We recently had a trip planning session with a Rick Steves Travel Advisor and got tons of great information including recommendations of places to stay. Most of them sound great. However, I noticed that they are all small hotels or medium size B&B's so I'm sure they are the same places used on the Rick Steves Ireland tours. We will probably stay at most of them but would like to find at least one place that is really special. "Special" to us would be a family home that offers one or two rooms or has an interesting host to speak with.
We are planning on staying 2 or nights at (or near) Dublin, Kinsale, Dingle, Galway, and Trim. Does anyone have any recommendations for any of those areas?
Thanks in advance!
