Day 1. Welcome to Dublin!
Arrive in Dublin Airport (DUB) and pick up your rental car from the rental area. Make your way to your first accommodation in Kilkenny, a medieval city with deep religious roots. Here you can explore well-preserved churches and monasteries. Take a walk down the city's "Medieval Mile," where you'll encounter breathtaking sites from the 13th-Century St. Canice's Cathedral to the Black Abbey Priory.
Celebrate your first night by treating yourself to an authentic Irish meal and some Irish craic (fun)!
The Parkview Hotel expertly combines chic decor with cozy furnishing to create a unique and unforgettable experience. Nestled between the Wicklow Mountains and the Irish Sea, this well-placed hotel is encircled by world famous golf courses, sublime hiking, and historic sites. Take in the picturesque beauty of the countryside as you explore the town and its offerings. The hotel bar is ideal for relaxing with a drink after an invigorating day of exploring.Â
Tulfarris Hotel & Golf Resort in Wicklow is located only 45 minutes from Dublin City and 25 minutes from the M50. One of the county's most picturesque hotels, Tulfarris boasts spectacular views, deluxe guestrooms, and an 18-hole championship golf course. The hotel is a carefully restored 18th-century manor house on sprawling grounds. Take a lavish afternoon tea at the hotel, relax at Elk Bar, or enjoy a hearty meal at the on-site Lime Tree Restaurant.Â
Day 2. Kilkenny
Start with a trip to Kilkenny Castle, then perhaps you'd like to visit the 13th century St. Canice's Cathedral or the Black Abbey Priory. Explore Kilkenny's town center, filled with charming medieval architecture! Pop into one of the shops on the Medieval Mile, then discover the secrets of the Smithwick's story at the Smithwick's experience.
Day 3. Kilkenny - Ireland Bed & Breakfast
After breakfast, it's time to travel to your next destination. The remaining nights of your vacation will be spent at the Irish Bed & Breakfast of your choice! Be sure to book your stay prior to your departure date to ensure you are accommodated at your first choice Bed & Breakfast. Your local hosts can also help you with directions, or suggest different places to visit around their home!
Check-in - Ireland Bed and Breakfast
Staying in an Ireland Bed and Breakfast offers travelers the complete flexibility of creating their own itinerary. You must select your accommodations ahead of time. To ensure the best availability, it's recommended that you pre-book your B&Bs as far in advance as possible. Enjoy your choice of accommodations from small towns to quaint villages to countryside manors.
All Irish B&B's pride themselves on providing their guests with a fresh, home-cooked breakfast each morning and quality accommodations that cater to every need. Draw on the local knowledge, personal touch and warm welcome of your Irish hosts. Learn about all the best local restaurants, pubs, shops, attractions and activities. Your hosts specialize in the best services available from golf to walking tours of the area, to adventure breaks and much more.
Why Stay in a B&B?
- Most bed and breakfasts are owned by the B&B operators themselves, who usually live on the premises. It's natural to expect that B&B operators who live in their own B&B's will bring a different perspective to the job.
- At B&B's, "customers" are truly guests, and it shows. The B&B owners will gladly help you find the best restaurant in town, the best pubs, point you to the best tourist attractions and local amenities and much much more. Many B&B's depend on word-of-mouth recommendations.
Combine those two factors and it's easy to see why B&B owners go out of their way to make sure your stay provides some great memories of Ireland.
*B&B check-in is between 3:00pm and 6:00pm..
