Hotel
Winner of a prestigious TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence, it’s no wonder the 4* Arbutus Hotel is one of our top picks for a short break away in County Kerry. This fabulous hotel first opened its doors to the public in 1926 and this long history of hospitality has meant that the hotel is packed with character and charm. Upon arrival you will be greeted by a member of the hotel’s friendly staff and this warm welcome will continue with a piping hot cup of tea and delectable cake. During your time in Killarney you will stay in one of the hotel’s standard double or twin rooms - each one is individually decorated to make the most of the shape of space, natural light and original features of the building. The rooms are all equipped with comfortable furnishings, a TV, hospitality tray and decorated using rich, warm colours. Both mornings of your stay you will be indulged with a freshly cooked Irish breakfast - the only way to start a holiday day!
Area
The hotel is situated in the heart of the vivacious Killarney town, so you won’t be but a few metres from the buzz of the excellent eateries and bars that line its streets. If you’re looking for a bite to eat, one of the best places in the town is Cellar One at The Ross, expect contemporary Irish/European dishes with a heavy concentration on fish and seafood thanks to the town’s proximity to the coast. For an after dinner drink, be sure to head to the Celtic Whiskey Bar & Larder, which has a whole host of whiskeys for you to try and is rated 4.5 out of 5 on TripAdvisor! Whilst you could easily spend your Killarney break popping in and out of the cafes, bars and restaurants that have made the town so famous, but there is also a great to see in Killarney away from its urban centre. Killarney National Park encompasses 10000 hectares of lakes, mountains and heathland and is the perfect place for a country walk or cycle ride, if you’re lucky you might even spot some of the park’s Red Deer or White Tailed Sea Eagles. Another great day out is a boat trip to the legendary Skellig Michael, famous for their rich wildlife species, monastery ruins and UNESCO World Heritage Site label - it would be a shame to visit County Kerry without discovering these unusual rock formations!
