Permalink  

We have have rented 2 cars 3 people in one car and 4 in another.  Flying in to Shannon and out of Dublin arrive Sat Sept 14 depart Sat 21 spending last two night in Dublin.  We have booked the first night in Dingle and then plan to make our way to Dublin. Any suggestions on where to spend the next 4 night.  The town of Kenmare looks like a good place to stay  after we do the ring of Kerry.  thanks for help.  your book is so helpful and I know we cannot see everything  but we want  to see the coast and some small towns.  Thanks Patti

Patti,

Killarney or Kenmare are both good bases for the SW. You will probably want to break up the drive back to Dublin by staying in another place in between. Since you have 7 people traveling together, I definitely suggest making reservations especially if you plan to stay at B&Bs. Talk to your group and see what other places appeal to them.

This sounds very similar to a trip I took in 2009.  Seven of us travelled together - landed at Shannon and took off for Dingle for three nights.  If you don't have to see the Ring of Kerry (especially after Dingle) you might want to consider going north.  After Dingle we travelled to Galway (stopping at the Cliffs of Moher). Then to Westport in County Mayo.  From there we travelled to Virginia in County Cavan (home of St Kyran's - the best B&B in Ireland) then to Dublin.  It sounds like a lot but we never felt rushed.
