Parknasilla Resort – Kerry & West Cork – September 2020

Our favourite hotel on our tour programme! And when the sun shines, it’s hard to find anywhere more beautiful in Ireland.

The coach will stop with time for lunch and comfort stops enroute arriving into the stunning Parknasilla Resort just outside Sneem on the Ring of Kerry in the late afternoon. Our coach takes us right to the front door of the hotel, where we are welcomed by the hotel manager. The porters will take your luggage directly to your bedroom while you enjoy a complimentary tea or coffee.

A 4-course dinner is served in the hotel’s dining room this evening. We dine as a group creating a perfect opportunity to meet and get to know your fellow travellers.

Enjoy breakfast why not join us for a full day excursion on The Ring of Kerry. Drive through Molls Gap and Ladies View to see stunning vistas of The Three Lakes of Killarney before descending into Killarney , where we will stop for a short visit before continuing our excursion around the Iveagh Peninsula.

Our afternoon continues with numerous photo stops along The Ring of Kerry, ending in Sneem, where we will drop you off to spend a little bit of time pottering around this delightful, pretty village, before returning to our hotel for dinner.

Enjoy a relaxing morning at our hotel. This hotel is one of our favourites on our tour programme. The grounds are extensive and have numerous trails for strolling through at your own pace. The hotel has a world-class spa, where you might like to indulge yourself in one of their spa treatments (additional costs apply). The hotel also has 3 external hot tubs, available to hotel residents, where you can sit and relax overlooking Kenmare Bay, or you may wish to relax in their thermal suite. The choice is endless, but the experience is fantastic!

In the early afternoon, the coach departs on a scenic drive to Glengariff, Co. Cork. We’ll stop, allowing you time to explore this pretty West Cork village. On the way back to our hotel, we’ll stop for a short for a visit to Kenmare, one of the prettiest towns in Ireland and the perfect place to take a gentle stroll through.

We will then travel back to our hotel for our final dinner together this evening.

 

Following a leisurely breakfast, we check-out and depart homeward bound stopping at Blarney Woollen Mills in Blarney, Co Cork with time for a little shopping and lunch. We continue to our original pick-up points saying farewells to new found friends.

*** PLEASE NOTE ***

Parknasilla Resort & Spa is a beautiful old hotel, steeped in history, but has not lift access in the main accommodation wing. This can prove to be a problem for guests travelling with mobility issues and needs to be well considered before making a reservation. There is a limited number of accessible rooms in this hotel, which tend to book out early.

We can also offer upgrades to the main house for €70 per room, per night and are subject to availability at the time of booking.
