"small" by California standards, but the food was exceptional - as were the people who took care of us. Great shopping district with garment options everywhere. The walks are gorgeous

Cute town. Good for one night stop between Dublin and elsewhere. Convenient for getting early start to Cashel and Blarney on the way to Killarney.
