A good website for hostels and B&Bs in Ireland?

Question

Hi all i am going to travel a bit of Ireland in the coming weeks.

What i am after is ideas for places to visit and stay.

I really want to visit the Island or location of the Father Ted tv show as i was a fan. After that anywhere suits but i like anything that can simply take my breath away or is well worth a long journey. Start point will be my home county of Tyrone.

Only ever been to Donegal and Achill on holidays.

All advice will be grateful. Thanx

Answer 1

hi you

the best web site is discoverireland.ie if you want to look up both

Answer 2

During our last trip to the Emerald Isle, we stayed at the Wrynn family B&B in Salthill, a suburb of Galway.  Their website is: http://www.fenaghhouse.com/.  Mrs. Wrynn was a wonderful hostess, and the house was a short drive from the Cliffs of Moher (which we couldn't see, as the weather was too foggy during our stay!).

Answer 3

I use Hostels.com they are a rather good price and the reviews help a lot. I booked my 2 hostels in Ireland there.

i would say the south of ireland is definitely worth a visit. roughly a four hour drive from dublin.

Dingle --> stunning scenery and lots to do. gorgeous beaches, you can even go dolpphin spotting. lots of GREAT restaurants wiht extra special sea food.

Answer 5

A good website for up-to-date accommodation listings and other info is:

www.discoverireland.ie

It's the official website of Ireland's tourist board, and contains lots of ideas of things to do and festival/event listings.

If you're a fan of Father Ted, you really should make your way to Co. Galway. Craggy Island is somewhat based on the Aran Islands off the west coast ( in the last few years a Ted-Fest has been going on in February each year - brilliant stuff!).

I'd recommend visting Galway City itself too, a very vibrant, artistic place with brilliant cultural vibe and good pubs, music etc. From there you can get a bus to the ferry in Rosaveel to go to Aran. When you finish in Aran, I'd definitely head to Connemara for a look. Follow the coast road from Rosaveel through Camus, Carna and Roundstone into Clifden. Stunning scenery.

If you're coming from Tyrone, you could break-up your trip in Sligo and Westport on the way to Galway.
