This is a fluky forum. I had posted an itinerary over the weekend with our planned itinerary that is not the SW but it does not come up when I sort for Ireland. It does appear when I click on my name but who knows where it is hiding.

After reading everything here (that appears) we are happy with our plan to spend three nights in Athenry, one in Kilkenny and the last two somewhere in Meath County or thereabouts that will set us up well for catching our return flights from Dublin. I have a place picked out of the Town and Country selection for Athenry and also got a recommendation for Dunromin in Kilkenny but I would like to hear if there are any other suggestions for Kilkenny and the last two nights north of Dublin.

I like these places in Kilkenny:

Launard House
Alcantra
Cnoc Mhuire
Fanad House

Although not in Co. Meath I like these places near the airport:

Drogheda: Boyne Haven
Malahide: Beechwood Country House
Swords: Evergreen

Stay in Swords (Right near the airport) or Malahide which is a lovely town on the sea and has nice pubs and restaurants. Drogheda is too far and can't see much to offer for a last 2 nights there.

We stayed at Cashel Lodge in north Dublin before our flight out. It worked very well. The hosts were very helpful with everything. City bus service almost to the front door made it nice to go downtown without driving, so I turned my rental car in early, took the bus downtown a couple of times, and took a taxi (van for 5 people) to the airport.

We stayed at the San Augustine in Swords the last night of our trip. It's very close to the airport, and the town has some nice little restaurants and pubs. The hostess of the B&B is very nice, the breakfast was good, and the rooms very comfortable.

we stayed at the Holly Tree House in Swords. Very nice, new (built in 2000 or so)
