Can someone suggest some good Places to stay while in Ireland along the coastal regions. (Dublin, Cork, etc)?

Question

My friend and I are going to be going to Ireland on June 28 and will be staying there for a week. We would like to know some good places to stay (Hotels, Hostels, anything you can suggest that is Cheap but safe & does allow you to get sleep) while we are there. We are hoping to visit the following places Cork and Kerry, Clare, Galway, Mayo and Sligo. Then again the time we are going there are many events in Northern Ireland so we are torn. Sights or events. So if anyone could help with where to go that would be of great help.

Thank you :-)

Answer 1

I'm from Ireland myself- I live in Belfast. If you're in the North of Ireland, go to the Giant's Causeway in North Antrim or even spend a couple of days in Belfast City. The nightlife is brilliant and there are loads of pubs with live music. There are a ciuple of good hotels around. In the centre of Belfast the Europa is a brilliant hotel (3stars) but if you want that extra special stay why not look slightly away from Belfast and go to the Culloden Hotel (5 stars, very luxurious) in Holywood. For more info on those hotels go to www.hastingshotels.co.uk

Well, if you're going to the East definitely check oout Dublin. It's a 2hr drive from Belfast there and again, brill night life, good hotels (if you really want to splash the cash, the Berkely Court Hotel is 5 star n v nice, go to www.juryhotels.co.uk). There are plenty of good shopping centres including St Stephen's Green which is huge and there are plenty of shops there. In the south, you can't miss Co. Kerry- Killorgilin is a pleasant village and Killarney is large ton with plenty to do. Why not see the Ring of Kerry while you're there? If you are, I'd recommend going to Dingle Bay where you can go on a boat and search for Fungi the dolphin! He's sooooo cute (personal experience). Though if you want a total getaway, go to the West of Ireland where there are some parts where only Gaelic is spoken, but mostly English is spoken. Renvyle is a lovely spot and only about 30mins from Clifden, a large town, and an hourfrom Galway City. The Renvyle House Hotel is brilliant and the staff are v pleasant. But again, if you're one with lots of money, THE hotel is Ashford Castle with lovely grounds, but like that's only for the mega rich. If you want any more info feel free 2 email me [e-mail]

Answer 4

have a look at tripadvisor.com, there are lists of hotels but also B&Bs - these offer a fairly cheap yet high standard accommodation. Do a Google on private hostels too, they are a new type of accommodation here, not all dorms like they used to be, lots of them have private rooms, even ensuite, for really low prices and the standard of the ones I've stayed at was excellent (rainbow hostel in dingle, co. kerry stands out in my mind!). You won't go wrong with places recommended on tripadvisor in general.

if you're going to mayo, don't miss achill island. The cliffs are amazine.
