Kay and her husband run a clean and tidy B&B about 20 minutes by bus from Limerick. It would be better to stay there with a car but the bus runs several times a day and you can plan your trip to the city accordingly. I didn't have a car but managed just fine (with their help). Kay makes a great full Irish breakfast, which will undoubtedly help you start your day. Her husband is a treasure of local knowledge and history. They're both so witty, friendly, and helpful. I was even loaned a bike so I could cycle to visit Adare, a nearby picturesque (and quite famous) village. I really enjoyed my experience at their place.
