Lake Hotel, Killarney

Advantages: Beautiful, unspoilt countryside. Captivating.
Disadvantages: You won't want to come home!!!

...is breathtaking and I found it a very relaxing and invigorating experience. Meeting of The Waters – Situated 10km from Killarney again on the N71. The ‘Meeting of The Waters’ is a place where the major lakes of the National Park converge. It is a place of striking natural beauty. It takes about 1hr to walk from the designated car park. Some of the walk is along a nominated footpath and then by following signposts through the countryside. The walk itself is as breathtaking as the view at the end and well worth a visit. Once reaching the ‘Meeting of The Waters’ you will find a coffee shop and toilets. Ladies View – Situated 12km from Killarney on the N71. This is one of the most spectacular views of the National Park. From here you can see as far as the eye can see. Including Irelands highest mountain range... Read review

Advantages: stunning location, large rooms
Disadvantages: located outside town centre - best accessed by car

...We stayed here as part of our honeymoon in September 2005. The hotel is located 5-10 minutes drive from Killarney town centre and has an absolutely stunning location. The hotel overlooks the lake with lovely views of the mountains (including Macgillycuddy Reeks) and gap of Dunloe. You can go for peaceful walks in the grounds and walk right down to the lake. There is a tea house in the grounds. Bedrooms: We were upgraded from a golf view room to a lake view room - these are definitely worth the extra money if you want to enjoy the view. The rooms were really large and had balconies. However the decor is not the most up to date - decorated in rather old fashioned orange and gold. The bathroom is also huge - with a bath on one side of the room and toilet and shower on the other and two huge sinks. Lots of nice extras like dressing... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful location
Disadvantages: Quite expensive!

...For all of you that have been to Lake Vyrnwy you will know what I mean when I say what a wonderful, peaceful, magical place it is, and for those of you that have not been , , , I can only say you are missing out! The Lake vyrnwy Hotel is situated in the heart of Mid Wales near the shropshire border of a town named oswetsry. High up on the rocks it sits over looking the lake and tower. It has some spectacular rooms including facilities to host a wedding with it's very own bridal suit. It has a lovely restaurant that over looks the lake and is beautiful to sit in on a summers night, the food in the restaurant is outstanding with friendly local staff waiting on( well worth a visit). There is also a tavern which does standard bar meals and also has a dining area overlooking the lake which again on a summer night is spectacular... Read review
