Park Hotel Kenmare

We stayed in The Park Kenmare for 1 night to kick off our summer holidays in Kerry. From the moment we pulled up we were warmly greeted, helped with luggage and invited inside. Mark at reception gave us refreshments and a little tour of the facilities in the main house. He made us feel welcome with 2 kids and was so knowledgeable about the art and area. Our room was beautiful and the turndown service was a lovely touch. The food was the best we have tasted anywhere, both dinner and breakfast! The pool facilities are so tastefully done and have everything you could need. We can't wait to return from Offaly and see the new renovations. 5* experience. Thank you.

This is a hotel in transition from proud Victorian mainstay to eclectic reinvention. The staff at all levels chat with you about the vision of the new owner who is bringing in his exceptional modern art collection, shutting and renovating some areas and reinventing others. You can’t tell right away who is the owner or brother of the owner or waitress or upstairs neighbor with a chef — these folks seem to know abd care about each other and treat guests like old friends. Though the vibe is dynamic it doesn’t feel like a construction zone but more so an energetic presence that is part of its community, not isolated behind a gate. Art includes themes about human rights and women (we were told by a former porter-turned-art-collection-docent that the owner’s female relatives helped inspire this). As an example of a cute detail, turn-down service left a vintage radio bedside playing a Wagner opera, which actually felt about right at the end of the day. Loved the food, the risotto was a top 5 vegetarian meal of my life. Old gardens with a magical view of the water. I would travel back just to visit this hotel again and see what creative changes are underway. Such a kind staff team. Thank you for an amazing stay.

I last visited this hotel in 1996 (30 years ago!) and finally returned. The hotel has since been purchased and is in the process of being renovated. Our room was beautiful and the view out to the back of the property was gorgeous. Service was perfect and we enjoyed conversation with other guests at the small, cozy bar in the evenings. They are in the process of adding a few new rooms which would be nice to check out. Some rooms have yet to be renovated so ask before you book. Love this hotel. It was the highlight of our trip to Ireland! And the town of Kenmare was also our favorite town.

Mo Farm recently managed to steal a rare evening away from the farm to attend the Music at the Park event featuring Martin Hayes and Peadar Ó Riada, and what an exceptional experience it was. The journey began before we even arrived. A special mention to Allie on reception, who went above and beyond to help secure tickets and ensure everything was arranged seamlessly. Her warmth, professionalism and willingness to help set the tone for what proved to be a wonderful evening. Dinner beforehand was equally impressive. Zoe, our waitress, delivered service that perfectly balanced professionalism with genuine warmth and a great sense of humour. Every detail was looked after with care and attention. The hospitality was outstanding, and the food was simply superb. The concert itself was magical, but what really stood out was the complete experience created by the Park Hotel team. From the first phone call to the final farewell, every interaction reflected the highest standards of hospitality. For anyone considering a visit to Kenmare, the Park Hotel offers something increasingly rare: genuine service, exceptional food, and unforgettable experiences delivered by people who clearly care about what they do. A sincere thank you to Allie, Zoe, and the entire team for a wonderful evening. We will certainly be back. 🍀🎻✨

Excellent stay at the Park hotel for the weekend. We genuinely couldn't compliment the staff, food or location enough. The hotel was spotless, regularly cleaned, rooms were very comfortable with stunning views. We had breakfast 2 mornings and Dinner in the Landline both evenings also, everything we had to eat was fresh and superbly cooked. Every member of staff was friendly, chatty and helpful, we couldn't have had a better stay. We would highly recommend.
