Group Accommodation in Ireland with Your Own Private Pub
Yes, really. When you book The Lake House Kerry, your group gets the entire house — including its original traditional Irish pub — exclusively to yourselves.
Sleeping up to 26 guests across 11 bedrooms near Kenmare, The Lake House combines large group accommodation with something you won't find in a typical holiday home: your own private Irish pub for the weekend.
Your Pub. Your Group. Your Weekend.
The pub was part of The Lake House long before it became the group accommodation it is today, and we've kept its character intact.
Pull up a stool, play pool, gather around the bar, put on the music or settle in for a proper night with your group — without worrying about taxis home or splitting everyone between different venues.
The pub is exclusively for guests staying at The Lake House. It is not open to the public, and we do not sell alcohol. You bring or arrange your own drinks and enjoy the space as part of your stay.
What's in Your Private Pub?
Traditional Irish Bar
The original Lake House bar exclusively for your group.
Two-Keg System
Arrange compatible draught beer in advance of your stay.
Pool Table
Ideal for inevitably over-competitive group tournaments.
Karaoke
For those brave enough after a few pints.
Piano
For anyone who actually knows how to play it — and those who think they do.
Ladies' Lounge
An additional cosy space adjoining the pub.
Stocking the Bar Before You Arrive
Our private guest bar is one of the most loved parts of The Lake House Kerry experience. Guests can arrange drinks directly with trusted suppliers before arrival, whether that means pre-ordering kegs through Carry Out Killarney or ordering Kerry-made gin, whiskey and gifts directly from Skellig Six18 Distillery.
We do not sell alcohol ourselves, but we are happy to point guests towards brilliant local suppliers who can help make the weekend feel special.

If you would like to add a proper Kerry touch to your stay, we highly recommend ordering directly from Skellig Six18 Distillery in Cahersiveen.
Skellig Six18 create Kerry-made gin, whiskey, tasting packs, gift boxes and hampers inspired by the Skellig Coast. Their online shop is a lovely option if you are planning welcome drinks, a celebration in the bar, a gift for your group, or something special to bring home from Kerry.
Guests can order directly from the Skellig Six18 online shop before their stay and arrange delivery themselves.

Made for Big Weekends
Having your own private pub changes the dynamic of a group stay. Everyone can stay together rather than deciding who is driving, arranging taxis or splitting the group between different venues.
It's one of the reasons The Lake House works particularly well for family reunions, milestone birthdays, groups of friends, hen and stag weekends, wedding groups and corporate retreats.
26 Guests. 11 Bedrooms. One Private Irish Pub.
