Excerpt from The Lakes of KillarneyThe Lakes of Killarney being situated in the County of Kerry, on the south-west coast of Ireland, were, up to a very recent period, visited by but few tourists, and by none except the adventurous, and those who did venture to pene trate through the country into the romantic scenes of the west, found poor fare and accommodation at their journey's end, - although, we must add, they ever found, as they will still find, a hearty and warm welcome from a people who are proverbially hospitable, and deem it a duty as well as a pleasure to be kind and courteous to the stranger. In the present day, however, it is almost unnecessary to say that railways have all but annihilated distance, and brought in their train the usual accompaniments of hotels, lodging houses, and tourists in abundance. Of the two former it is sufficient to say that the best hotels are out of the village, situated in different fine positions around the lakes. Of course those in the village are cheaper. We would recom mend tourists who go there during the season to write and secure rooms several days before setting out on their journey.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
