Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Heritage in Killenard is often praised for its beautiful entrance lobby and tastefully decorated, spacious rooms that include amenities like Nespresso machines. Guests frequently enjoy the delicious food served in both the bar and Blakes restaurant, and many appreciate the extensive facilities, such as the spa and gym, along with the relaxing thermal suite; some guests, however, have noted that the bar service can be slow at times. The 5km walking loop is a highlight for those seeking outdoor activity.
