We had booked into a B+B on the muckross road for 2 nights and last night was a nightmare, our room surrounded by skangers and they behaved like what they are, more or less til dawn and beyond, the manager spoke to them, but to no avail, why he didn't call the guards i don't know or maybe he did but it had no effect. We went for a cycle today and upon returning they were still there, so we decided to bail out, another night like last night we could not take, even though at reception we were informed they were leaving the general atmosphere around the town didn't help the situation, the sight of them, some barely able to see over their steering wheels was vile, dumping their rubbish where ever they like and generally being eyesores around the town, it's not often i'm happy to get out of Killarney but we couldn't get out of it fast enough today. We'll definitely be back, but not on the may bank holiday next year.

Cannot lay blame with the Gardaí on this week-end; just not enough man-power or resources in general really is what I am hearing. That's the same throughout this country though; so Killarney this week-end is not unique there.

The cost of the room is €150 which is a bit dear, considering we'll be in there for about 3 hours. Can you maybe list out a few hotels very close by (very very close - me in heels at 4/5 in morning), and I can check if they have cheaper rooms available for that date? Thanks!
