Airport and Cork Ferryport,

As we are in such a rural location most guests would travel to us
by car. However, we are easily accessible by public
transport.
Buses are a safe and efficient form of public transport in
Ireland and they are very popular. The 007 bus route from Cork or
Kilkenny comes to Ardfinnan which is just 3 miles/5 km from Kilmaneen and we
would be happy to pick you up from there by prior arrangement.
Alternatively, buses from Dublin, Limerick and Cork pass through Cahir or
Clonmel many times each day. A taxi to Kilmaneen can be used to
complete these journeys. The "Ring a Link" rural bus service
can bring you to Kilmaneen from Clonmel, Monday to Saturday - phone 1890
424141 for details.
Please check www.buseireann.ie
for details and timetables of national bus routes.
Rail transport to Kilmaneen is more complicated. The
