A dream hotel in the scenic county of Kerry in the South West of Ireland, this romantic 18 bedroom Victorian former country house is situated at Caragh Lake, 27 km from Killarney. The Hotel Ard na Sidhe was built in 1880 and the title ‘Ard na Sidhe’ means Hill of the fairies. With its valuable antique furniture and open fireplace, and the magnificent park which surrounds it, Ard na Sidhe still looks like a private residence.

At our hotel, an ambience of graceful elegance is combined with the luxury of modern comforts. But the hotel also maintains an old world enchantment with its collection of antique furnishings and paintings. Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere in our dining room where you can choose a selection of Irish and International specialties from our menu. After dinner you can adjourn to the peat fire and cosy couches where you can sip a brandy and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Accommodations at the luxury hotel consists of 18 bedrooms, 10 of the bedrooms are in the main building and eight in the Garden house. All of the hotels rooms are tastefully furnished in classical style with valuable antiques. The views from the bedrooms are exquisite.

In this idyllic setting you can relax, read, go for walks, paint, dream and simply enjoy yourself. Take a stroll through our award winning gardens between pathways of Rhododendron and Azeleas to the magic stillness and peace of Caragh Lake. Boating on the lake is available free of charge to our guests. Beautiful beaches and some of Ireland’s most spectacular golf courses are just a few minutes away by car.

Our hotel also offers an internet access.
