Ireland
I want to visit Ireland sometime this year, with Maria We're not really into nightclubs and stuff, but it would be nice to stay somewhere where there is a good night life, something resembling the culture of Ireland. I'd also quite like to stay somewhere that allows easy access to the country areas and maybe the coast of Ireland.
Can anyone recommend a good place to stay? I looked on http://www.discoverireland.com/ and east Ireland looks really nice |

Re: Ireland
The Osprey Hotel in Naas, Co. Kildare.
Or just down the coast from Dublin, maybe somewhere like Bray or Greystones. Good access to Co. Wicklow, and a short train ride into Dublin.

Re: Ireland
Ireland is really nice, Dublin's worth a visit. Visit the oldest pub have the best pint of guinness you'll ever have, giant's causeway etc. etc.

Re: Ireland
You might want to take a couple of days for that, there is lots to see and do.
The Guiness Storehouse is definately worth a visit. We went last year for a day trip and ran out of time to get round all the things I wanted to see.

Re: Ireland
Dublin is a bit touristy and with prices to match, plus lots of stag weekends are held there. To see the real Ireland, get out of there.
Cork is nice and not too far from Dublin I've been to the West Coast and that's really nice.The Cliffs of Mohen are one place you should go if you can. Breathtaking. Wherever you go you will find you always get a good welcome wherever you go If you do go, take your wet weather gear, as Ireland is green for a very good reason

Re: Ireland
Be sure to include Northern Ireland. As I posted yesterday, it is simply stunning. Down and Fermanagh - fantastic.
