Guests traveling into Ireland

Current guidelines from The Irish Government are all international visitors need to restrict their movements (this means staying indoors and avoiding contact with other people and social situations as much as possible) for 14 days on arrival into the country. International Visitors will need to complete the COVID-19 Passenger Locator Form at the airport and supply the address they intend to spend these 14 days at and a contact number. For further information, please visit https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/e885b2-covid-19-coronavirus-travel-advice/#what-to-do-when-arriving-into-ireland and then review booking in light of the current guidelines.

At Killashee Hotel, the health & safety of our staff and guests is the utmost importance to us. For this reason, we unfortunately cannot accept any guests who travel directly into Ireland from abroad and/or guests who have not completed 14 days of restricting their movements prior to arriving to Killashee as we do not have self-isolation facilities onsite. In the interest of the health and safety of our employees and other guests unfortunately we will be unable to accept any such booking until government guidelines change

In the interests of safety for all our staff and guests, we would ask you to be equally vigilant and inform us if you feel anyway unwell or have been compromised before arriving to the hotel.

We want thank you for your continued support during these unprecedented times & we very much look forward to welcoming you all back to Killashee
