NEARBY ATTRACTIONS: The famous Ring of Kerry is one of the most picturesque areas in Ireland.

The Lakes of Killarney, Gap of Dunloe, Dingle Peninsula, Muckross House and Torc Waterfall all combine to make the area one of the most scenic in Ireland. Shopping wise, Killarney Town is ideal, where you can combine great shopping with the finest of Guinness in one of the local pubs.
