I must say I don’t like staying in B & B’s. Only did it once and I didn’t enjoy it-didn’t enjoy it at all.
This is not 1982…
The owners of either of the B&B’s I have listed do not live on the premises and do not open the door for you when you come in after a few pints in a fucking heap.
They took one of ye in… their charity knows no bounds.

What is the set up so KP? It’s been a while since I entered one of those godawful places.
more of a small hotel.
Haven’t had a holiday in Ireland for ages, but hopefully will have newborn and a 6 year old in the summer so will not be going abroad.
I’m thinking of either caravanning in Duncannon, Co Wexford, renting a house in Connemara or heading to Kerry.
Anyone else having a domestic holiday? Where are you going? Any advice etc?

Rented a house in Dingle for a week last August. Best domestic holiday in a long while. Super spot and loads to do although can be a bit expensive as they fleece the yanks. Would recommend getting booking in before Easter to get a value for money place. Lots of accom options here: http://www.dingle-peninsula.ie/accom4.html
Don’t go to Wexford, either Dingle or Connamara would be great choices.
Dingle would probably have more to do than Clifden though, but in either place if you get a wet week you’ll be fairly short on options.

A personal favourite of mine is Doonbeg. We stayed in these old style self catering holiday cottages overlooking the atlantic ocean and it was spectacular.[/quote]
Donald Trump has just bought this place apparently
Thinking of holidaying in Ireland with the kids this year - just a few days away as I have some foreign travel without kids also to do
3 and 5 are their ages. Has anybody stayed in that Kelly’s in Rosslare place - everybody seems to rave about it or what about Fota?
Edit - I see Kelly’s recommended above so might go with that
Yea I saw that. A client of ours was planning on buying a number of the cottages but the deal fell through. Eddie Hobbs used to be involved in terms of trying to find buyers for the properties. €15 million seems like a low amount but then again we don’t know what liabilities or obligations the company has in continuing as a going concern.

They’ll love Dunmore East.
Cheers Fagan. Kelly’s booked out it seems. Anywhere in a similar vein in the country - kid friendly with stuff for them to do
We stayed at Kenmare Bay Hotel in one of the lodges last year for a week. They had a playground and leisure centre, even have a small kiddies slide into the pool.
It rained a few days we were there so it was a godsend.

thanks will check that out
I have seen Amber Springs in Gorey and Westport Woods recommended as well so will talk to herself this evening and decide
I meant to say we did Kellys the previous summer.

Banna Beach Hotel has houses you can rent, near the beach, has a pool, a playground, a kids club etc. The bar is decent there in the summer aswell usually have music on at night. Isolated enough, though you are only a short drive to Ballyheigue, ballybunion, tralee.
@TheUlteriorMotive - try giving Kellys a ring. Their website is notoriously poor and they’ll often have availability not showing on their site.
Fucking joke shop of a place.
