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
Escape does not come
in half measures
At Ard na Sidhe, your escape is complete. You won’t find televisions, radios or high speed internet in our gracious bedrooms, but you will find the crispest Irish linens, full feather pillows,
deep mattresses and antique furniture − in all of the 10 rooms in the Main House and the 8 in
the Garden House. The Ard na Sidhe philosophy is one of true relaxation, to sleep in the most
comfortable of beds, lulled by the sounds of the peaceful lakeshore.
Only after proper rest are we fully conscious
of the beauty that surrounds us
The invigoration of waking up to the glorious Kerry countryside is a sensation that never
wanes. As you enjoy breakfast in your room, you can contemplate the best way of enjoying
the feeling − a stroll through the gardens perhaps, or maybe a game of croquet on the lawn?
