Company Description

Dating from 1897 each of the 41 Bedrooms enjoy a spacious sitting area furnished with antiques and objects d’art while most have a full water view or private veranda.

The Landline Restaurant, with its impressive collection of Sean Scully art, acclaimed menu and service is the perfect blend of classic and contemporary.

This Kerry hotel has no meeting or banqueting facilities to distract our professional staff away from caring for residents.

After a heavenly day touring the coastal roads, playing some of the world’s best golf courses or surrendering to the holistic pleasures of SÁMAS, the hotels Deluxe Destination Spa, evenings can be spent watching the legends of the silver screen in The Reel Room, a 12-seat cinema showing some of the great classics nightly.

From its conception SÁMAS was designed to soothe and revive the tension, stress and fatigue that fill our every day.

Even in ancient Ireland they had a Gaelic word for such experiences SÁMAS, indulgence of the senses.
