I probably will get blasted for posting this, but I honestly tried searching and had a hard time coming up with anything!

Because of cirumstances I will not get into, we need to find and pay for our own accomodations in Killarney where the wedding we are attending is taking place. I am not sure where to start . . . there seem to be so many b&b's. I have an Ireland B&B book from Town & Country, but there are SO MANY!

Could anyone give me a list of suggestions? Just when I thought we would not have to worry about Killarney, we do. We will be there for three nights (Wed-Fri).

The wedding is at the Hotel Dunloe Castle, BTW.

TIA!

When are you going? Try Applecroft for a B&B or Killarney Lodge or Earl's Court for close-in guesthouses. Since you are staying for three days you might qualify for a discount.

We will be there July 6-8.

We liked Carriglea Farmhouse. It is a very old but modernized home across the street from an entrance to Killarney Natl Park with a view of the lakes. Had lots of charm, lovely grounds.

We stayed at Redwoods, on the outskirts of town. New, very nice, reasonable. It is (or at least was in 2000) a town & country B&B

Book something walking distance from the wedding venue.

Dunloe Castle Hotel is not near Killarney town and is set in its own rather secluded estate. I doubt if there is a B&B in walking distance. You could e-mail them to see what they would recommend in the area. If you cannot get a close by B&B take a taxi to and from the wedding (strict drink driving laws). You have to decide if you want to be near the hotel, town or do not mind a few miles drive to Killarney. Once you decide on a place to stay make your reservations right away. Killarney in July will be chock-a-block and a wedding will only add to the no vacancies.

I like the looks of Carriglea . . . emailed them about availability today. I was considering the Applecroft as well.

sss,
Is the Carriglea a good choice in terms of area? The website says it is right across from the entrance to the national park. The idea of a taxi makes sense . . . I am sure it will be a night complete with a pint or two!

I don't mind staying a little bit away from the wedding venue or town. I think that everyone is looking for their own accomodations at present. It is too complicated to coordinate with my friends.

Thanks for all the reponses!

Carriglea is a couple of miles from Killarney on the main road to Kenmare. In July it is a busy road but the B&B is set back from the road and not right on it. Maybe a room in the back?

Applecroft is tucked away in a quiet residential area within walking distance of town.

If you want to be in the center of things I can recommend Fairview Guesthouse. It is very nice and right in town. They run specials if you book on the Internet or for multiple night stays.

These sites might help with the decision:
