I would like to recommend a bed and breakfast we found by accident while in Dublin, we were taking the Ferry back to the UK from Ireland from Dun Laoghaire so we had to stay the night nearby. Found Tara Hall B&B and it's run by an English lady called Margaret, it was great and so is she.
It's a lovely house near the sea in a place called Sandycove and an Irish writer used to live in it, its different and good fun and relaxing.
