    Hi there
    I'm heading to Wexford for a few days in mid August and wondering if anyone can recommend a reasonable, central hotel. Would want it to be at least 3-star or above.

    Many thanks in advance

    Whites or the Talbot are pretty central and are meant to be good.

    Whites is a lot nicer if there isn't much of a price difference.

    You may see four stars beside the Talbot, but don't believe it. Nice staff and good service, but the rooms aren't four star.

    Thanks everyone. I checked out talbots and Whites online and Talbots seemed to have the better deal - 180e per room for the 2 nights, only when I clicked to book it was 180e per person in the room!

    So Whites it is... am booking it this morning after speaking with my friend last night. She said there is a deal on for mid-week 2 nights and a dinner thrown in.

    What would be the best bars/pubs to go to? We're in our mid-30s so not really interested in clubs. We'll be there a wed and thur night.

    Thanks for all your replies :)

    OK, will make a note of that.

    Got a great deal online at Whites - 218euro for the 2 of us for 2 nights - no dinner though, which is fine. I'd prefer to suss out where to eat when we are out and about during the day!

    Thanks!

    Well, the Stores is a nightclub and will be jammed so that's a given.

    There are some good pubs in that general area, particularly Monck Street, but the north end of town is where the nightclubs are and if you're looking for a more laid back scene then avoid it.

    I like the Sky and the Ground at the bottom of South Main Street (basically the opposite end), nice pub, can have a chat and still there's good music/a good atmosphere.

    There's plenty of nice places to eat, check out The Yard if you can, lovely place for dinner.

    Thank you so much :)

    I actually googled restaurants the other day and The Yard - came up, looks fantastic! Will definitely be going there.

    Thanks for the tips on bars... the Sky and the Ground sounds like just what I'm looking for - thank you :)
