Glamping plans set to enhance town tourism 

By Sean Moriarty

Killarney town centre tourism could be enhanced even further if planning permission for a new Glamping project is granted on the grounds of the racecourse.

Kerry County Council has received a planning application from Killarney Glamping. The company hopes to build 15 glamping units and associated services within the racecourse complex. This is the same company behind the popular and successful Grove Lane Glamping site on the Ballycasheen Road and run by husband and wife Mike and Linda O’Sullivan.

“Quality customer service and our commitment to excellence for which Killarney Racecourse is renowned is certainly a value shared by the award winning team at Killarney Glamping,” said a Killarney Racecourse spokesperson.

“Should the application be successful it will only further compliment the existing offerings of golf, horse racing, yoga and delicious coffee and treats provided at Navé Coffee House here at Killarney Racecourse. There are strict provisions in place for CCTV, security and gate protocols, it won’t have any impact at all on the horse racing aspect of the business and is a very exciting project indeed.”
