Thank you for your reply. I feel we would be ok for the next 5 years while I am working as we could live on one wage now. the two rental properties are currently taxed at high rate but if Husband retired then we would be out of the high bracket. Is there an interim payment between 65 & 66 equal...

Hi I am looking to park my car this Sunday (we will eat in the hotel so will be a customer) and get a bus into the city center. I am thinking Lucan or somewhere that we could easily get a bus to O connell street and return on the bus and get onto the N7 easily. There is always such a queue for...

Hi we usually take a week in November and go to 1of the canary island. We have gone to Tenerife a few times as we are into walking and sight seeing rather than sun bathing ,this has suited us better. Ryan air seem to have dropped the winter flights from Cork to both Tenerife and Gran Canaria or...

Yes we have been. We went to Girona for two days which was lovely ,it had a nice old centre. We then went to Tossa de Mar which was a nice resort area with a beach area. We also spent a few day in Barcelona. Overall we enjoyed it and the area around Tossa de mar was nice with good local...

We did a tour called the Scavi tour you can google it and get reviews. We thought it was a great tour it was under the Vatican the original Church. I was not expensive but well worth doing.

+1 for Lagos. It would be quite like Praia da Luz with nice restaurants.

Hi I am thinking of 10 days in the Barcelona area. We would like to spend 2 days in the city itself. Then we would like to go towards Girona and spend 4 nights in 2 places. I was thinking of Tossa de Mar for 4 days. What other place should we choose. We like to walking possibly some costal walks...

We stayed for a few days in hotel Malcesine. It was a family run hotel with a nice feel to it. It was in a good location on the lake front. The food was good and we had half board and enjoyed it ,there were lots of restaurants in the town if you wanted to try those. It was a nice town and I...

We have lived in our home 4 bed bungalow on a big site at the edge of a rural town for 32 years and in the local area since birth. We have recently been thinking of moving to a larger town about 20 miles away. We think this town would be a nice place to retire as it has more services like bus...

I just saw a deal on dealrush.ie for holiday cottages in Kenmare for the summer weeks. There are a number of blacked out weeks in July but still a few weeks available

There would be more choice in Kenmare and more supply than Dingle so should be better priced. They are on the Supervalu getaway breaks in Kenmare for one week for €499. There are ones close to the Kenmare bay hotel which has a pool but I am not sure if you can pay to use it as a non resident...

Try the Meadowlands as they do lots of offers. Meadowlands is close to the town centre and has good food but no pool. Manor west hotel has a pool and is worth checking out, it is close to the shopping center and there is also a fun play place near by. Ballyroe hotel in a few miles from town on...

Majorca would be a good choice. You could spend a night or two in Palma nice small city lively bars and restaurants. Plenty of nice walks. Then you could take the bus to Puerto Pollensa which is a great area for walking and cycling some lovely off road routes. It is a lovely island and you can...

The Malton is in the town centre and is 4*. The lake hotel is also 4* and has lake views and is more of a country house and it close to the national park . The Castle Ross is a more family hotel and would be better value but it is a lovely hotel also. It would be a little farther out of town but...

I have often stayed in a premier inn which is good and clean and well priced. We stay in the Euston area as it is not far from the centre and close to the tube stop. I have also stayed in the City inn in Westminster but would be suitable for a family stay.
