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

Hi all ,
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.

I am thinking of possibly Birr, Nenagh, Roscrea, Portlaoise, or Killaloe.

I would prefer something that has food and drink in town ( usually choose b&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.

thanks for your suggestions ( be sure to include B&B ideas too

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&Bs. Just dump your car as soon as possible and make sure your B&B has its own parking.

Stevo,

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 "Rock" from the hotel grounds (dubbed the "Bishop's Walk").

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 "100 Best Places to Stay in Ireland (2001)," published by Bridgestone.

Best of luck.
