We arrived home last night and are already making plans to return. Our stay at Cahernane was beyond anything we expected. The house itself was just stunning, the carriage house (where we stayed) was enchanting, breathtaking, and so comfortable and clean. The dining (both in The Cellar and main house) was top notch. And the service on all levels was just lovely. The staff were all accommodating, warm, and kind. We walked the grounds, which are pristine and also explored the area. We did have a car, however will definitely take the bikes next time. Muckross Abbey and House and the Torc Waterfall are within 10 minutes (if that) of the house - all of which were stunning. And the National Park is the other major reason we'd stay here again. There is so much more we want to explore in the park. Don't miss the Gap of Dunloe and Ladies View, and if you do have a car, please go exploring the park roads. Just incredible. On a side note, anyone who is gluten and dairy free will have an easy time here. My husband had no issues dining at either restaurant on grounds and everyone was extremely accommodating. Overall, it was truly a magical experience to be repeated!
