“Killarney is traditionally extremely busy all summer with visitors who follow well known tourist trails and tend to flock to the same places,” said Cahernane House Hotel General Manager Emer Corridan. “In these strange times we live in now we want to offer our gusts the chance to explore some lesser known, quieter beauty spots. We also hope to show people a different part of Killarney and offer our visitors a chance to rediscover this beautiful part of the world.”
