Your Hotel

The perfect place to stay

Where you stay is such an important part of your holiday, which is why we personally select quality hotels, providing a great location, value and friendly service.

Holiday Details

Day 1: From home to Cork
Fly direct from your chosen airport to Cork where we’ll collect you from the airport and take you to the beautiful Rochestown Park Hotel, on the outskirts of the city, for five nights. This beautiful hotel has great facilities, including indoor pool, Jacuzzi and state-of-the-art gym.
Day 2: Midleton, Cobh & Titanic Trail
We’ve got a great day ahead, starting with a trip to Midleton to follow the Distillery Trail, where we discover the heritage of Jameson’s Whiskey and naturally get to sample one of Ireland’s top tipples! Next we’re off to the historic harbour town of Cobh to enjoy a fascinating ‘Titanic Trail’ walking tour. 2012 will be the centenary year of the sinking of RMS Titanic, whose last port of call was Cobh, formerly Queenstown. We take a leisurely stroll with our knowledgable guide, enjoying a fascinating historical overview.
Day 3: Kinsale & Cork city – a holiday highlight!
Today we head to colourful Kinsale, one of the most fashionable resorts of the west coast of Ireland, known as Ireland’s ‘Gourmet Capital’. Having retained much of the flavour of its maritime history it’s a delightful place to explore. After time at leisure we go on to call at bustling Cork city before returning to our hotel.
Day 4: A free day in Cork
Spend your time at leisure today – venture into the vibrant city of Cork or relax and enjoy the leisure facilities at the hotel. Cork is a wonderful city to explore... Built on an island, the pretty bridges and narrow alleyways add to its picturesque setting. You could also call at the busy Old English Market – recently visited by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth!
Day 5: Kenmare and the Beara Peninsula
Today we venture out to Kenmare, which can only be described as a haven of tranquillity as it is set in some of the most breathtaking scenery in Europe. Kenmare links the Ring of Kerry with the lesser-known Beara Peninsula and this relatively unspoilt area of Ireland will be our next stop.
Day 6: Cork to home
Our tour driver will advise your return transfer times, before you will be taken back to Cork Airport for your flight home.
