�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 magicfall under its spell

For some, it’s the perfect place tosettle back with a book... for others it’s the inspiration to write one

At Ard na Sidhe, your escape is complete. You won’t fi nd televisions, radios or high speed in-ternet in our gracious bedrooms, but you will fi nd 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.
