Wexford (Yeah, seriously.) (1 Viewer)

We were thinking of trying to get away for the weekend, on the offchance that wankers haven't booked up everything for stupid Valentine's day.

Anyone gone on a weekend there lately and know any decent hotels, or even any tips on where to go? We don't have a car, and were hoping for somewhere accessible by train, preferably by the sea, but somewhere we could take a couple of nice hearty walks in a pretty spot to recharge because stress is going to give me a bursted brain muscle if I don't get out of Dublin for a few days.

Doesn't have to be Wexford, just somewhere that doesn't take too long to get to, but is further than, you know, Bray or summat. Wondering if anyone's been anywhere nice lately that they can recommend.

theres a thai restaurant in wexford town jane called the vine tree and its just incredible.
better thai food than what we ate in thailand!
was only there for a weekend before the summer and we spent most of the time in our friends house.
its a nice town and its got a beach which is always good.
take ye an hour and a half to get down on the train.

i love driving down to wicklow at weekends in the car, sunroof open, aviator sunglasses, sweater wrapped around my neck sorta thing.

enjoy.

You should visit Roisin while your down that way.

Wexford town is a lovely spot, good pubs and restaurants and is accessible by train.

Only experience of accommodation there other than mates' houses is the Talbot hotel. Nice.

La Dolce Vita is a great restaurant. Don't think it does evening meals though.

Cool, thanks!

Checked the Talbot, but it's booked up, as I suspected most places would be. Which they are. Gah. Stupid Valentine's Day. I wish there was a secret code word where if you said it, the staff would be all, "Why yes, we do have a booking for someone who just needs a fucking break already..."

We're just consoling ourselves with the fact that if we were able to get a booking anywhere, it woudl be full of Valentine's people and there'd be hearts and flowers everywhere, and we'd both end up punching things.

Gah.

Triple gah.

We're still trying because we're either stubborn or stupid, but hey, came across some deadly gaffs for future reference, and these restaurants sound great. Thanks, dudes!

Kelly's hotel - award winning spa and whatnot, and you can walk on the beach

Thanks! This is precisely the sort of thing. Definitely doing this later in the spring.
