We are leaving soon for this journey. I am at the "packing for fancier evenings" stage. of the 13 nights, how many would you say require a dress OR black pants and nice top? All the hotels look very fancy to me, and most of the dinners are in the hotels, but are they in the dining rooms or pub-style restaurants? I know about Ashford Castle so no need to include that.
Also I have waterproof lace-up leather shoes but are hiking boots also a good idea? Mine are waterproof, but I have no other suitable boots. Thinking in terms of spending time outdoors during free time exploring Ashford Castle, for example.
Thank you!
