Irish Tour Day 6

Published on by Rob-and-Sue.UK1 Comment

We are nearing the end of our week in Ireland.  We’ve seen cities, towns, village, countryside, seaside, fields, mountains.    And although it’s been fairly relaxed, when I planned the tour back in December 2018, I thought it would be prudent to take a break from the driving.   So, no destination tonight, we’re stopping two nights on the shores of Lough Corrib, and touring the west side of the country.

Down in County Kilkenny in the south of Ireland sits the small, good value and good quality three star Rhu Glenn country club hotel, just outside the town of Waterford.

With 31 en-suite rooms, we found the hotel quiet, comfortable and welcoming.

Irish Tour Day 2

Day two of our Irish visit started with a heavy frost, and a hearty breakfast from our host.  I must admit, we haven’t stayed in bed and breakfasts since our courting days, and was a little sceptical about going B&B rather than hotels, but Joe convinced me and he was proven right.
