This friendly and relaxed hotel has superb views over Killarney's Lower Lake and MacGillicuddy Reeks. It is a gateway to the Ring of Kerry on the shores of Loch Lein.

Loch Lein Country House was voted 8th in the 'World’s Top 10 Hidden Gems' by independent travel reviewers. It is ideal for the hills, national parks and world-class golf courses of Kerry.

This family-run small hotel is amazing. The owners and staff strive for perfection and it shows: Rooms are spacious, spotless clean, well furnished and with a large window facing a beautiful field and lake. It was like waking up into an impressionist painting. Breakfast was wonderful, with a good number of choices. Owners are extremely helpful: We checked-in late after a long drive, when both the hotel restaurant and all restaurants in the area were closed. They sent us a platter of salmon sandwiches, and didn't even charge us for it. Dinner in restaurant is highly recommended.

    We loved the property, it was lovely being out in the country. So peaceful and quiet which we are used to, not far from town but very central to what we were wanting to see. John welcomed us, showed us through the cottage, he gave us so much valuable information about the area which made our stay all the better.

    Beautiful, clean, well decorated rooms and bathroom. John was a very welcoming and gracious host who made sure all our needs were met. His wife worked behind the scenes to create a really delicious breakfast- the crepes with fruit are fantastic. The location is excellent; not far from Killarney but so quiet and peaceful. We loved staying here and very highly recommended Lios Daire to any traveller wanting a quiet and luxurious home away from home.
