We will be making our first trip to Ireland flying in and out of Shannon the beginning of June. We are planning the trip at the last minute. We will have 10 travel nights not counting the night before we fly home. We would like to limit our overnight to 3-4 places. Would like to see Cliffs of moher, Bunratty Castle, Dingle peninsula, ROK, Muckross House, Blarney Castle and Rock of Cashel. We will have a car but don't want to spend a lot of time driving back and forth to places. II was thinking first 2 nights in Burren area then going to Dingle, then possibly Kenmare then Kinsale then driving north to get back to Shannon. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Gosh, I thought you were going to ask about the West coast of the US and was going to suggest Portland!

We loved Castlewood House in Dingle. Absolutely beautiful and luxurious B&B with a fantastic breakfast. My only regret is that we didn't stay for longer than the 2 nights we were there. I highly recommend it for your time in Dingle.

We stayed at the Captain's House in Dingle town. We absolutely loved it. They only have 3 suites to rent, so depending on when you are going, reserving in advance is best. We had a complete unit with a small kitchen, which included a washer combo with dryer. Our bedroom was upstairs. We also had a little porch area to ourselves and in September, the weather was sunny, so we actually spent some times outside with our coffee. The kitchen was complete with everything you need and we were stocked with eggs, milk, cereals, breads, yogurt, cheeses and freshly baked pastries. Our last night there, we ate in and made ourselves omelettes and toast. We were also in walking distance to the marina and town. The owners were so welcoming. We spent 3 days there and it was our favorite place. Enjoy Ireland!
