Blarney Woollen Mills Hotel, BW Signature Collection

Blarney Woollen Mills Hotel, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent
"The Blarney Woolen Mills hotel was absolutely beautiful! Shopping and dining are available on the property. The woolen mills is actually on the property as well. They ship your purchases home to the USA, if over a certain amount! So we didn't have to worry about having room for that kind of stuff in our suitcases. It is in very close proximity to Blarney Castle and walking distance to other shopping and restaurants. It was quiet and we felt safe. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel grounds are beautiful. Parking is free, easy and convenient. Bus tours do come in, but they seem to disperse quickly and it doesn't seem overcrowded even when they're there. Breakfast is included with your stay, and it was absolutely delicious! I definitely recommend and we would visit again!"
