I'm traveling to Ireland in August and wanted to know if anyone had suggestions on places to stay. I'm renting a car and will be traveling all over the country. I've been told that staying in B & B's offers the greatest chance to meet the locals and experience the kindness and friendship of Ireland, but there are tons of them! I would also like to stay one night in a castle, so if anyone has suggestions, please let me know.

  1. hotels


  2. We stayed in three fabulous B&Bs:

    In Western Ireland (Doolin, Co. Clare): Horseshoe House, Josephine Moloney, proprietress

    In North Central Ireland (Killeshandra, Co. Cavan): Glencloy House, Donald and Ethel Woodhouse, proprietors -- the loveliest, kindest, most wonderful couple in all Ireland.  He chats serving the guests at breakfast while she tut-tuts at him from the kitchen.  Delightful.

    In Northeastern Ireland (Carlingford, Co. Louth): Barnavave House, Martin McCardle, proprietor.  Now famous in my family for his quote (in response to, how's the weather there today), "Well, the lough(bay)'s bubblin' up in the yard just a wee bit."

    We never did stay in a castle, but goodness knows there are endless websites dedicated to such things.  Enjoy.  And be sure you get a small car.  The roads in Ireland are fearsomely narrow.

  3. its not just in the b and b's its everywhere jtry the other places as well like dublin. people are friendlly

  4. I took a tour of Ireland and stayed at the Burlington Hotel - Dublin,  Killarney Avenue Hotel - Killarney, Co. Kerry, Bunratty Castle Hotel - Bunratty, Co Clare, all were very nice, I'm sure how much they cost.  I also stayed at the Blooms Hotel in Dublin's Temple Bar area, it's pretty cheap, less than 100 euros a night.  All these hotels have the full irish breakfast too.
