Beaufort is handy to Killarney, quiet at night, beautiful and close to the Gap of Dunloe, which Colm will encourage you to walk. It was the highlight of our trip. We loved the comfort and amenities of the apartment, attached to Colm's beautiful home. The Beaufort Bar and Restaurant, a two minute walk, was warm, welcoming and served very good food. We stayed three nights and would have happily stayed longer. Colm was so much fun and shared lots of helpful info.
