Ashford is in County Wicklow about 30 miles south of Dublin. Recently while visiting Mount Usher Gardens in Ashford I came across a nice B&B. Very comfortable and quiet and they do a great breakfast and (unusually for a B&B) an evening meal on request.
I would recommend this B&B, ‘Carriglen’ as one of the better Wicklow Bed and Breakfast accommodations that I have stayed in.
Also if you have time go for a walk in the Devil’s Glen nearby.

Outdoor dining with Dublin’s top restaurants,  chef demonstrations, wine tastings and exhibitions from over one hundred food producers are amongst the fare. A gourmets delight.
Some of Ireland’s top chefs including Derry Clarke of L’Ecrivain will be showing off their skills.
