Hayfield Family Collection


The Hayfield Family Collection is a proudly independent collection of unique properties owned and managed by the Scally family. Hoteliers for 3 generations, the Scally family, are the proprietors of Hayfield Manor, Great Southern Killarney and Killarney Royal hotels. Each property in the Hayfield Family Collection is distinctive, classically styled and renowned for the finest service levels, where exceeding the expectations of guests is of the utmost priority. As lifelong hoteliers, Joe & Margaret have had the pleasure of welcoming guests for many years. Killarney Royal, the 4 star boutique hotel, is the original property of the collection, Hayfield Manor, opened its doors in 1996 and in November 2014, a third hotel was added to the collection when the Scally family took ownership of Great Southern Killarney, a beautiful 4 star Victorian hotel also situated in Killarney, dating back to 1854. 

The Hayfield Family Collection welcomes guests from across the globe and the exceptional teams at each property are experts at providing the first class service that our clients expect, coupled with all the charm for which the Irish are renowned. Our aim is to create a host of delightful memories for our valued guests. We are very proud to have three independent family run hotels which have an emphasis on personal service. Hospitality is our family business and for generations it has been our passion, our calling and our guests are our inspiration.
