The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens

The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens is a newly renovated five-star property in Beaufort, overlooking the Gap of Dunloe. Set on a 64-acre estate, it offers a calm retreat for families looking for a good choice for exploring County Kerry. With 102 guest bedrooms, many featuring spacious balconies, the hotel provides a peaceful base near Killarney National Park.

Families with children will find a range of facilities designed for young guests, including an outdoor playground, a supervised kids club, and an arcade. The hotel offers in-room babysitting services and provides free cots upon request, while highchairs are available for dining. Children can enjoy a scheduled entertainment programme and access to games, making it a practical option for parents seeking supervised activities.

Parents can relax with complimentary buffet breakfasts, spa treatments, and massages, though reservations are required for these services. The on-site Grill Restaurant serves local cuisine, and guests can enjoy free WiFi and self-parking. Please note that rollaway beds incur an extra charge, and outdoor terraces may not be suitable for all children, so it is worth checking with the hotel before booking to confirm room suitability.
