This week i found i had a few days to myself and decided that a trip to Killarney with my wife would be a special treat. I made contact with my favourite hotel and they had availability for me so that was that and we are now enjoying a lovely break from it all. Killarney is a place i love to come to whether it be work or to relax. The town itself has much to offer in the line of good shops and restaurants, great pubs with a great variety of entertainment, and a fine variety of accommodation. I am writing from my own personal favourite hotel in Killarney......the Killarney Plaza Hotel. It is most important for me that my clients are happy with the services i supply and quality accommodation is very high on that list. I find for me that the Plaza supplies all that...wonderful location right in the heart of the town, really helpful and considerate staff, great food and comfortable and clean accommodation. It is one of three hotels in Killarney owned by the O'Donoghue Ring Hotels group. They also have the Killarney Towers Hotel and the Avenue Hotel. These are also lovely hotels catering for people on a slightly tighter budget and i can also recommend them highly. Both of these hotels are also located in the heart of the town so you never need a cab at night after you have been out on the town. I love to swim myself after a hard days work and the Plaza and the Towers both have lovely pools and gyms so this is an added benefit. If you choose to stay at the Avenue you can use the pools in the other hotels. Staying in top-class accommodation is vital for me when touring as i feel you need somewhere where you can be sure of a good nights rest after a long day when you are on holiday. Rest is most important and i make sure that my clients have a nice place to bed down. I must say that i really look forward to my evening meal at the Plaza as i make my way around the Ring of Kerry or the Dingle peninsula. You do get a great appetite in the wonderful fresh air of county Kerry and you will need it as an evening meal at the Plaza is all you could ask for. They have the best of good Irish steaks and the Kerry lamb is out of this world. Their fish is always fresh and Irish Salmon is always wonderful and most popular with Americans. If you can still manage it, their Creme Brulee dessert to finish is the best i have ever had. I had better not go on as my salivary glands are begining to act up......just try it for yourself and let me know how you get on. You can contact any of these hotels at

I will be here until Friday morning so i will try to keep you up to date on my break. Are you feeling jealous? Well you can have your own private tour with this private driver...chauffeurdrive/guide.
Comments welcome as always please.
Your description of foods, especially dessert, is making me very hungry, Dave! And also making me long for a trip back to Killarney before too long.
