Your 2026 Kerry Escape Starts Here: The Essential Guide to Planning a Group Getaway at The Lake House
If you like the idea of gathering your closest friends or rallying the family for a proper 2026 getaway, The Lake House Kerry is made for it. Tucked away on the Beara Peninsula with uninterrupted views of the Cloonee Lakes and Caha Mountains, it’s the kind of place where time slows down — and the craic picks up.
Here’s how to make your 2026 escape one to remember.
1. Choose the Right Base (Here’s a Hint: You’ve Found It)
The Lake House Kerry sleeps up to 26 people, complete with a private pub, keg system, games, and big cosy spaces for long chats and late nights. Whether it’s a family reunion, a big birthday, or a long-overdue catch-up, the house is purpose-built for laughter and togetherness.
Plus — unlike many places along the Wild Atlantic Way — you’re not squeezed into a tiny space or trying to share bathrooms with half your group. You’ve room to breathe here.
2. Plan Your 2026 Adventures on the Beara Peninsula
The Beara Peninsula is one of the most underrated parts of Ireland, especially for groups. Think quiet roads, unbelievable scenery, and activities for every age.
A few favourites to build into your 2026 itinerary:
Gap of Dunloe Traditional Boat Tours — an unforgettable way to travel through lakes and valleys the old Irish way. (And we now promote them directly on the site.)
Gleninchaquin Park — waterfalls, woodlands, and a looped walk your whole crew will enjoy.
Kilmakillogue Harbour — one of the most peaceful sunset spots in Kerry.
Helen’s Bar — a proper coastal pub, perfect for a pint after a spin.
Healy Pass — a scenic drive that’ll have everyone glued to the windows.
3. Make the Most of the House (It’s Built for Craic)
2026 is the year to lean into the social side of group travel. The Lake House has:
A fully stocked self-service bar with beer taps
A Ladies Lounge and themed bedrooms like the Healy Rae Suite
Outdoor seating overlooking the lake
Space for catered dinners, cocktail nights, and music sessions
We can even arrange keg transport and pre-chill your drinks so everything’s ready for your arrival.
4. Book Early — And Stress Less
Large accommodation for 20+ people in Kerry is rare. That’s why 2026 bookings are already picking up. If your group is considering a trip next year, getting dates locked in early means lower stress and better prices.
