Does anyone know anything about the Old Killarney Village self catering homes? They look great in pictures - but you never know.
Thanks!
Hello,
Yep, just stayed there last week.. very good.. washer/dryer (its small but OK) TV, Fireplace, full kitchen.. etc.. I stayed in one of the ones with 3 bedrooms and we had 8 people and all worked out well.. There is even a Pub right in the little community.. I thought it was a good deal for the money.. The only down side for me, was the last time i stayed in Bed and Breakfast.. and really loved the interaction with the people from Ireland.. But overall i would not hesitate to stay there again..

We also stayed there last year and just got finished trying to book another week. We are timeshare owners, though (at least some of the cottages are timeshares, but they also book rentals). We had three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Everything was very clean, and it's easy to get to Killarnery center. Right down the road is a fantastic view of the lakes of Killarney and a wonderful spa.

Enjoy your trip!
My family is going to Killarney for 4 nights the end of February. We're looking at either the Fairview Guesthouse or the Old Killarney Village--the Guesthouse seems to be within walking distance of "downtown" Killarney, but does anyone know how far out, or anything about the Old Killarney Village?
According to their website, Old Killarney Village is 2km outside the town centre.

I do not know this place, so I cannot confirm if this claim is totally accurate, give them a call if you want to check.

Going to Killarney -
Would really consider Ross Castle Lodge.
We go to Ireland every year and in all of our travels there, this is the nicest B&B we have found.
It is about a 10 minute walk (leisurely pace) to town and their home is lovely. Rooms are delightful - beds fantastic - bathrooms fully equipped with all those "luxury" things not usually found in B&Bs.

Fairview is in the centre of town which can be busy and it can be difficult to find parking. Accommodation is good. Old Killarney Village is 2 miles from town and a car is essential. V. good accommodationand much more private and tranquil than town centre.
Hello,
We're visiting Killarney again around Chistmas/New year's. We're looking for suggestions for good Pubs and Irish music during this timeframe. Any help is appreciated! Thanks! -glen
Try to find a pub called Buckley's. It's very close to the movie theatre.. sorry I don't know the name of that main road. It goes out toward the Muckross House.
I was there with a well known flute player, and we found a wonderful night of Irish music. There are other pubs, too, I'm sure. This one was really very special so check to see when the music is on.
The local hotels are bound to have some kind of irish-themed night, like The Gleneagles hotel,
I spent one NY eve ('99) in Revels nightclub in Killarney - that was mad :)

thanks a lot for the reply's! Will it be too quiet during the time we're going? I'm a little nervous that places will be closed etc. We're staying at the Old Killarney Village. Any reviews? Thanks!
Sorry I don't know how quiet things get. I was there one May. Good luck!
Killarney is busy all year, and Christmas/New Year are no exception. Many hotels and pubs have special events on New Years Eve. It's a huge social night in Ireland, so expect pubs to be packed. I'll check out some places with a friend of mine who should know and get back.
That would be great, thanks for the help!
If you look across the lake with Ross castle to your back you can seen Inisfalen island. Take a boat trip from the Castle to the Island. There are ruins of a 6th century monastery there. It's usually quiet, at most 50 people on the island at any given time. There are about 5 buildings to be seen there. It's also a really nice place to relax in the sun.
In my opinion the best way to see the most of this beautiful area of Ireland in the shortest amount of time is via a Ring of Kerry tour. The tours cost around 20 euro and last approximately 5 hours. Make sure it includes stops at or affords views of Magillicuddy's Reeks, Killorglin, Sneem, Gap of Dunloe, and Ladie's View. Ladie's View was my favorite part.
If possible, try to meet with the driver before your tour as well. That's the greatest asset you will have on such a tour. A lousy guide will make for a lousy trip.
If I ever did this tour again, I would rent a car and just drive to the places that were more interesting on my own. Some of the roads are pretty narrow and covered with sheep though.
Standing at 1034M (3414 Ft) Carrantouhill is Irelands highest mountain. There is a stunnig view of the surrounding landscape, you can see for miles & miles. It's about a 4 hour hike, be prepared for adverse weather conditions. Unfortunately, when I took the picture below the clouds began to move in. It gets very dangerous if you are not careful!
I've yet to visit Killarney in the summer, but I can imagine how crowded it gets. This is the main starting points for the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Penninsula. And Kinsale, a popular town for eating is just over the mountains to the south. Best time to visit is the winter - all the ammenities and none of the crowds.
Killarney is set in a beautiful valley and is a busy spot, even without the tourists. The lake district draws a lot of campers and hikers. The National Park has the Muckross House, Mucross Abbey, and the Torc waterfalls. Spectacular scenery and history all about.
