This past weekend I was fortunate enough to spend a couple of nights in Kerry staying at the fabulous Cahernane House Hotel in Killarney. If you are looking for old world elegance this is definitely the place for you. We were fortunate enough to get a room in the old part of the house which added to the charm and feel of the place. This said I am sure that all rooms are of a high standard. Killarney is a busy and vibrant town and it was really nice to be able to retreat to the tranquility of our hotel. It is a little out of town but still within walking distance or a short taxi ride if it is raining, which is highly likely.

I recently travelled from Rosscarbery on a cold wet evening to Killarney in County Kerry. We (my hubby Jimmy and I) left Rosscarbery around 7pm. We took a few wrong turns but eventually got back on the main road, all part of the adventure! Once we got to Ballyvourney we decided to stop for some dinner seeing that we were half way to Killarney. So we went into ‘The Mills’ bar and restaurant. It was so warm and welcoming when we stepped inside as they had the fire lighting and there was a great crowd there watching a rugby game. We ate in the bar and the food was great, very quick service too.
