    It's typical of the mind-set of AH that the worst town thread is a lot busier.;)

    They also used a capital "B" for "Best" and "T" for "Town.
    It's just a flashier, more eye catching thread.
    Some people are born winners, can sell ice to eskimos, have the gift of the gab etc
    OP is probably dying a lower-case death inside by now any way

    There are quite a lot of wretched (pardon my German) shïtholes in the Midlands though that need to be mentioned.

    Strandhill in Sligo is a nice place. Good golf course there.

    I was in Oranmore (Near Galway) for the first time recently and thought it was very pretty. Compact, but nice.

    Ardmore in Waterford is a lovely place with a really impressive hotel.
    I also like Roundstone and Clifden.
    Are they your feudal barony tenures then?

    not big enough to class as a town but Doolin is a cracking little spot

    worked down there on the cliffs of Moher years ago in the summer

    Amazing spot with a bit of sun!!

    +1 for Inistioge, it's fab.
    Also:
    Dunmore East
    Adare
    Lahinch
    Rosscarbery
    Glandore
    Killarney
    Dingle
    Clifden
    Westport

    Unfortunately I don't know enough of the towns in the North.

    I'd much prefer the countryside of Ireland than the towns though.

    Moville and Greencastle during the Regatta festival up to a few years ago. Recession has unfortunately decimated the place.

    I really like Kilkenny, Glengarriff, and Maynooth. Plenty of lovely spots in Ireland. On the whole I love Dublin too.
