Question

Are there any childcare options or accommodations for children?Are there any childcare options or accommodations for children?

Answer

We are having a child-free wedding and accommodation is limited for our guests. If you need to bring your kids here are a list of childcare providers for the night of the wedding: 1. https://nanniesforweddings.ie/ 2. The Wedding Sitter: thelovelysitter@gmail.com +353 83 413 8478 (used to work at a daycare a friend's son attended) For extra "camp beds" or "cots/cribs" you can contact Cabra Castle. Here are the guidelines for them: - The camp beds are max to the age of 12 years old, they are for small children. - Most rooms can accommodate 2 camp beds/cribs, some may have space for 3. The cottage king room could hold 1 camp bed/crib comfortably, but the standard cottage room would be tight for 1. For bringing children to Day 2 at Gartlan's please email us at alanandkriswedding@gmail.com.

Question

Do you have suggestions on what to do in Ireland?Do you have suggestions on what to do in Ireland?

Answer

We would prioritize in this order The East: Dublin https://www.ireland.com/en-gb/what-is-available/attractions-built-heritage/museums-and-attractions/articles/dublin-city-top-nine-attractions/. The hop on hop off bus takes you to see everything. The 2 most popular places to see Irish dancing & singing would be the Merry Ploughboy and the Arlington Hotel. Temple Bar is a must see, the pubs there really cater for tourists and always have live music (Irish trad music & modern). If you want to try ‘traditional’ Irish food recommend The Quays Bar and then go downstairs for the live music. If you want to escape the super touristy area you can walk to Stags Head pub and then all along George’s/Aungier/Camden St (it’s one street but changes names but changes names) has some pubs where the Irish go. For nearby Dublin, Glendalough is an old monastery within the Wicklow mountains. The West: Definitely see The Ring of Kerry. If you go, stay in Killarney, it's one of my favorite town/villages in Ireland. Stay here and see the national park and follow signs to drive up to Ladies View for an amazing view. We also recommend seeing the Cliffs of Moher in Clare. Close to the Cliffs is Bunratty Castle where you can go for a "Medieval Banquet" dinner. Galway is a fun city full of pubs and a smaller more laid back Dublin. Donegal and Sligo are also very pretty and give you a sense of the Irish country life (as does most of Ireland outside of Dublin). The South: Blarney Castle/kissing the Blarney Stone in Cork. West Cork is beautiful, like the colorful buildings in Kinsale, and doing the small hike up to the Baltimore Beacon if you have good weather. There's also an adventure boat ride out to some lighthouses which was fun, we had dolphins swim next to the boat for a lot of it. Kilkenny is also a charming city with a lot of historic buildings. The North (the UK): Belfast has it's own charm and the Titanic museum. Recommend visiting Giant's Causeway and the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge.
