Glencar House Hotel by Joanne Griffin
Are you in search of an intimately family run Hotel that will offer a superb retreat from all the stress and bustle of everyday life? Then Glencar House Hotel is just the idyllic country retreat you are in search of! It’s the ideal place to clear the mind, fill the lungs with clear country area and recharge the batteries.
Glencar is an area festooned with walkways, majestic mountains, world class salmon and trout fishing, or just even allows your soul to bathe in the truly un-spoilt natural beauty as the hotel itself boasts panoramic views of the valley, woods, McGillycuddy Reeks and Carrauntoohil.
Today, Eilis and Liam Hodnett, The Hotel Managers, offer exceptional accommodation and service where guests constantly return to again and again. The décor and furnishings are superb and all 19 en-suite bedrooms boast views of the spectacular landscape. The interior of the hotel exudes a cozy warmth and tranquility from the open log fireplaces to the Victorian snooker room and library. The tasty cuisine from the Cedar Restaurant is crafted from the finest and freshest seasonal local produce.
This magical treasure trove of delights is all about good food, utter charm and comfort and this was recognised when Glencar House Hotel was honored as a winner of a TripAdvisor 2012 Travellers’ Choice Award. Less than 1 % of all accommodation listed on TripAdvisor received an award.
Further details on this exciting venture can be found on www.glencarhouse.com or by email on [email protected] and to talk directly to either Liam or Eilis Hodnett, simply ring 066 97 60102
The running of this new enterprise has emerged in 2011 with the help of the Back to Work Enterprise Allowance (BTWEA) facilitated by South Kerry Development Partnership Ltd (SKDP). This scheme encourages people getting certain social welfare payments to take up self employment opportunities by allowing them to retain a proportion of their social welfare payment, plus secondary benefits.
For further information on the BTWEA, please contact an Enterprise Officer from SKDP in your area. Joanne Griffin (Killorglin and Kenmare) on 087 615 2660 or Anne O Riordan (Cahersiveen and Killarney) on 066 947 2724.
