I agree with Ann41, there are amazing views of the Mourne Mountains sweeping down to the sea, at Newcastle. Different levels of light throw shadow on the mountains in a million ways, so every day it looks different. I drive home from my son's childminder (near Ardglass, in Co, Down) and come to a point on the road where I just want to stop and gaze at the mountains, every time. And I'm not even on vacation - this is just a regular day, probably late for work!

When I visited in 98 and am returning next week, I loved the cliffs of moher, I am making a return visit this trip, also Rock of Cashel in Cashel, Co.Tipperary just amazing! As well, while visiting relatives in Galway, we stopped at Spiddle and there was a great view of Clare and the Aran Isles if you walk down the pier!

Wojazz,
Yes, it's a great place. Bridie is a gem, very enthusiastic, and she even let us do laundry in their washer.
The breakfast view is spectacular, they have a carriage house in the back (with kitchen & washer), and be sure to look for the white kitty cat that purrrrrrrrrrs so loudly!
And if you want to go to the chocolate factory, take a left as you leave the B&B driveway.

From the Ring of Beara, there is a spot just made for a picnic- there's a rock formation (probably man-made) that works perfectly as a table, and overlooks THE most gorgeous view imaginable...miles of bright blue ocean, with beautiful green cliffs on either side.

You asked for favorite hotel with awesome view. The Bervie on Achill Island is great but do ask for a room with sea view. The cliffs across the bay are almost as good as the Cilffs of Moher. Elizabeth is an excellent host and the food was superb.

Tons and tons....but my favorite is Slea Head.
A friend who is a professional guide suggested Bray Head on Valencia island~he said it was the most beautiful headland in Ireland, and I have to agree.
In fact Tennyson wrote a poem about it:
'Break, break, break,
on thy cold gray stones, O sea!
and I would that my tongue could utter
the thoughts that arise in me'
(there's more but I don't want to post it all)
