Had a couple of people ask about The Glenmalure Lodge that I stopped in on Sunday night.
I've no hesitation in recommending it as a stopover after or before using the Dublin ferry.
Details here, 40 Euro B&B and good food and drink, great location
Glenmalure Lodge
If you're lucky enough to discover this place, then you're in for a real treat. This is a popular country pub with a genuine traditional atmosphere run by friendly proprietors Pat and Anne Dowling. Family-run and always friendly, it has a proper pubby atmosphere with timber floors, lots of old memorabilia adorning the walls, open fires and plenty of good comfortable seating, all adding to its interesting character and charm.
One the most frequent requests from visitors to our website is from people looking for traditional pubs which offer accommodation, the Glenmalure Lodge is just that place. The cosy bar with its turf fires and traditional old world atmosphere is a good dining pub offering locally-sourced Wicklow lamb, beef, poultry, fish and game, when in season. Must try dishes include the venison in red wine jus and their fresh fish specials. The Glenmalure is a good allrounder: traditional music sessions are a regular feature, and the accommodation offers every modern convenience alongside all the charm and hospitality you’d expect from one of the country’s oldest coaching inns.
This is an ideal location to base yourself while touring the "Garden of Ireland". All the rooms are neat and comfortable, and with huge helpings of food, all sensibly priced, Glenmalure Lodge is a great all rounder and you can't help but be impressed. Recommended.
THE HISTORY
Established in 1801, The Glenmalure was first known as “Wiseman’s Inn”. It later became a hunting lodge for Lord Meath, the ideal location for him to relax with his friends in a haven of peace and tranquility.
Of course Glenmalure was not always such a peaceful place being a natural defensive stronghold down the centuries. Fiach McHugh O’Byrne, the famous Wicklow chieftain, has his castle close by at Ballinacor. The elusive 1798 rebel, Michael Dwyer’s name is also synonymous with the district.
The Lodge is situated in the heart of the Wicklow Mountains (The Garden of Ireland) in the longest glacial valley in these islands, making it the perfect holiday centre for those who want to explore some of Ireland’s most ruggedly beautiful countryside.

I can see from your route on the Saturday afternoon that I was miles out if I wanted to see the highest sea cliffs in Europe, I headed off down Sligo way which was off track

That pass with the hairpin bends is Glengesh Pass, and it is a cracker!

Found a nice statue of a harp player called Carolan, some bugger had nicked his strings though.
Carolan was a blind harpist - perhaps half pissed.
That some low life would leave him with no strings attached is terrible.
It's the parents I blame myself.
String em up.
