we are hoping to travel to kenmare next month for a few days with 2 young kids, has anyone done this journey with kids, where to stop along the way?

what do you think of the ken**e bay hotel ( lodges)

thanks for your help
 
Why don't you Google Map the journey, pick a point about half-way along the road which is near a town, and plan to stop there. There are loads of towns along that route so should not be too difficult. Agree that Adare is a nice place to stop but you're nearly there at that point. Safe driving.
 
You should look at travelling via Cork to Kenmare - earlier this year I went down by Limerick and back by Cork. The latter was much quicker.
 
The lodges are lovely and you have access to the hotels leisure facilities. The lodges are about 7-8 minute walk from Kenmare town

Why the asterisks? Surely its OK to use the name of the hotel when asking a question about it?!
 
thanks for all the suggestions, we might try going by cork, not easy travelling long distance with 2 youngs kids but love the look of the lodges in kenmare!

Travelling down to that neck of the woods myself shortly, would you go all the way into Cork or head for Mallow and onto Killarney to Kenmare?
 
If you're driving to Kenmare via Cork, Kilcoran Lodge near Cahir is one good place to stop. It's a small hotel so you can get fed, and there's plenty of green space for the kids to have a run around before getting back into the car for the next leg (approx. 100 miles).

Off Junction 11 on the M8.
 
somebody here at work has said to me that going through limerick is quicker, so id know, i supppose i could stop in limerick..
 
Have made the trip myself a few times - I take the Mitchelstown exit, then head to Mallow - Killarney - Kenmare route - you have more motorway miles this way than via Limerick. Only went via Limerick once, on a bank holiday weekend but also encountered an oil spill which left tailbacks, so it took an hour longer than was supposed and so coloured my opinion of that route!
