Cork to Connemara by Big T, 17 Jul 2023
Holiday Rating:

An enchanting yet fun holiday with lots of surprises along the way.

Each venue along the way had its own characteristics which meant that each stay had its own particular charm. The driving distances were not onerous and so every day could be spent exploring the beautiful country of Ireland. We loved the people, the pubs and the general happiness of the places we visited. A cracking holiday up there among the best we have had.

The attention to detail was the thing most apparent for me. Talking to the property owners we met it was evident that someone had visited from McKinlay Kidd to ensure the accommodation and facilities were up to standard. The descriptions given were accurate.

Our first visit to Ireland and it did not disappoint!

Our itinerary was well thought out, very good accommodation, each with it's own distinct style. Beautiful scenery, stunning coastline and amazing beaches, plus we had very good weather as well!

They were helpful, informative and professional. The holiday details were well presented, giving plenty of additional information as well as excellent directions. They were able to accommodate a couple of changes that we requested without any problem..

Inspirational Ireland

Our holiday was excellently planned from beginning to end . The hotels ( with the exception of one ) were all brilliant. The itinerary was well planned and we enjoyed the experience immensely.

We have so enjoyed our McKinley Kidd holiday that we shall most certainly be using them again. The planning of it and the information pack that we received was excellent.

Wild Atlantic Way

Great holiday touring part of the Wild Atlantic Way from Cork to Connemara. We were blessed with beautiful weather for most of the trip - had it been pouring with rain we might not have enjoyed the trip so much and not seen the breathtaking views. Great accommodation, friendly people and good food. Would certainly go again.

All the arrangements ran smoothly and all our questions and queries were answered quickly beforehand. Great places to stay and recommendations of where to eat, what to see etc. I enjoyed the fact that all the accommodation was arranged and booked to fit in with our dates and we didnt have to juggle everything around ourselves. Would certainly book with them again

The Road Less Travelled- The Wild Atlantic Way

The holiday was the Wild Atlantic Way in Ireland. It started in Kinsale and Baltimore, but the scenery improved when I arrived at Mizen Head and then crossed the border into County Kerry. I would have preferred to spend longer in County Kerry.

McKinlay Kidd find small out-of-the-way accommodation; e.g. the last Guest House of the holiday had wonderful views over the Atlantic and Brandon Mountain. the staff were very welcoming and I was told that Robert McKinlay had taken his mother to vet the accommodation and they were very thorough in their inspection.

Another fabulous trip with McKinlay Kidd

We traveled the western coast of Ireland -- The Wild Atlantic Way. We stayed in three different locations and saw as much of the coast as we could. It was wonderful.

Excellent visit to a lovely country.

A six venue holiday in The Republic of Ireland. Using ou own car the directions were clear and the accommodation well chosen. It gave us a superb experience in a country we had not seen before.

Very efficient and keen to tailor a holiday to our requirements. The Director Robert had visited all the venues used and offered good directions and valuable advice. All were of the highest standard.

We went for ten days motoring and stayed in five hotels booked and recommended by McKinlay Kidd. It was altogether enjoyable and every thing worked. We are pleased to recommend them.
