Hi:
Does anyone have a suggestion on where to stay wirhin a 10-15 drive from Dublin aiprort?
I have been looking at Malahide, its a cute village but where to stay? The one hotel that is recommended is a little pricey-$140/night for me. Is there a smaller hotel in the city property-I like the idea of walking along the harbor etc. before leaving Ireland.
Thank you!
Sherri, it looks like the distance and time from Malahide is about the same as from Dublin. Personally, I would just stay in Dublin-though a walk along the harbor does sound good. You'd have more lodging and restaurant choices and could probably do better price-wise. Have a great trip!
Have not stayed there but surely a B&B would be cheaper. In my 2013 B&B book it shows a place called Pebble Hill in Malahide for about 35 euro a night. Looks like a 3 star place, just an option. Good luck. Also try Smoothound.com website it might be helpful.
If you've already seen Dublin, Malahide is a pleasant change. It's also much quicker to get to the airport from there. It's time, not distance that matters.
Howth, about ten minutes further out, is also an alternative.
