A getaway to an island — no matter how big or small — should feature on any good travel itinerary. Make your escape complete by heading to Ross Island and spending time by the water.

This water-surrounded land mass is located in Killarney, but Ross Island of course isn't the only thing to check out around this area. If you're eager for more sights, Gap of Dunloe is worth a detour as well.

If you’re planning on staying in Limerick…this is an absolute gem! Adorable boutique hotel with a full day spa. Beautifully appointed throughout. Our room was simply devine. And the breakfast which was included was delicious. Our favorite hotel from our trip starting in Donegal and ending in Cork.
