It was perfect! In the middle of Kenmare yet totally private. So many amenities and the service was excellent. Our party of 4 was thrilled with this property.

Beautiful hotel and grounds but the staff was the best part! Everyone we came in contact in was lovely & so kind and accommodating. I'm not certain about all the rooms, but 222 did not have an outlet near a mirror which made it difficult to dry hair but that's the only con I have with Park Hotel.

amazing hotel
what a hotel :) and the team were just amazing, special thanks to the manager of the front desks to accommodates us and offer us even better room, during our stay every one in the hotel were amazing, so nice and kind and took care of our needs. I highly recommend this hotel if you want to enjoy 5plus star service and beautiful scenery, the great point of the hotel was it was in the middle of city too, so in a minute you walk out you were in the town which was nice.

Seriously overpriced for whats on offer
Friendly and attentive staff. Excellent restaurant – food cooked and presented very well. Room was dated and caught in a 1950s timewarp. No air-con or fan provided. No fridge nor tea/coffee making facilities. Bed seen better days. Outrageously overpriced at €550/night WITHOUT breakfast. At that price point there are so many better options available in Ireland. When I complained to front-desk staff about the price without breakfast, was told that hotels.com bookings never include breakfast – something that is obviously untrue. This hotel might suit some people but I won't be going back.

The service was outstanding the staff super friendly. The grounds were beautifully maintained and there was always something going on. You’d never know this tranquil and beautiful setting was just steps from town at the end of their driveway which made it the perfect blend of two worlds. Definitely coming back to this gem!!!

Great location - easy to walk into town for anything, but still feels a little removed/secluded. Our room was absolutely lovely and had a wonderful view out the window. The check-in and out staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Superbly charming and modern country hotel!
Our family stay at the Hotel Park Kenmere was superb in every way. The hotel amenities were fantastic - including the pool and spa, the cinema, kids toy room, etc. There was always a warm fire in the lobby and attentive service. Food and drink were great, and the location was perfect for exploring Kenmere. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a phenomenal and charming hotel experience in Ireland.

There was a sense of being an honoured guest in someones home rather than simply 'staying' there. I don't think I've been anywhere where the staff were so friendly and prompt in their anticipation/response to your needs right from the moment you arrived. In addition the location is stunning. It is not often you can stay among rolling hills with walks among exotic flora and have the sea gently roll in and out at the same time. While the village of Kenmare just outisde the gates is lovely, with an incredible mix of ancient standing stones, and Michelin guide restaurants all within 10 minutes ramble.

Weekend in Kenmare
We had a surprise birthday family get together over a weekend. Absolutely delighted by the service and attention to detail.. The hotel staff were fantastic and we were pleased to be greeted at the reception desk by the famous Mr Brennan himself. The hotel is very much a unique homely sort of place to stay with loads of antique furniture and pictures such as portraits and vanity fair prints etc. A nice touch was the wood fire in the reception area which burned all of the time we were there. We would definitely come again.

A True Irish Treasure
This was my second visit to the Park. My only regret is not coming back sooner. This isn’t a modern hotel but one that has old world charm and a service staff that is second to none. The other secret to this wonderful establishment is the cuisine. I have traveled the world and have eaten at quite a few Michelin Star restaurants; the Parks dinning experience is far superior to any.

We had a fabulous stay! The hotel is gorgeous, the staff is courteous and attentive, the dining room and food were exceptional. We enjoyed walking and jogging the paths on the property. The landscape and views are beautiful and the spa is too notch. My only criticism, is that the room was dated in that the carpet and upholstery are worn, and the bedding should be updated. Other than that, everything was wonderful!

Okay, it is a Relais et Chateaux property so it is bound to be wonderful. And it was! I felt like I was in my own personal Irish manor home for a couple of days. Beautiful huge room with sitting area, incredible service, and lots of pampering. My only complaint was that the dinner there was only ordinary. But all-in-all, a real treat!

Treat yourself to the Park!
The Park is a very special place, with stunning views over Kenmare Bay. service is friendly and excellent throughout. I would highly recommend the tasting menu in the fine dining restaurant for a treat. Excellent spa treatment rooms. The beautiful village of Kenmare is on your doorstep, with lots of shops, galleries and really good food on offer. it is alos a fabulous base for anyone touring this beautiful part of Ireland.

Old world charm; cosy fires; friendly staff.
We were snowed in, so this was not a typical stay - we did not get to see the local area. The hotel had an old world charm, with cosy fires and friendly staff. Main dining room only had tasting menu available, with a la carte menu in the bistro. Excellent wine menu. Overall, the food was excellent except for one meal in the bistro, where the steak was disappointing. Had to stay an extra night because of the snow and we were given a very generous reduced rate for that night.
