Park Hotel Kenmare

everything was amazing except the food.

Food was very disappointing we had dinner on the first night and decided we not eat in the hotel again. Portions were so small very bad value for the prices we were charged. We were willing to pay the prices on the menu ,but we were very disappointed with what we got.

The public areas and restaurant were excellent. The spa was really exceptional with a 25 metre lap pool, sauna and full gym facilities. The staff were first rate. Welcoming, friendly and very helpful. The General Manager called TJ was simply delightful and a true professional who without hesitation upgraded our rooms when we mentioned our concerns as detailed below. Could not have been more helpful.

For their price the rooms we were offered initially were disappointing. On the small side with a "garden view" that was restricted and not of the main garden and bay which is a major feature of the hotel's location. The beds had no duvets and only sheets and blankets and the mattresses weren't particularly comfortable. Strangely the sheets were undersized for the king-sized mattress, so wouldn't tuck in securely. The decor of the rooms tried too hard to present a bygone era of grandeur, in my and my daughter's opinions. Very heavy bedspreads and curtains with many dark old paintings and portraits. The result was a bit gloomy!

The Park Hotel is a fantastic retreat for a short getaway with delicious food, a relaxing spa, piano lounge, golf, and beautiful walks around the grounds of this historic hotel. A special mention for the staff who were courteous and friendly but never overwhelming. Free tea and carrot cake in the afternoon, exactly the tonic after a long walk. We also had a free electric charge point at our disposal, so the little things really do help!

The suites were very comfortable, although there was no iron board and iron in the room (perhaps request one on arrival), no safe, no A/C, nor wine glasses for that special occasion. Mirrors and hair drying will be a challenge, so bring one with a long lead. Small insignificants, but you can request everything most items from the hotel reception.

This Relais and Chateux hotel is in a perfect location in Kenmare, and has beautiful, traditional facilities. We spent three wonderful nights here visiting from the U.S. on our first trip to Ireland, and received flawless service. The food was first class, as were the linens, toiletries, and accomodations, and there was a very comfortable bed. We also loved the gardens and walkways which are contiguous with a park, so it is easy to do a 3-mile easy and relaxing loop walk combining gardens, woods, and water (you can also continue the walk by incorporating the town Heritage Walk).

I liked everything about it!

The welcome from the car park! in met us in car park ! Sean everything was exceptional,! the young people on duty Thursday to Saturday especially the Ukrainian young lady and in deed all the young people, friendly smiling, asking us if we ok . The young person cleaning the rooms on our floor 216 helped us down with bags on sat My husband heart conditions so most Greatful , the music each evening the beautiful room the relaxed yet attention to detail old world class, the welcome we received from Linda thanks

All was good

The warm Irish welcome The food The walks on the grounds The extremely comfortable bed & pillows The outdoor spa pool The decor and building stays true to Victorian heritage The welcome sheep on bed The lady on the piano in the bar was amazing (they have music every evening) The cake & tea at 4pm

Didn’t have a safe in room Sauna was only available to men (this didn’t impact me on our stay but had it I would have felt annoyed)

Nice views over the lake, very good breakfast (well served), polite staff, quiet and luxurious ambience, charming bedroom and good location to do a lot of hikes, trekking

Spa was fully booked and we were not able to get an appointment in our four-day stay (I guess is small for the demand the have), they could offer in-room service

Newly and impeccably refurbished, wonderful staff, Michelin standard food

Breakfast was great,very good choice and served very quickly.Dinner was very nice,but I felt choice was limited,and it was an extra charge for veg or potatoes with main course

More choice on dinner menu ..chicken,or steak would've been nice ..not a lover of lamb,so beef or fish dish.

Everything. The room was incredible, the view from the room was second to none. The staff were incredible and the bar had a fantastic Whiskey selection. The furniture on the corridors, in the room and at reception were just stunning. I know the next time I will have to book for longer.

Nothing - I have never said that about a hotel.
