Jun 30 - July 7 Southern Ireland Road Trip Assistance (Shannon to Dublin)

Evening and thanks in advance for the help. We are flying into Shannon morning of Jun 30 from LHR, departing Dublin to BCN July 7 around 3pm and could use some assistance with the itinerary. This is our first trip to Ireland.

Here is our suggested itinerary - please advise and let us know any B&B or castles to stay - we prefer 4* and 5* locations, prefer meeting and staying with locals (AirBnB), and doing things that are non-touristy/local off beaten path....and farmers markets. We are OK not doing Blarney Stone or Book of Kells.

June 30 - Arrive 10am Shannon, drive to Galway, stay Galway 1 night
July 1 - Limerick (or stay in Galway 2nd night)
July 2 - South to Cork
July 3 - Cork then north to Kilkenney
July 4 - 7 - Kilkenney to Dublin, 3 nights in Dublin, arrive in afternoon, drop off car. Spend night of 4th, all day the 5th and 6th, and haead to airpoart @ 1pm on 7th

Thoughts, suggestions?

Thanks!

If at all possible I would work in the Dingle Peninsula. Also, Adare, Kinsale and Cobh are all favorites. We also prefer small towns to cities.
