I'm looking for somewhere to rent for a week at the end of May in County Wicklow. It needs to sleep 2 adults and 1 child. I was looking at an apartment in Bray because of the ease of access to Dublin (looking to spend a day or maybe 2 in the city). However, it doesn't have to be Bray but somewhere coastal would be better the mountains as DS is only 2.

I'd be really grateful for your ideas / tips and / or links. Thanks.

wicklow itself is full of lovely places to go -
Try dun laoighre too - it s a little closer to the city.
If you stay in bray or dun Laoighre you ll need a car to get to see wicklow
aughrim village is fabulous and has a lovely market on saturdays
Check out
brooklodge www.brooklodge.com/?r=3653339&gclid=CKut086xwa0CFQRP4Qodl1RBAg they have self catering and lodges you can rent and it s really lovely
woodenbridge hotle avoca is lovely too
Any self catering around aughrim or avoca would probably be lovely and you ll probably get great deals on the net.
Oh you will definitely need a car though.

the7thdwarf do you know if there is any equivalent of Center Parcs in Ireland?
We are going in April but probably Wexford or Waterford...

smithster - we stayed at Coolattin Lodge which is near Shillelagh in Oct 2010 which was nice but its inland - we did drive in to Dublin from there but it might be further than you want. They have renovated far buildings which were well equipped.

I went to Trobolgan in Co Cork years ago which is slightly similar to CPs..... x
