Harvey's Point has been on the list for a while now. Not much change from a grand though! Was looking at hotels in Killaloe earlier. Will check out Mountshannon too. Thanks for your input.
There are good choices in Killarney and Wexford that would not break the bank and might fit your criteria. I can recommend The Ferrycarrig in Wexford and there is also Whites and The Talbot in the town centre. Killarney has any amount of good hotels. Also Athlone might be worth considering with the Raddison and the Hodson Bay offering reasonable value. Galway is always a nice option with loads of good hotels also.
