We stayed at Rockside House in Cashel when we were there in July and were very pleased. The rooms were large, very clean, and airy. Our rooms had a view of the Rock, although you had to crane your neck a bit to see it from the windows because it towers above you. The B&B is located right at the base of the Rock. We took our coffee outside early in the morning, sat on a bench, and spent an hour gazing up at it in the quiet time before the visitors began to arrive. Also lovely when it's lit up at night.

avoirgold, I am also using CIE vouchers... where did you decide to stay in Cashel and why; if you don't mind me asking? I am leaning toward Rockside, but would love more info. Can't seem to find a website for them. Would certainly help. Have a great trip!

Hi sjbisanz1, I tried to book Rockside but they didn't have any availability. We ended up booking with Ashmore House. We won't be there until 10/19 so I don't know yet first hand, but they were recommended by Joan at Rockside as an alternative since they didn't have any rooms open. Hope this helps.

Actually, from the pics. that I have seen, Ashmore was my second option. Like the Cashel Palace but hate paying a supplement with the vouchers! Doing it in Dublin just to be downtown, but nowhere else. We will be there 11/19. Would love to hear on your return what you thought of the place. Have a wonderful trip!
