Ard na Sidhe Country House
Ard na Sidhe the Hill of the Fairies As magical as its name suggests uilt at the behest of Lady Gordon in 1913, Ard na Sidhe Country House is an enchanting house in a magical setting. As a private home, this Victorian style manor house was grand in scale. As a hotel it is intimate and personal, with just eighteen bedrooms, set on the shores of majestic Caragh lake, one of Killarney s famous lakes. People are drawn back to Ard na Sidhe. Its ambience combines graceful elegance and old world enchantment, with the luxury of modern comforts and conveniences. Ard na Sidhe, or Hill of the Fairies is named for the mystical fairy fort which you ll find as you stroll to the west of the house, through the award winning gardens amid Rhododendron, Azeleas and the peaceful stillness of Caragh Lake.
Even those who don t believe in magic fall under its spell
For some, it s the perfect place to settle back with a book... for others it s the inspiration to write one
