Nothing beats spending time by the water while you're on vacation. Enjoy an afternoon picnic at Muckross Lake and then hang around for an impressive sunset.

When you've finished at this body of water in Killarney, why not check out Gap of Dunloe, INEC Killarney, and Killarney National Park? They're near Muckross Lake and also popular with many tourists.

Had an incredible stay at The Dean! The entire place has such a beautiful ambiance and vibe, and the rooms are absolutely stunning. The on-site gym is next level - honestly the best hotel gym we’ve ever experienced. Staff were fantastic throughout our stay. We’ll definitely be back!

Beautiful room in a beautiful property perfectly located within Galway - right next to the train and bus stations, but quiet enough that you never hear a thing! Also, the best vegan breakfast we had on the trip, and it's not advertised nearly enough. Highly recommended!
