Hi Trisha,
Great to hear that you are planning a visit to Ireland with your dogs!
Would you consider venturing north to explore part of Northern Ireland? The A2 heading north from Belfast is known as the Causeway Coastal Route. The well signposted road follows the stunning coastline of the North Antrim coast. It is studded with gems such as historic castles, quaint harbours, glens, golden sandy beaches, unique geology and friendly towns and villages.
There are various pet friendly establishments as well as pet friendly accommodation throughout the Causeway Coast and Glens should you decide to visit.
If you require any further information, please take a look at our website:
