    Dungarvan and Kilkee are both nice charming towns IMO.

    Lived in Dungarvan for 6 years; town and especially West Waterford are very underrated.

    I live very close to Clonakilty; lovely atmosphere there. Gateway to some stunning scenery.

    Terryglass is a magical little spot.

    I love west cork and would visit more if it wasn't for its dire road network and nonexistent phone signal.

    Lovely beach outside Dungarvan too, Clonea.
    Dungarvan has good infrastructure for a town of its size, very clean and just charming.

    Infrastructure is key for a best town.

    Short visits to places where I can't be contacted would almost be a bonus for me.

    No problem with the roads either; unless you're trying to reverse an articulated lorry backup a stretch you'll be grand.:)

    The coastline around there is lovely. The mountains are very under-rated around there too. I have superb memories of my time there.

    Ardmore in Waterford is a lovely place with a really impressive hotel.
    I also like Roundstone and Clifden.

    I 99% agree with this. I'd take out Sligo and add in Union Hall, Kinsale and Kinvara.

    I guess some of the above are villages instead of towns.
