The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens

Loved, loved, loved the Dunloe. We played tennis on carpet, ate in an incredible dining room hosted by the best waiter, drank in the sophisticated bar, and had a lovely breakfast after a comfy sleep. The quality of this place is under stated but its around you always as manifested by warm friendly staff and a nice cosy feeling. We'll be back.

really great Halloween break wit the family in October 2023. Stayed for 3 nights . The decorations and events for the kids were top class. staff were really really good and very helpful. Food was excellent for the duration of our stay from breakfast to dinner.

We first visited the Dunloe in July 2023. Our 3 year old had such a great time she never stopped talking about the Otel 😂 so we booked a return visit for 3 nights. The hotel is just beautiful, the scenery, decor, food are all fabulous. All the staff we encountered on both stays were so friendly but also excellent at what they did. We had a family room so had 2 rooms interlinked which meant when the children were asleep in their room we could relax &enjoy a cocktail in ours without being afraid of waking them. Bob down at the stables is a gem. He was so friendly to our little girl she had been talking about Mindy the horse since our first visit. She was delighted to lead her out of the stables in the morning & get to have a little trot around the yard which made her stay. The pool is lovely, stunning views from it &plenty of fresh fluffy towels. I enjoyed a massage on one visit which was so relaxing. The food is exceptional at the Dunloe. Amazing selection for breakfast. We had a light bite to eat in the bar &enjoyed dinner in the restaurant. Both service &quality of food were what you would expect from a 5 star hotel. Looking forward to visiting the Dunloe again

We had our wedding here just a few weeks ago and we are so glad we made the choice of Dunloe. Everything from food, service ,views , accomodation was second to none. Our guests had nothing but good reports to say about everything with our dessert( grand marnier parfait) being a huge hit! Bridie our server on the day was also a huge hit and such a lovely person. Jason & Rachael went above and beyond for us & nothing was ever a problem. Every staff member was fantastic & we Cannot recommend this hotel enough

Amazing friendly hotel , lovely atmosphere and a big thanks to Lisa the restaurant manager going the extra mile ... The hotel are extremely lucky to have someone like you at front of house , amazing Rooms beautiful and the views from the main dining was very relaxing. Thanks very much Beccy

Everything about the Dunloe is spectacular. We had our wedding here and couldn't be happier with how it went. Between the staff, Rachael, food and accommodation is truly 5*. We will forever be grateful for giving us the best day of our lives.

Lovely hotel reception, bar and dining room are beautiful. Family room is dated for the price. Breakfast is good. Have a kids dinner hour that is a buffet which is great but no adult meals served at that time and kids would not sit through 2 dinners. Pool was lovely and the grounds. Dinner was good if not a little small for the price. The profiteroles dessert was next level. It's a good 15 to 20 mins by car from killarney FYI.

The Dunloe is a fantastic place to spend a few days and enjoy all the amenities that are available. For me the biggest highlight was seeing the foals and their mothers in the paddock across from our room - loved feeding them apples and petting them. Our room faced the Gap of Dunloe and the paddock so every morning woke up to that lovely view. Would definitely return in a heartbeat. Wonderful spot for families as well.

We had our wedding at The Dunloe this August and I have nothing but praise for the place. There are many 5 star venues around and while the venue, rooms, food and surroundings are incredible, Rachel, Jason and the rest of the Dunloe staff really add that extra layer. I can’t say enough for the quality of service. Attentive, non-invasive but with personality still woven through. It’s a balance many establishments strive for but can’t get right. Throughout the wedding I felt like we didn’t have to worry about a thing, it was always taken care of. I can’t recommend it enough and am super happy that The Dunloe will always remain a special place to us. Looking forward to our next stay!
