The manor has one of the most impressive parts of Ireland’s natural history at its doorstep. Killarney National Park is the largest and oldest national park in Ireland. The highest mountain range in Ireland, McGillycuddy’s Reeks, are contained within the park, complemented by the world-famous lakes of Killarney. The combination of mountains and valleys, lakes and islands, rivers, waterfalls, bogs and woodlands forges a distinctive landscape, unique to this beautiful region. After a day exploring the surrounding natural beauty, enjoy a scenic 20-minute walk to discover the best restaurants, bars and boutique shopping in Killarney town centre. Killarney is well known as the home of Irish traditional music, and the traditional pubs are lively almost every evening.
Killarney has walks to suit all ages and abilities; from a short scenic stroll through Killarney National Park to exhilarating hikes in the MacGillicuddy Reeks, the highest mountain range in Ireland. Many of the best walks and hikes start from the hotel or bikes are available for guests to borrow if you’d prefer a scenic cycle. We can also provide a picnic from the estate's award-winning restaurant for you to enjoy by the lake. Details of the best hikes in the Killarney area are available for guests or private guides can be arranged through the on-site concierge.
