in the afternoon and only seats available were 4 stools at the bar which was fine but not the nicest experience , a rugby match was due on the tv and naturally was an interest to other hotel guests who also struggled to get a seat or space in this tiny area of a bar for hotel guests !!!!... Breakfast was included in the stay , the room it was held in was dated , carpet and curtains dated and just a berry old fashioned feel, even though the table was for 4 people there was barely enough room for all the different plates and cups etc... Beds were comfy and overall staff were very pleasant...

    In so many ways this is an outstanding five star hotel but the room let it down... In the room, the shower pressure was excellent... But sadly, the room just wasn’t in keeping with the rest of the hotel... Sadly there was a noisy fan outside the room which left us with a choice between a room that was too hot and a noisy one... Room - 3/5 Everything else 5/5 Maybe we were unlucky on the room we got...

    ...Unfortunately, amidst all the attentiveness they managed to mix up our rooms, we were given the wrong room (this room had a veranda with an ashtray full of cigarette butts on a table), they lost our luggage and we were waiting around 90mins before been shown the correct room... Our bedroom was lovely and clean as was the bathroom... We ended up going up to our room at 10.30pm as the hotel was acting like all residents were asleep... I'm not sure I would recommend the hotel as some nights the prices are quite high...

Rooms were average at best , clean and somewhat spacious however one room had a blood stain on the towel , the socket next to the bed was coming away at the wall and a large iron mark on the carpet and cobwebs in the bathroom , not a 5* standard that you would expect... The tea room is beautiful from what we could see as we did not use it but the decor looked quite nice ...

    ...We got massages there and they were excellent and in comparison to most hotel/resort prices for massages, they were not overpriced (125 euro for 60 mins)... You definitely get what you pay for considering it is 57 euro for 2 courses or 69 euro for 3 courses... The food is great, but if on a budget, it is not necessary to eat here... It is a fine dining restaurant, so if you are willing to spend that, you won’t be disappointed... But truthfully, this is something you can skip and spend your money elsewhere...

    As usual from the minute you enter Muckross park hotel you are warmly welcomed back like old friends from the porters to the reception staff... Lovely to meet some new staff both in Monks Lounge and the Yew Tree restaurant for breakfast the following morning... We enjoyed a crisp but lovely walk in Muckross across the road before we came back to the room where we each had a bathroom so availed of a shower and a bath checkout... The staff in Muckross park hotel are some of the nicest people I've met and special thanks goes to both the manager and Regina for a fantastic stay, see you all again in 2023...

    ...The staff are incredibly friendly and will go out of their way to look after you. They always leave a welcome note and chocolates/prosecco to celebrate our anniversary which is such a lovely gesture... Check in/check out is also incredibly quick and easy - made even quicker by the emailed invoice on the morning of checkout... The price is quite reasonable considering the quality of the menu and how well looked after you feel... The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgable... The couples massage is a really nice treat and the relaxation room is amazing... Thank you for looking after us and we can't wait for our next visit...

    Myself and my partner stayed at this wonderful hotel for 1 night over the Christmas period. It was fabulous from the very start, Shane at reception was a pleasure to deal with, our bags were taken to our room and we followed shortly after... We ate in Gogans bar, which was lovely, listening to great live music and being served drinks by Joe, who was a pleasure... We had breakfast delivered to our room the next morning, which was fantastic...

The spa treatments were wonderful along with the vitality suite... We were offered complementary bikes to go into the park but we chose to nap instead :) If you are going to spend your money on a hotel stay during these uncertain times, Muckross park hotel and spa is the place to do it...

    First thing to say is all the people that work here are so friendly and professional and a special Thank you to Gerry the concierge for making our few days there very memorable. When you want a day trip scheduled with a guided tour, he hooked us up with Moses and he took all 8 of us on a grand tour and learned so much from him of the history and way of life... Gerry also had a friend at our next stop the Adare Manor and all I have to say is a big Thank you!...

