2023 Travellers' Choice Best of the Best
The K Club is a stylish country resort, tucked away in the Kildare countryside but just on Dublin’s doorstep, firmly anchored in old-school Irish hospitality in a delightfully relaxed and unfussy way. The K Club is an exceptional backdrop to laidback country stays. With an authentic country mansion at its heart and comfortable contemporary wings, the fabulous décor, attentive staff and an impressive range of things to do both indoors and outdoors set the tone for days that can be as chilled or as full as you like, as there are scheduled and bespoke activities for you to dip in and out of, just as suits you. Set in lush countryside, overlooking formal gardens and its own pair of championship golf courses, The K Club has a wide choice of bars and restaurants, handsome drawing rooms and magnificent interiors with elegantly classic furnishings. The 128 spacious bedrooms are each individually designed with great attention to detail, with bathrooms that feature hand-painted murals. To ensure you get maximum pleasure from your dining experiences at The K Club, work up an appetite by playing one of the two Arnold Palmer-designed championship golf courses, host to the Ryder Cup in 2006, try kayaking on the estate’s private mile-long stretch of the River Liffey or experience the noble and ancient art of falconry, getting up close and personal with a stunning selection of birds of prey. Enjoy horse riding, playing a few games of tennis or fishing on the Liffey or the well-stocked lakes for pike, perch and brown trout, carp and tench, with the expert tuition of one of The K Club’s ghillies. With all equipment provided, this is an exhilarating way to spend a few hours, and even complete beginners catch fish in these well-stocked waters. Get out in the fresh country air on horseback where, from quiet lanes for beginners to full cross-country courses for the adventurous, you’ll be well minded by experienced K Club instructors on this classic country day out. Simply follow one of the gentle mapped garden walks, exploring the grounds at your own leisurely pace, or take the resort bicycles for a short spin to the cosy Straffan Inn, the pub in the nearby village which has been serving locals for over 100 years, opening its doors originally in 1920. Enjoy your drinks, with the concierge team collecting you when you are ready to return home to The K Club. If the weather isn’t cooperating, you could take a wine cellar or guided history tour, enjoy the beloved ritual of afternoon tea in one of the drawing rooms, or work your way through the menu of indulgent spa treatments in the award-winning K Spa, delivered by exceptional therapists. From deep tissue massages to cutting-edge skin treatments, there are relaxing and rejuvenating options to suit everyone at The K Spa. Rainy days are also a good time to experience the high-tech excitement of golf in K Golf World, a sophisticated suite of 8 state-of-the-art golf simulators, with spacious and luxurious bays, designed for up to 4 golfers at a time. In K Golf World at The K Club you can virtually play some of the world’s finest golf courses and improve your game, all while leaving your wet gear at home. For children there are Kids Club activities during school holidays, including movies, kids discos, treasure hunts, face painting, arts and crafts and duck races, as well as outdoor options like tennis and cycling, with families welcome to use the resort bicycles together to go exploring. Fuel your sense of adventure as a family and do some something different together every day with the impressive range of on-site activities at The K Club.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We have just returned from a family stay at the K Club, where we have stayed on a number of prior occasions. From the second we arrived we were greeted with a very warm welcome from Cesar & the team, nothing was too much trouble & we can’t thank Cesar enough for taking care of us during our stay. We fitted a lot in to our stay with my husband & sons playing golf along with some chipping & putting, the pool, the spa & dinner in the Palmer North restaurant. I would highly recommend a visit to the k club & we can not wait to return soon.

I loved this place. About 45 mins outside downtown Dublin. It truly did feel like my home for the four nights I was there. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. It was great to come back from the city to such a cozy warm room (101) and spend a day golfing and another just enjoying the grounds

The most stunning hotel to stay in. The staff were exceptional - we were treated like royalty. Food was amazing and plenty to do. We booked an experience in the hotel spa - everywhere else is going to be the poor cousin now in comparison

I highly recommend putting The K Club on your Bucket list. Welcoming, friendly door staff and staff throughout. Very comfortable, clean Deluxe room with both shower and bath. Nice quiet room, not a sound could be heard from any other room. Lovely music playing throughout the hallway. Great view's out every window of the most beautiful well kept gardens. Really peaceful to walk around these picturesque gardens with 2 walkover Bridges over the River Liffy. Food was plentiful with a great choice on The Menu in all Restaurants on The Hotel grounds. Swimming pool and Spa area absolutely perfect. Great to have the Sauna and Steamroom in with the Showers and Changing Room. Location from the Motorway is ideal. Definitely one of the best, if not the best Hotel that I've stayed in. I definitely hope to spend time there again. Perfect ambience throughout.

The hotel is set in a rural location just outside Dublin with beautiful gardens, a meandering stream, and surrounded by a championship golf course. The pool and spa are spectacular and there is a wide range of activities, from paddle boarding to archery for leisure. Staff was helpful and the ambiance was very relaxing!

We had no expectations about the K Club before visiting and we were so surprised to the beauty of the property and the amazing customer service! From the time we arrived to the time we left, we were treated as if we were their only guest. The staff made us feel special and at home. The property and the grounds are beautiful and immaculately manicured. They are preparing for the Irish Open, but I feel the property always looks "show" ready. I would definitely recommend this property and hoping to return soon!

Absolutely amazing place. It is so beautiful and the employees are friendly. There is a lot to do with kids. Free bicycles of all sizes. (No helmets offered.). Hiking trails. They’re gravel but bring old shoes as it still gets muddy on the trails. There’s a river that runs along the property. So pretty. There’s also a fairy door garden at the end of one hike that is so cute. About a 20-30 minute hike from the hotel. Indoor swimming. (Note kid hours are limited). Full gym with everything you need. Library with a few games. Drawing room for tea. Bar. Nice restaurant. Two golf buildings you can walk to. Breakfast is amazing. Try the Killowen yogurt. Best yogurt I’ve ever had. Hair dryers are in the room but in a dresser drawer not the bathroom.
