I just spent 2 weeks in Ireland over christmas/new year's and most of it was at my family's home in Dingle. it's a magical place where many people still speak irish, and everywhere else we visited, people would say how jealous they were that we were visiting Dingle. it's a pretty small downtown area but I saw several pubs offering accommodation, everyone is so welcoming. specific recs include dick mack's pub, the fish box, and murphy's for ice cream.
