Title: Son Planning a Honeymoon in Ireland! Post by: haynes9 on April 23, 2007, 11:48AM Here's the deal. My second oldest son is getting married, most likely in December. He wants to take his bride to Ireland.
Any suggestions for travel guides or other thoughts would really be appreciated. One of the challenges is he will be there over Christmas. Ireland at Christmastime or winter in general ; good idea, bad idea? Thanks in advance! Have a great day! Title: Re: Son Planning a Honeymoon in Ireland!

It will definitely be cold in December, probably from high 30s F to low 50s F. It will be wet on some days. Dublin of course is always busy, it is a typical European Capital City. My recommendation is they should stick to the South West, around Killarney and Dingle. The climate is better than elsewhere and there is more happening. Find a nice warm family-run B&B, I can recommend some if you like. One really special thing for a Honeymoon would be to spend a night in a castle. One that I know well, as it is near to where my Mom was from, is Belleek, built in 15th Century, it is in County Mayo which is further North, but it is beautiful and not as expensive as you might expect, about the same as a US 5-star hotel. http://belleekcastle.com Title: Re: Son Planning a Honeymoon in Ireland!

Thanks for the help and have a great day! Title: Re: Son Planning a Honeymoon in Ireland! Post by: Trouble on April 24, 2007, 10:59AM I went to Shannon and loved it! Of couse I was 8 but I still liked it from what I remember.
