But all rooms are by default beautifully appointed, many with antique furniture, jacuzzis and private balconies. Surrounded by its own parklands and sitting on the edge of Killarney National Park, Cahernane House offers guests breathtaking beauty from each of its bedrooms. It is not uncommon for visitors to spot wildlife, including the fabled deer of Killarney National Park.
