Carrig Country House & Restaurant

I loved every minute of this stay. The hotel has quite the history and it was wonderful to be there. The grounds are beautiful and the rooms are over the top comfortable. I really enjoyed the breakfast. The staff are more than accommodating and are very service oriented. Excellent communication. A+++++.

A fabulous country home with great service. Wonderful views across the lake ( but without access to trails around it). Ideally located to explore the Dingle peninsula and Ring of Kerry. While we loved our accommodation and enjoyed the meals, we thought it was very expensive compared to other country houses we have stayed in.

This was my second time staying at the Carrig, both times with Backroads Travel. The peace and calm of this lovely waterfront lodging was perfect after a day of hiking. Mary and Frank are so welcoming and the staff is great too. The room are cozy and each one is different. The grounds are beautiful.

My husband and I recently returned to Carrig House and it is such a wonderful treat. It is no wonder that we return again and again. Once you step inside the beautiful property, the warmth and hospitality you experience is exceptional. The focus on customer service is across all areas of the business. We always feel so welcome and this time was no exception as we were greeted warmly by Claire and Kevin. The rooms are beautifully appointed and a place of retreat. The food at Carrig House is outstanding and consistently exceeds expectation. The chef Patricia Teahan is incredibly talented and uses the finest local ingredients to produce dishes with the most amazing flavours and beautifully presented. Teresa and Tracey look after everyone very well in the dining room and they are always friendly and professional. The team at Carrig is amazing and all those behind the scenes are also making a big impact. Frank and Mary always make time to chat and give advice on the wonderful menu, while Peter also ensured we were being taken care of. Siobhan looked after us on check out and always friendly and professional. We highly recommend visiting this oasis and ensure to also include dinner as it is a real treat.

Having much admired the dining experience at Carrig House for a very long time, we took the plunge and availed of two night break/ dining in a lake view room. We were thrilled with our experience. The hosts and team are really friendly & professional. We had the most wonderful deep sleeps, excellent mattresses and high cotton count sheets. The decor was lovely, antique furniture blending seamlessly to the feel of a boutique country house hotel. The spectacular lake view was so peaceful and ever changing, you couldn't possibly not rest and unwind. There are many small reception rooms in the hotel to relax, have a drink or read, We particularly loved the gardens and lake access from them. Only disappointed that I didn't take a swim before breakfast. The food is really exceptional, we tried everything we could over the two nights, and we were delighted by the fresh, inventive & delicious courses. If your holiday requires high speed broad band ,flat screen TV's ,lively bar etc, this isn't the place for you. However, if comfort, relaxation and fine dining are important to you, this is the prefect place to unwind and explore the Kingdom of Kerry.

The Slattery family makes you feel immediately at home. The beauty of the setting is second to none. The food is excellent. A wonderful place just to get away, and the Slatterys' personal touch means we will visit again and again. Exceptional.

Very nice property beautifully sited on lake edge. Staff were wonderful. Harks back to ‘old world’ living as if you were living in the late 19th century.

Absolutely beautiful property, really idyllic setting. The staff were amazing, especially Claire who helped us plan our trip around the Ring of Kerry drive and was happy to give lots of travel advice.

My husband and I recently returned to Carrig house as it is one of our favourite places. We cannot speak highly enough of Carrig, the amazing team and outstanding food and service. A warm welcome always greets you on arrival and we were immediately feeling at home as Siobhán looked after us as always. This property has a relaxing feel with beautifully appointed rooms, we like the lake view too. The service is outstanding and Claire & Kevin make all guests feel welcome. The food at Carrig is consistently excellent and chef Patricia Teahan has amazing talent. We were delighted to meet her and give her our positive feedback. The combination of flavours, fresh local produce and menu choice is a delight. We are always well looked after by Teresa and Tracey and they look after everyone so well. We met Emma at breakfast being trained in by Teresa and doing a great job too. There is such a great vibe in this property and the team is simply fabulous. We are also looking forward to catching up with Frank & Mary on our next visit. They have laid the foundation for this wonderful business.
