Glencar House Hotel
where little changes but the seasons!

In the heart of the ‘Kingdom of Kerry’, by the Caragh River, and unspoilt by the passage of time, lies Glencar House. Traditions and love of nature are strong in Glencar, as they are in most rural communities and so, time moves slowly, marking each season as it passes.

Glencar House Hotel offers the lover of the outdoors easy access to the finest facilities from world-class fishing and walking or climbing, to golf and trekking. The hotel boasts panoramic views of the valley, woods and MacGillicuddy's Reeks, home to Carrauntuohill Ireland's highest mountain.

A place of perfect peace, our House has 20 en-suite bedrooms, a glazed veranda - with the most spectacular landscape as its canvass, the Cedar Restaurant - overlooking forest, mountains, and the relaxing Caragh bar with turf burning open fireplaces. A victorian snooker room and library, with open fireplace, completes the hotel’s comfortable facilities.

However, it’s what is outside that really sparks the magic!

Nestled in an ancient valley and on the footsteps of Ireland's tallest mountain, Carrauntuohill, Glencar nestles in 13 acres of unspoilt oak woodlands, with a sylvan views extending over yet more hectares of unpolluted, wild natural woodlands, open bog and mountains. Also abundant are its famous fresh loughs, rivers and streams bursting with salmon and trout. While the "Kerry Way", Ireland's premiere long distance walking route, winds it way past the House.
