Hello,
I will be visiting the Wicklow area in October with my family; we are from the US and hoping to learn more about family heritage. I am trying to find accomodations that are beyond the transactional hotel check in, check out experience. I am also hoping to find more opportunities to connect with Irish people than just staying at someone's Air BnB home.
To explain what we are looking for, we visited The Bishops Lodge 2 years ago. We dined with other visitors and spent the evenings conversing by the fireplace. This sparked a love for peat burning fireplaces for us. It also allowed us to talk and learn about Ireland from Irish people, instead of just reading books or online guides.
We are essentially hoping to recreate this experience in a new part of Ireland. Can anyone recommend bed and breakfasts in Wicklow County that may fit the bill?
Thanks very much for any guidance or advice!
