Sarah and Paul’s Irish Jaunt

Sarah from UK and Ireland’s Operations Team and Paul, Greatdays Executive Director, enjoyed a super week of Irish hospitality in Killarney and the surrounding area. Visiting many hotels creating new relationships and building on established ones was enjoyable.

Flying into Cork airport was extremely easy, this small airport was stress free and we were very soon on our way discovering some hotels on the outskirts of the city of Cork. All hotels offered superior accommodation with exceptional hospitality which the Irish are renowned for.

A fantastic overnight stay was at the Blarney Woollen Mill hotel, superb! We had a pleasant early evening walk across the quaint village green to the entrance of Blarney Castle, pleasant local pubs were dotted around the green with local gift shops selling local crafts. We were so impressed with this property and its location we are building a tour to base here. Keep an eye on our website for details.

We then attended the annual ‘Meitheal’ workshop which provides Irish tourism business’s the opportunity to promote themselves. This was so interesting to speak to so many different establishments, offering new destinations and ideas.

The latter part of our trip took us to see all the hotels we use in Killarney, always a fantastic base to tour the stunning scenery of the Ring of Kerry and Dingle Peninsular to name but a few scenic drives. We visited Bantry Bay, Kenmare and Tralee visiting our hotel friends in this Southern part of Ireland. All hotels offered a very high standard of accommodation, most of the Irish hotels heavily invest in their properties on an annual basis, along with great hospitality and cuisine we could not fault our visits. It was great to create new friendships and build on our existing ones in Ireland, everyone is so friendly and we encourage everyone to visit this fantastic country.