We enjoyed a delicious dinner and fun night out in town on recommendation from the front desk at check in and lots of laughs with concierge over my determination to bicycle through the park in the 'mizzle' and gale force winds after breakfast on our last day...

    ...We thoroughly enjoyed afternoon tea in the Tea Room, with a wide variety of tea to choose from as well as some delicious sandwiches, scones and sweet treats too! After that my wife was treated to an expectant mother massage, and I have never seen her look so relaxed afterwards!... We also enjoyed a fine dining meal in the Yew Tree Restaurant, which was magical, with a delicious three course meal, and fantastic service!... Breakfast was included too, and it was the perfect way to start the day with a selection of pastries and a full Irish Breakfast!... We will certainly be back in the future, thanks so much to all the staff at Muckross Hotel and Spa!...

    ...Staff were fantastic and definitely are huge contributors to the hotels 5 star rating... Typically when i stay in 5 star hotels, the managers introduce themselves and make their presence felt throughout the stay by checking in with you from time to time... Thanks though to Oisin for the friendly and efficient assistance throughout our stay... The breakfast service was fast, efficient and friendly courtesy of the lovely Bernadette, Christian, Uros and his Team... We had some Spa treatments and both therapists, Phillipa & Amanda were amazing... The Spa is definitely worthy of 5 stars with its Vitality suite and the excellent therapists... But the Muckross Spa definitely lived up to its 5 stars... And also the lovely waitress Trish who looked after us with friendly efficiency...

    ...the hotel offers a complimentary bike hire which is perfect to experience the park. from the moment we checked in to the moment we were checked out the hotel staff were absolutely immaculate... friendly helpful and extremely courteous... if any element of the 5 star rating of this hotel is most exemplified its in the attitude and behaviour of the staff... my wife got a massage and facial whilst I spent 2 hrs in the vitality suite and also went back there the following morning before we left... the dining options were also excellent we had breakfast in the yew tree restaurant where again the friendliness and professionalism of the staff is paramount... for breakfast you receive a stand of pastries and fruit as well as a huge range of cooked options or cereals, more fruits cold meats etc all served to your table so no need to queue for a buffet which was brilliant...

    ...I rang Muckross hotel and spoke to Brian Murphy and explained what happened and if there was any availability at such short notice. Brian was so understanding and accommodating during what was a very stressful time... Brian booked us 3 apartments in Muckross complex along with breakfast on the Sunday at such a reasonable price and organised our activities such as use of the vitality suites which were amazing... We had dinner in the monks lounge on the Friday we arrived and it was so gorgeous, 10/10... My mother got a free glass of champagne from the women who served us due to her celebrating her 50th birthday and she was so nice and helpful... The breakfast on the Sunday was lovely and just what was needed after being in Killarney town the night before and the variety of food was like nothing I have seen before... I really what to thank Brian for all his help the weekend in sorting the apartments to getting us down for the spa and breakfast on such short notice due to our flight to Rome been cancelled the Thursday morning... We had a great time, hotel itself is fabulous and all the staff are so friendly, we will definitely be back...

Food was delicious and we are still getting compliments to this day regarding the meal and how much the staff went above and beyond... The bridal suite was brilliant - from having enough space for 6 adults to get ready to still being romantic for the bride and groom... They even had our room decorated for us with rose petals and another bottle of Prosecco after the wedding which was a nice touch... All our guests were thrilled with their rooms and spoke about how lovely the rooms were... I can't thank the staff at Muckross enough, they really made our day...

    From the first moment we arrived, we could tell Muckross was a cut above the rest... It was the staff which made this place better than the rest... We were greeted by everyone we passed with offers to help with our luggage even though it wasn’t part of their duties... Throughout the stay we had helpful offers of places to eat or ways to explore... Biking the park with provided bikes was so much fun... Housekeeping did an excellent job with our room... The various restaurant staff were great at managing all of the tables, never leaving us sitting and waiting for too long... I can’t say enough thanks to our breakfast hostess who sent us on our way with a box of extra goodies so we didn’t have to stop for snacks on our drive back to Dublin... That little extra meant so much to us and guaranteed that we will visit Muckross in the future... Thank you again to everyone who made our stay the best ever,...

