The Kerryman (South Kerry Edition)
Kerry stars in new Campbell guide
KERRY hotels and restaurants play a starring role in the latest food guide released by Georgina Campbell.
Designed as a handy reference, to accompany the more extensive recommendations on the website Ireland-guide. com the guide features a wide range of categories including hotels, restaurants, cafés, pubs, country houses, guesthouses and farmhouses.
Kerry features extensively and as the following extract shows is referred to in glowing terms.
“Kerry has been Ireland’s premier tourism county since Victorian times and blessed with this country’s most dramatically beautiful coastline, its most varied mountains.”
“Top hotels abound, especially in lively lakeside Killarney and lovely, understated Kenmare - which between them boast such luxurious destinations as the magnificent Europe and its sister hotels, the old Great Southern Killarney (its original name recently restored), the Park Hotel Kenmare and Sheen Falls Lodge - balanced by charming smaller places like the wonderful Shelburne Lodge, Kenmare, and Carrig Country House and Restaurant on the Ring of Kerry.”
“All these - and their counterparts in north Kerry, including Dingle’s wonderful guesthouses (Castlewood House, Greenmount, Pax House and more) and terrific restaurants with great charm including Dingle’s Lord Bakers, The Chart House, Global Village, and Out of the Blue - all these, and many others sprinkled throughout the county, illustrate the energetic hospitality and sheer quality that is to be found here”.
