The voyage starts with Chilean fir trees and leads on to Australian gums, South African lilies, New Zealand cabbage trees, New Zealand cherries, Japanese maples, North American dogwoods, South American fuchsias and back to a Killarney strawberry tree. The gardens surrounding the shell of MacThomas' medieval keep have a dramatic setting looking towards the mountains girdled by the Ring of Kerry. Camellias, magnolias, roses and rhododendrons flourish in the sheltered grounds together with rare specimens like the aromatic-leaved 'Headache' tree and the Chinese swamp cypress. These are catalogued in a booklet by plantsman and broadcaster Roy Lancaster, who supervises new planting. The catalogue is available from the hotel.<br> The hotel retains the tranquility of the gardens where natural materials blend harmoniously with precious and carefully chosen antique paintings and furniture and prides itself on the elegance, style and warmth of service it offers.<br><br> All 102 guestrooms including the Dunloe Suite offer breathtaking views of mountains or gardens and guests can enjoy horse riding and fishing on site.<br><br> Both hotel guests and garden visitors can enjoy dishes which showcase the finest of local produce and herbs from the kitchen garen. The Oak Room restaurant offers fine dining while the garden cafe offers more informal dining throughout the day. </font><br> </p> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8"> <tr valign="top"> <td> <div align="right"><font size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Situated</b></font></div> </td> <td><font size="-1"><img src="images/map/hotel-dunloe.gif" width="37" height="49" align="right"> 10km from Killarney on the road to the Gap of Dunloe</font></td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td> <div align="right"><font size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Open</b></font></div> </td> <td><font size="-1">1 May - 30 September, by appointment.</font></td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td> <div align="right"><font size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Admission</b></font></div> </td> <td><font size="-1">On request</font></td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td> <div align="right"><font size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Facilities</b></font></div> </td> <td><font size="-1">Restrooms, Teas, Restaurant.</font></td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td> <div align="right"><font size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Contact</b></font></div> </td> <td><font size="-1">Hotel Reception<br> Hotel Dunloe Castle Gardens,<br> Beaufort,<br> Killarney,<br> Co.
