Right in the Heart of the Ring of Kerry

The town of Killarney is set on the Ring of Kerry which is a world famous touring route celebrated for its scenery.

Slea Head and Dingle are only an hour’s drive to the north-west of Killarney and the drive to Dingle is in itself a reason to take this trip. The charming town of Dingle and the rugged majestic landscape of Slea Head would take your breath away, a world apart from the lush, verdant beauty of Killarney and the lakes.

These are just some of the day trip options available when based in Killarney and at The Lake Hotel. There are many more and we are happy to make recommendations or assist you with information before and during your stay with us.

We are happy to provide local maps and recommend routes and refreshment stops to our guests. Packed lunches can be organized for small or large groups with advance notice. Information on day trip operators, timetables and costs are all available from Hotel Reception.
