It's definitely a trade off. We opted for the same route in Portland. We found a nice B&B tucked into a historical neighborhood but there wasn't much within walking distance and parking was outrageously expensive and not too plentiful downtown. We've learned that, generally, it's best to stay where you can explore the city by foot but Ireland will be the exception next time. I want to stay in the countryside for our next visit.
That makes a lot of sense. I think what we might do is find that isolated place here in the state where we have already done our exploring. That way we aren't missing too much. Sure, we might have to go out to eat, but other than that, we can just stay warm and cozy somewhere. @mrsbozz keeps hinting at going away during the winter sometime and just spending a weekend watching the snow fall.
