Both Avanti West Coast and Stena line have some good offers at the moment and I was thinking of making a trip to Holyhead and then a day return on Stena Line across to Dublin.
I am a little confuesd about Holyhead though, the Stena line uses T5 which seems quite a long way from where the train terminates.
Do Stena have a shuttle bus from the station to T5 or do pedestrains have to walk all the way?
This makes a difference as I am mobility impaired for a 15 minute or so walk.
TIA

You will be bussed between the ferry and the terminal (which is part of the railway station building) at Holyhead regardless of which company you travel with.

In Dublin, Stena Line also bus passengers between the ferry and the terminal; while Irish Ferries passengers walk between them means of a gangway - but a bus transfer can be arranged if you are unable to walk this distance.

However, have you considered a Rail and Sail ticket? It is exceptionally unlikely that any combination of rail and ferry tickets will be significantly cheaper - and a Rail and Sail ticket means you are protected in the event of a ferry/train delay meaning you miss the connection (you will be entitled to take a later train/ferry) - whereas with separate tickets it's your problem, you're at their mercy and if they want you to buy a new full-price ticket and won't refund the old one, you cough up or don't travel.
