Accommodation In Ireland

Whether you are staying in an exclusive luxury or modest self-catering accommodation, one thing you can be certain of in Ireland is that you'll receive a warm welcome. The Irish are renowned for their friendliness. Even in the big corporate hotels, where you might expect the reception to be more impersonal, the staff go out of their way to be hospitable.

The choices are enormous : you can stay in an elegant 18th-century country house, a luxurious castle, a Victorian town house, an old fashioned commercial hotel, a cosy village inn, or on a working farm. For the hardier visitor there are good hostels, plenty of caravan and camping sites, or even your own horse-drawn-caravan. There are also a lot of guesthouses usually found in large cities and towns and these are usually converted family homes. The other option is the bread-and breakfast accommodation and Ireland has the reputation for the best B&Bs in Europe.
