We will have 6 days roughly from leaving Belfast August 4th, to Flying out to England August either 10 or 11 depending on what we find. Im looking for some help Itenerary wise with our time, I thought drive to the fartherst South and then Work back to Dublin (spending 1-2 days in Dublin?)
What im looking for is:
1) Where would you reccomend staying in Cork, moderate price good location
2) I read you can stay in neat places like old castels and lighthouses etc...but cannot find further info?
3) How to make the most out of our 4-5 days in the area, we dont mind travelling around and will hopefully have a car, perhaps we only stay 1 night or 2 in cork and then stay in Limrick or Killarny?

Help!

Hello everybody, I have the choice between staying one night in Cork or in Limerick. What would you recommend? What is important to us: budget accomodation good nightlife good choice of happy hours lower price level Should we stay in Limerick or Cork for our last night?

Will be staying in Cork City this summer and really would love to visit all the surrounding towns close by. I know how to get to Glounthaune, wondering what it is like there.

Hello, I am spending a week in Ireland (for the first time)& staying 3 nights in Dublin & 4 nights in Cork. I am afraid this is a bad choice (Cork) as we only have a rental car 1 day & I understand Cork is a big city. Would we better served to stay in a smaller village like Killarney, Kenmare, or Kinsale? I want the 'real Irish experience' and am afraid I will miss it if I stay in big cities all week. Also, I'm afraid it will be expensive to travel by train or bus to all the lovely country destinations from Cork. We are on a big budget. Please help! Where should I stay?
