Looking for a place to stay (2 nights) between the Cliffs of Moher & Wicklow
 

Hi all , <BR> I need some suggestions for a place to base out of for 2 nights in Spring. I will be coming from the cliffs, and heading out towards Wicklow- staying south of Dublin. <BR><BR>I am thinking of possibly Birr, Nenagh, Roscrea, Portlaoise, or Killaloe. <BR><BR>I would prefer something that has food and drink in town ( usually choose b&amp;b's within walking distance so I don't have to take the car out at night...) and on the 2nd day, will probably take a short day trip. <BR><BR>thanks for your suggestions ( be sure to include B&amp;B ideas too :)<BR><BR>Stevo

Haven't spent a night in any of the places you mentioned, so I'll add one of my own: Kilkenny. Nice town, plenty of pubs, etc. Lots of B&amp;Bs. Just dump your car as soon as possible and make sure your B&amp;B has its own parking.

Ann - <BR> thanks for the suggestion - Kilkenny is actually on our plan , for after Wicklow. <BR>We are trying to find someplace on the way to Wicklow. <BR><BR>Stevo

Stevo,<BR><BR>Perhaps the town of Cashel would be a good choice. It's a town with a first-rate up-scale restaurant, Chez Hans, along with one of Ireland's most memorable historic sites, the Rock of Cashel. The Cashel Hotel offers a fine lunch, and you can hike up to the &quot;Rock&quot; from the hotel grounds (dubbed the &quot;Bishop's Walk&quot;). <BR><BR>As for lodging, while I've not stayed at the following, it features a terrific location along with many positive reviews: Legends Townhouse and Restaurant. Indeed, Legends was mentioned in the highly reliable &quot;100 Best Places to Stay in Ireland (2001),&quot; published by Bridgestone.<BR><BR>Best of luck.
