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.

8.6/10 Excellent! (1,002 reviews)

Fantastic hotel! Breakfast buffet was fabulous and we also ate there in the Grill one night, which was great too. The ONLY drawback (and it’s a small one) is that there is not really anything in walking distance, you would need to drive to other restaurants or shopping. We had a great experience here and will definitely recommend to friends who travel to this area.
