A graceful stately home, the Cahernane is brimming with
historic character, tucked away in secluded grounds bordering the Killarney
National Park, close to the town of Killarney.
The approach to the Cahernane along the long private avenue
is lined with tall trees, giving an impression of the tranquil country
elegance of the hotel itself. Cahernane House was built around 1877 and
was home for five generations of the Herbert Family who were related to
the Earls of Pembroke, owners of the Muckross Estate. Cahernane House
is an elegant Jacobean styled manor house of the Victorian era, similar
in architectural style to Muckross House, with a modern but sympathetically
styled extension.
Inside the Cahernane’s grand and comfortable public areas
are filled fine antique furnishings and original features. The reception
area is filled with warmth and character from its intricately carved oak
fireplace, while nooks and crannies are highlighted with charming little
antiquities.
Each of the guest rooms have been tastefully furnished
and are beautifully appointed. Those in the modern section have a slightly
more modern appearance and benefit from extra space and more up to date
facilities including some with Jacuzzis and private balconies. While those
within the original house are full of character and old world charm, fitted
with elegant antique furnishings and luxurious bathrooms.
The Cahernane’s restaurant, the Herbert Room offers award-winning
cuisine from a daily-prepared menu using the very finest of fresh local
produce, blending Irish tradition with continental imagination. This is
complemented by a wide selection from the impressive wine cellar, which
forms an attractive backdrop to the atmospheric cellar bar.
As well as awards for its food, the Cahernane has also
rightly won awards for its Hospitality and Comfort, and staff are very
courteous, professional and friendly.
Cahernane House is located just a short walk
from the centre of Killarney, but far enough away to escape to the tranquillity
of the national park. While for golfers, the Cahernane is well placed
for golfing at Killarney and Ballybunion.
