Wonderful trip to Ireland! The local team was great with checking in once in country. The itinerary provided offered wonderful selections of things to do and places to visit to fill our time. All restaurants and stops suggested were wonderful. The hotels lacked in some areas, but overall nice stays. We loved driving through the south end of the island and visiting the beautiful naturescapes of Ireland. Would definitely use again for future trips!

Great service, wonderful rooms, excellent food and drink! Staff could not be more accommodating or friendly!

The Montenotte Hotel
Cork

Gorgeous location and design; however, completely dysfunctional hotel with poor service, poor layout, and poor bathroom facilities. Great to stop at for panoramic view of city, but not worth checking in!

The Brehon Hotel
Killarney

Grand hotel, though dated, with charm offering numerous amenities. Rooms were spacious and practical despite showing age. The restaurant facilities were nice; however, staff was not friendly at dinner and service was poor. Better to eat in town or elsewhere as dinner was like pulling teeth. Location wonderful as it provided easy access to so many wonderful spots in the area.

Dingle Skellig Hotel
Farran, Dingle

Beautiful area - hospitality lacking. Hotel was clean, room was spacious and practical; however, staff would not even make eye contact or answer questions upon check-in. Similar experience at check-out. Opted to spend time in town rather than use facilities of hotel.

Beautiful views from hotel room, but a walk to town.

Hi Alexis Thank you for your kind words. We are glad you enjoyed the your trip with us around Ireland. Also we really appreciate the feedback about the hotels, I am very surprised about your experience regarding the The Montenotte Hotel, I stayed there myself over the summer for a long weekend and it sounds like totally different hotel you are describing. I will certainly pass this information on to the General Manager of the Hotel and I am sure he will message you personally to apologise... Read more
