Style Queen, Eileen Smith from RTE’s Style Counsellors, paid a visit to Killarney at the weekend as a guest of the Killarney based travel company, Golden Ireland.

Eileen and her daughter, Suzanne stayed in the luxurious Great Southern Killarney where they were well looked after for the duration of their stay. Their action packed itinerary included a jaunting car trip through Killarney National Park to Ross Castle by Killarney Jaunting Cars – Tangney Tours, followed by a cruise on the Lily of Killarney. A sumptuous afternoon tea in the Great Southern was followed by a trip to downtown Killarney where MacBees on New Street, The Kilkenny Shop, and the Aran Sweater Market, were highlights for the fashion queen. A busy and enjoyable day was topped off with dinner for two in the Candle Room of Killarney Royal Hotel.

No trip to Killarney would be complete without a visit to Muckross House where the ladies enjoyed a tour on Sunday, followed by a stroll in Muckross Gardens in beautiful autumnal sunshine.

Geraldine McGlynn of Golden Ireland.ie says that the trip was organised to highlight Killarney as a great destination to visit this autumn.

Golden Ireland specialises in Irish travel holiday offers for the Actively Retired market.

“Killarney is a great place to visit at any time of year but as a destination it comes into its own in autumn when it’s less busy. People have more time to chat and hotels offer great value for the Actively Retired, particularly mid-week.”

The stylish octogenarian and her daughter thoroughly enjoyed their Killarney break which was shared with Eileen’s 55,000 plus Instagram followers.

Highlights of Eileen’s trip will also be shared in the Golden Ireland Travel Magazine which will be available in Fáilte Ireland tourist offices next month.
