We are just in the early planning stages but we are thinking of going to Ireland for a month and renting a home/apartment/etc. This will be part of the time that we are both off on parental leave so baby will be 14-16 months old at the time. We want to set up in one location for the whole month or perhaps two locations roughly half and half. We suspect we will have to rent a car but would also be open to something near a train or other convenient transit option. We are cost concientous, so, may be in the country or a village/small town.
Anyway, anyone who has ideas on areas to think about basing ourselves would be much appreciated. Suggestions will be evaluate weighing the following: low cost, access to transportation links, beauty. Im really just looking for the names of areas rather than specific accommodations to rent but am open to both.
