The wife and I are planning our first trip to Ireland in May and we are planning on hitting three cities: Dublin, Howth and Cork. We've got Dublin and Howth covered, but we're having trouble picking out a place to stay in Cork. We prefer B&B's or small hotels off the beaten path and we just can't seem to find a place that looks appealing. I know Cork is a fairly tourist-riddled area, but there has to be someplace that isn't totally cheesy and has more "local flavor" than "tourist trap".

Does anybody have any advice or suggestions?

TIA for your input, it is greatly appreciated.
