Advantages: A spectacular, lofty peak overlooking one of the fairest of scenes...
Disadvantages: Well, unless you're lazy, none, really

...Macgillycuddy's Reeks, which culminate at Carrauntuohill, Ireland's highest peak. The Reeks are a long, spurred ridge with much ground over the magic altitude of 3000ft (indeed, there's substantially more 3000ft terrain therein than in the rest of Ireland put together), and Ireland's four highest mountains are all located here. Carrauntuohill lies towards the western end of the range, with the main spine running east and two prominent subsidiary ...
...the furthest away) knob of Carrauntuohill, before the huge blunt pyramid of Caher completes the scene. Crossing the dam and pressing on in the same direction will soon have you plodding up a slightly squidgy slope: on emerging on the ridge ahead, I could just say 'turn left up Caher'. But this is a long climb, and I should probably make reference to the superb retrospective view that you'll probably use as the excuse for a rest on more than one ... Read review

Advantages: The finest mountain in the British Isles
Disadvantages: The weather. 'Fickle' doesn't begin to sum it up.

...didn't last very long... Brandon Mountain (3127ft) - (Cnoc Bhreandáin) Brendan's hill In its utmost south-west, Ireland throws out four (if you're fussy, five) peninsulas, like a misshapen and gnarly hand attempting to claw defiantly at the sea. First there is Mizen, hilly rather than mountainous, and something of an hors d'oeuvre. Then, across Bantry Bay, is Beara, a land somehow splicing violently rocky peaks and jagged coastline with verdant ...
...(in particular, Slea Head and Brandon Point). And there is a huge L-shaped crescent of mountains: starting south of Tralee with the Slieve Mish/Bautregaum group, crossing a low col to the west to the Benoskee / Stradbally tops, before finally bending north over the magnificent Conor (Conair) Pass to culminate in the fabulous massif of Brandon, in my humble opinion the finest mountain in the British Isles. This is a big claim, but I'm far from alone ... Read review

Advantages: NONE
Disadvantages: MORE PETS IN A PET SHOP

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES VISIT THIS SO CALLED PET FARM. MY HUSBAND AND MY TWO DAUGHTERS HAVE JUST RETURNED FROM OUR VISIT WHICH LASTED ALL OF 5 MINUTES AND WE WERE CHARGED 32 EURO FOR THE PLEASURE 8 EURO PER PERON AND NO CHILDREN'S OR BABY REDUCTION AVAILABLE. WE DID ASK THE OWNER FOR OUR MONEY BACK AS THERE WAS HARDLY ANY ANIMALS TO SEE WE HAVE SEEN MORE IN A PET STORE. BUT THE OWNER WAS VERY NASTY AND TOLD US TO GO AND LOOK A BIT HARDER FOR HER ...

Advantages: Great links golf
Disadvantages: Not lie;y to hold many major championships due to its remoteness

...believe most of the real Ballybunion comes on the 2nd nine. The 10th heads back towards the Ocean, doglegging left through a valley, and at the 11th tee it is worth stopping to take in the view. Then a downhill shot confronts you – but not an easy one. There is the beach on one side and sandhills on the other (I have lost plenty of balls in both). Even a good shot can get into difficulties on the severely undulating fairway. If all has gone ...
...well aimed between the sandhills that protect the green. The 12th, a par 3 of 192 yards, usually plays into the wind (sometimes so strong you can only just reach with a driver), because the green is in the sandhills and is steeply sloping at the front, you need a full carry on the shot. The 13th, 484 yards, is not in the least a long par 5 but does demand caution. For those going for he green in 2 (I advise you lay up) there is a stream about 80 ... Read review

Advantages: superb accomodation, beautiful place,very hospitable,ideal for young children.
Disadvantages: A long drive from England

...I booked a week at Kennedy's farm online with no problems.We had to send a deposit and for a week in April May June,September or October the cost was 500 EUROS.In July and August this increases to 750 EUROS. I was a little apprehensive as this was a lot of money especially after counting in the cost of the ferry and the general cost of living in Ireland is not cheap.However when we arrived the accomodation was superb.We didn't use the upper part ...
...not going), I think that Kennedy's Farm while not cheap is good value given the quality of the accomodation and activities on offer,the beautiful location and the relaxing nature of this holiday.The journey is long and I would not recommend driving from e.g. the South East of England as we do to the ferry in South Wales(we needed sick bags!) then one and a half hours on the fast ferry then another 4 hours to County Kerry without a break especially ...