    We had our wedding at Muckross Park Hotel on 20 May 2022 and are still not over how amazing it was - all thanks to the wonderful staff at the hotel! We had a perfect and stress-free wedding day (and day 2 BBQ at Colgan's pub) thanks to them - especially Orla (our wedding coordinator), Daniel (the hotel manager) and Deirdre (the reservations manager)... The location of the hotel (right beside the national park) means that we were easily able to get beautiful photographs with our families and bridal party without missing too much of the party... Orla even arranged jaunting cars to take us to the park (and packed up some food and drinks for us to enjoy on the way), which is a lovely memory itself from the day... 5 stars doesn't even begin to cover the level of service and attention to detail shown to us during our stay!... One of our suppliers cancelled on the day of the wedding and Orla went out of her way to find us a replacement photobooth provider so the problem was solved before we were even aware of it... We can highly recommend having your wedding at Muckross Park Hotel...

    We were thoroughly impressed with the accommodations at Muckross Park Hotel and Spa. The rooms are impeccably clean and spacious... The food and service at Monks surpassed even my husband’s high expectations... The breakfast is an absolute must, a photo worthy buffet and carefully curated menu guaranteed to please... It is a very short drive to town, which is worth the trip... However, the hotel’s proximity to Muckross House and park, along with the abbey makes the location truly ideal... You can easily walk the well paved park and enjoy the natural scenery and history of the respective buildings... The concierge was so helpful in ensuring our checklist of sightseeing was fulfilled and helped us get to the nearby waterfall-simply magical!... Our greatest regret was checking out and not having time for the spa... Thank you to Muckross Park Hotel and Spa and their incredible team of concierge specialists, bartenders, chefs, wait staff, housekeeping, and all who made our stay so memorable...

We were welcomed back by the lovely ladies on reception... When we arrived to our bedroom there was a lovely , thoughtful welcome back gift waiting for us with a complementary bottle of Prosecco and a welcome back platter of chocolates with a personalised message for myself and Ciaran... The bedroom was fit for a king and queen with the amazing four poster canopy bed!... We throughly enjoyed dinner in Colgans which had the added benefit of live music... Breakfast the next morning was delicious and had a wonderful choice ... The spa and thermal suite was so relaxing... Thank you for an incredible stay and for providing the extra touches like the bottle of bubbly and chocolates... Without a doubt our favourite 5 star hotel!...

The Monks Lounge has a really warm atmosphere and a nice menu... I haven't yet visited the new afternoon tea lounge but it looks absolutely stunning - exactly like the photos on the main hotel page... The spa is one of the best parts of this hotel... The couples massage is a really nice treat and the relaxation room is amazing... The whole experience is incredible but make sure you get there early to try the hot stone/ceramic loungers!... I always recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway...

We were delighted we picked Muckross Park Hotel for our wedding in September. We could tell from the initial viewing with Orla, the venue’s wedding coordinator, and Niall, the events manager, that the staff were friendly, extremely helpful and very experienced. The overall setting is beautiful, not only did we have a choice of reception rooms, there was a separate stunning ceremony room and garden that we were able to use for our drinks reception, avoiding repeated use of the same room during the day, a factor which put us off a lot of other venues where the ceremony and reception rooms are one and the same. On the day itself, we went to the beautiful National Park across the road for our photographs, allowing us to return to the reception quickly as the hotel is so close by. Orla and Niall had great relationships with the majority of our other wedding suppliers (such as Tie the Knot Weddings, our celebrant Ealish Whillock, Konrad and Adam Paprocki (our photographer/videographer) and Gabi Bakes Cakes) which helped lessen our to-do list on the morning of the wedding. We had our reception in the Abbey Suite which was everything we had hoped it would be, the food and wine were complimented by everyone as being some of the best they’ve ever had at a wedding. Orla and Dónal ensured that the day and evening flowed smoothly with everything happening at the time it was supposed to, again taking a load off of us as a result. We also had our Day 2 in the hotel, enjoying the spa and the National Park with our guests early in the day, having more fantastic buffet food in Colgan’s bar in the late afternoon and finally finishing up the day by having sublime cocktails in the Monk’s Lounge later in the evening. The breakfast is also worth a mention, with a massive variety and the most accommodating staff that couldn’t do enough for us. Some of our guests were even sent away with boxes of pastries and were absolutely delighted! Overall we couldn’t recommend the Muckross Park Hotel and Spa highly enough and encourage anyone in two minds to go ahead and book it for your special day!

