For almost 1,500 years this extraordinary place has been coveted and fought over and although the K Club itself is a recent addition to the landscape, there have been magnificent residences here for hundreds of years and much of the hotel that now stands here dates back to the early 19th century.

Fast-flowing streams descend into the deep lakes of the wooded valleys and continue their course into the surrounding countryside, carving out a landscape that has inspired poets and left a legacy of a picture perfect Ireland. In addition the close proximity of Dublin ensures the vibrancy of one of Europe's most intriguing cities is never far away and for the horse racing lover, the National Stud and the home of Irish horse racing, the Curragh are within easy reach. Few locations in Ireland occupy a better place in terms of location, history and prestige than that of the legendary K Club.
