B&B near Dublin?

[hughjayteens]

I need to spend a night in/near Dublin this weekend with the nearest and dearest, and rather than the usual city centre drivel, I would rather stay in a little village outside the city.

Any suggestions??

Get onto the Discover Ireland or the Dublin Tourist Board web-sites. There are plenty of places North or South of the city, some in quite scenic locations:

North - Malahide 10 miles / Portmarnock - 8 miles / Baldoyle - 8 miles / Howth - 8 Miles / Sutton - 7 miles

South - Dum Laoghaire - 6 miles / Blackrock - 4 miles/ Killiney - 8 miles / Dalkey - 7 miles.

Hope this helps.

Malahide is nice. Just north of the city and a short ride from the airport. It is on the coast and full of good little restaurants. There's millions of B&Bs there, but they are not really that much cheaper than a hotel, once you add in everything. B&Bs normally charge per person whereas you can get a hotel room and load it up with as many as you choose.

The accommodation/tourist office at the airport can always help.