We recently held a Doctor's Conference here with bedrooms, private dining and drinks reception, From the first email this conference was in very safe hands with Josie, O Kelly Sales and Marketing Manager, nothing was too much trouble and every email answered so promptly and efficiently. Lucian and Filip were outstanding and their attention to detail was second to none, Chris Rogan Guest Experience Manager was also a hospitality superstar he was on hand throughout the drinks reception and dinner and was simply amazing a real asset and credit to the hotel. The feedback on food, drinks, conference, and entertainment was wonderful and all of the network doctors and partners really enjoyed. This hotel delivered what I believe to be old School hospitality and 6 star service and we look forward to returning here both as a company and for leisure visits

Let me start by saying I normally don't leave reviews but muckross park hotel definitely deserves it. Myself and my now wife had this pleasure of staying and celebrating our wedding at this fabulous venue. From our first contact with them the service was fantastic. No question was too much and if I said we were treated like royalty from the start it is no exaggeration. The venue looked fabulous across the 3 areas. And us asking to move objects from the ceremony to the function room was no issue. Niall and Orla were fantastic in making sure the day went smooth and better than we could have expected. The concierge made you feel like a local and reminded me of the cheers catchphrase "where everyone knows your name" And the wait staff were so friendly it fell like we knew them by the end of the day. The overall experience was better than we could have imagined and I'm not sure we would have had the day we had it we went anywhere else. Thank you to all the staff and management for yer help in the run up to the day and the day itself. Also the vendors they chose to partner with are second to none and people are still talking about them a week later.

We stayed at Muckross Park for a few days for a special family celebration and we all had the most wonderful time. We couldn't have chosen a better location as the staff throughout the hotel were exceptionally helpful and friendly and made sure we had a most memorable celebration. Our group included a vegetarian and a vegan and the staff in the restaurant went to no end of trouble to ensure they had the most delicious meals. We really enjoyed our time in the Vitality Suite and the Spa and will definitely make a return visit.

The hotel is located at a little road outside Killarney. It features two beautiful Restaurants, the Yee Tree and The Monks lounge. The Spa in the hotel is really beautiful with a relaxing pool with jet streams and several sauna and steam rooms. Food Was delicious, the Yee Tree Restaurant had a nice classical music in the background playing. Service was top notch. Breakfast is with part buffet and part cooked to order. The lobby is beautifully decorated, too. Ideal for exploring the area.

My wife and I stayed here for two nights after our wedding as a mini honeymoon to just have time together before going back to real life. From the second we arrived we were treated like royalty!! Everyone congratulated us and made us feel special. Every single staff member went above and beyond for us. The afternoon tea, spa treatments and dinner were exemplary. The breakfast in bed was fantastic. The massage was the best we had ever experienced. I honestly cannot say enough great things. We felt so welcomed and it really made the entire week even more amazing which I didn’t think possible. Everything was catered for and we had the best time of our lives. If we can swing it financially we would go back every year for our anniversary and just relive every great moment we had! Thank you Muckross Park for making our week wonderful

My sister got married in the hotel and we all stayed for 3 nights. The staff couldn’t do enough to help us - the morning of the wedding they made sure we were relaxed and the wedding from start to finish was fabulous! The food was amazing and the spa was a lovely treat to help us recover!
