B & B's In Carlow/Dublin?

---

Your site & expertise came highly recommended from the Fodors Message Boards, so I did some poking around and ordered your book this week, hoping that it would get here soon. My mother & I are going to Ireland the first week of September, and are in desperate need of the names of some quality B & B's in Carlow & Dublin. We will be staying in Dublin for a few days so I can see some of the sites (my mother was born & raised in Ireland) then we are off to Carlow to take the remains of my grandmother home. (she passed away last year) I need some ideas as soon as possible, any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Accommodations in Carlow & Dublin

---

Dear Paddy,

So sorry to hear about your grandmother -- my condolences. But it is lovely that you and your mother will be escorting her home. I'm sure that it will be a bittersweet trip and I'll try to help in any way I can.

Your book order came to me on July 18 and was sent to you priority mail on July 19 so hopefully you should receive it on Monday. It will be of help in planning your trip and if you have any other questions you can come here to my forum for some answers.

In Carlow the following places came highly recommended to me and though I have not personally stayed in them they may be what you are looking for:

1. Ballyvergal House e-mail: ballyvergal@indigo.ie web: www.golfgreenfees.com/Ballyvergal/

2. Barrowville Townhouse: e-mail: barrowville@premierguesthouses.com web: www.premier-guesthouses.i...wville.htm

For city center accommondations in Dublin I recommend the following:

1. Alexander, Davenport or Mont Clare: www.ocallaghanhotels.ie

2. Brooks Hotel: www.sinnotthotels.com

3. Brownes Townhouse: www.brownesdublin.com

4. Fitzwilliam Hotel: www.fitzwilliamh.com/fitzw/welcome.htm

5. Holiday Inn: www.holidayinndublin.ie/

6. Jurys Christchurch Inn: www.jurys.com

7. Mercer Hotel: www.mercerhotel.ie

8. Stauntons on the Green: www.beourguest.ie/listcou...cfm?id=691 or indigo.ie/~hotels/

9. Trinity Lodge Guesthouse: www.beourguest.ie/listcou...cfm?id=696

I have two places in my book near the airport, if you would rather stay in the suburbs of Dublin.

Thanks for your kind comments and I hope this info is of help to you.

Michele
