McSweeney Arms Hotel in Killarney

Great location, even better people!

Tony and his daughter Kelly Ann have been hosting my groups and now my family since 2012. They are the most amazing hosts you could ever ask for! They’ll provide outstanding service and wonderful rooms. The location is top notch as you can walk to more resturaunts, shops and pubs than you would ever have time to go to.

If you’re looking to see the woderful sights of Southwest Ireland and the Ring of Kerry, choose McSweeny Arms as your hub.

Kerry Coaches Luxury Transporation

Tailored excellence to every group!

On our past trip we used Kerry Coaches, yes again! The difference was that this trip we had 2 different sections, the typical Guys Trip followed up by a Couples Trip.

Now Kerry Coaches have always provided great service but this time we got to see the cream of the crop and how they were able to tailor our drivers to the needs of each trip!
Our driver for the Guys Trip was Hugh Dorrain, who really did go above and beyond in every way! Service was impeccable, his stories about the country were entertaining and he was an absolute please to hang out with! Yes, he even tagged along to watch a few of our rounds and we had a great time! His skills through the tiny rock lined roads of Connemara left us amazed!
As we finished off the Guys Trip, I really thought that we could never have a better driver…. Then along came Ian Moriarty with our wives! Ian was full of jokes, stories and knowledge of his loved country. Ian was the perfect driver… for our Couples trip!

Amazing that these two drivers couldn’t be more different… just like the energy of a Guy’s Trip and a Couples Trip! Kerry Coaches knocked it out of the park and gave us more than even we knew we wanted!

Summer Evenings in Enniscrone

You don’t always need to go to a fancy resturant…

On this beautiful August evening, we choose not to go to a restraunt but to head over to the park benches in front of Hopkins Pub. The locals were gathering and were as welcoming as you could ever ask for. The pints were amazing and paired wonderfully with the pizzas we grebbed from a couple takeout spots. This may have been our best night of the whole trip!
