Best way to get from Dublin to London? B&B recommendation for Dublin?
 
What is the most economical air carrier Dublin-London? Or is the best way the ferry-train which sounds like it takes 10 hrs? Also, am looking for a Dublin B&B with charm & ensuite bath for single woman. Will not have car. Thx Fodorite's once again!

I'd check the Ryanair website for prices on flights. Make sure to check ALL the London airports - if you don't need to arrive at a specific airport, you can often get a cheaper deal to London Luton that to, for example, Gatwick.

I really wouldn't bother with the ferry train unless you have a particular reason for not wanting to fly. If you are planning to travel midweek, I'm almost positive you will get a flight a lot cheaper than the 10-hour ferry-train marathon would cost.

As for a B&B, sorry can't help you - but I would advice looking outside of the city centre, but along the DART line/bus routes. There are quite a few on the Clontarf Road, along the 130 bus route (which is regular, and gets you into the city in about 15 mins)

Thank you. I am looking at May. When does Ryanair let one book for that, pls?

You would probably need to wait until after Christmas to book a Ryanair flight for May - but keep an eye on the website in case any good offers come up.

Hi, Is the name a-tea-bag or ate-a-bag? Sorry, I just couldn't resist asking :-)

I don't know if this B&B has charm, but my daughter stayed there for a month and said they were a very nice couple and very helpful. It is close to the bus station in Dublin and an easy walk to all parts of the city.

I can definitely recommend Kilronan House in Dublin, for charm, and I noticed single women at breakfast. The rooms are en suite. It is fairly central, near St. Stephen's Green, and a great spot for walking to all the main sights!
