Cosy Winter Getaways in Kerry: Gather, Relax and Reconnect at The Lake House
A Warm Welcome Awaits in Kerry
Winter is the season when Kerry slows down and shows its softer side. The tourists thin out, the roads quieten, and what’s left is pure peace — the kind that lets you breathe deeply and truly unwind.
Tucked away beside Cloonee Lakes near Kenmare, The Lake House Kerry is made for moments like these. Whether it’s a weekend with friends, a family gathering, or an early-season retreat, this is a place where you can press pause, pour a pint, and simply enjoy being together.
Why Winter Suits The Lake House Kerry
1. Your Own Private Bar
When the nights draw in, the Lake House bar becomes the heart of every stay. With stout/beer on tap, you can enjoy a proper pint by the fire without leaving the house.
2. Fire, Food and Great Company
Gather around the open fire after a day exploring the Kerry hills. Cook together in the fully equipped kitchen, or book a local caterer to prepare something special while you sit back and relax.
3. Scenic Walks & Winter Views
From Gleninchaquin Park to the Beara Way, winter walks here are nothing short of magical. The mist on the lakes, the golden light on the mountains, the sound of boots crunching through frosty ground — it’s Ireland at its most peaceful.
4. Cosy Comfort for Everyone
With 11 bedrooms and space for up to 26 guests, there’s plenty of room for everyone to unwind in comfort. Large sofas, thick duvets, and warm interiors make it the perfect winter home-from-home.
Ideas for Your Winter Escape
For Families:
Board games by the fire, movie nights, morning walks by the sea, and the joy of watching kids explore the outdoors.

A weekend of music, laughter, and late-night storytelling at the bar. Pair it with a trip into Kenmare for dinner, followed by a pint at one of its lively pubs.

Plan a relaxed winter offsite — time to reflect, bond, and refresh before the year ahead.
