About staying elsewhere in Ireland
The rest of Ireland covers the counties beyond the main city regions, and stays here range from hotels and guesthouses to self catering cottages and a small number of hostels. Bases differ widely: Wexford suits the south east coast, Limerick and Shannon serve the mid west and its airport, Carrick-on-Shannon sits on the Shannon in Leitrim, Cavan is lake country, and Kilrush looks out on the Shannon estuary in Clare. Many stays sit outside towns, so a car helps for reaching coastal, lakeland and mountain areas. Town stays give shops and transport links; countryside stays give quiet and space. Guesthouses and self catering make up much of the choice.
297 stays have guest reviews, averaging 4.3 out of 5.

Wexford suits the south east coast, Limerick and Shannon the mid west, Carrick-on-Shannon the Shannon in Leitrim, Cavan the lakes, and Kilrush the Clare estuary. Each has its own draw, so the choice depends on whether coast, lakes or a city base matters most.
Should visitors to the rest of Ireland stay in a town or in the countryside?
Town stays in places such as Wexford, Limerick or Cavan put shops, services and transport links close by. Countryside stays, including self catering cottages, suit those with a car who want quiet and space. Many parts of the region are rural, so a car is useful either way.
How easy is it to reach the sights of the rest of Ireland from where the stays are?
Stays are spread across several counties, so access varies. Coastal Wexford and Kilrush, the Shannon towns and the Cavan lakes each sit near their own landscapes. A car gives the most flexibility; public transport exists between larger towns but is thinner in rural areas, so it is worth checking before booking.
Which stay types in the rest of Ireland suit groups, families or short city breaks?
Self catering cottages and houses suit groups and families wanting space and their own cooking, and many places offer family rooms. Hotels in Limerick, Wexford and Cavan work for short city breaks. Guesthouses and the small number of hostels suit simpler, shorter stays.
