Brooke I

What can I expect to spend for a vacation (flight included) in Ireland?

My fiance and I want to honeymoon in Ireland. Here are some details:

Departing from Los Angeles
Spring or Summer 2010
5 day stay (most likely week days)

We would like to stay somewhere with lots of natural beauty and a few things to do (site seeing, historical tours, pubs). We probably do not want to stay in the Dublin area due to the cost. It will be our honeymoon, so we would like a bit of privacy. I have heard of renting small cabins/houses. Is that cost-effective? It will be more of a relaxing, slow-pace experience than an all-out go at Ireland... we plan to come back again with more funds to do more traveling around.

Any suggestions/info? Please help!

If you book your flights well in advance, you can probably get them fairly cheap (around 250 euros each - $325 USD)

County Cork is very scenic, and caters for all tastes. You are an an hours drive to the coast at any point in the county.

Accommodation can be as cheap or as dear as you want - you have to know where to look.

killarney is also very attractive - although a bit more expensive as it's a tourist spot.

The west of Ireland is heaven on earth...

Mail me direct, I'll give you the best prices for accommodation pending what part of Ireland you want to come to.


Sshhhh! It's Podge and Rodge

Sher it's the middle of the night in Ireland at the moment.
Come back in the morning when the rest of them will be around.

Well theres Boyle in Roscommen that has pretty much everthing your looking for a little town accommodation, great natural beauty has a huge park in it with dear roaming around it and boat rides out to the little islands in the lake and has a pretty historical background with a museum and and the like.
Oh and congratulations on getting married.

Base yourself in one area and do day trips. Some friends of mine from the Netherlands stayed in Kenmare, County Kerry, they rented a fair large house there for a week (4 bedrooms) and rented a 9-person people carrier for their day trips. It was ideal for them.

Don't attempt to see all of Ireland in just 5 days. What most Americans in particular don't realise before coming here is that the roads in Ireland are not built for large volumes of high-speed traffic, so you cannot drive 100 miles in 100 minutes - it simply isn't possible. Much better to settle on one area and stay there.

Also, be aware that there are very few automatic cars in Ireland, and the rental agencies don't have that many available, and the ones that are available cost more to rent and insure. You still have time to learn to drive a real car if you can't already, use it wisely.

A useful website for you is www.discoverireland.ie, and you can also try the Everything Ireland forum on www.delphiforums.com for information from Ireland veterans from the US.
