Bed and Breakfast Ireland: A Trusted Guide to over 400
23 Nov 1999
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I had the opportunity to use this book while on an extended vacation in Ireland. I had the use of several guidebooks, but this publication became the book of choice. I found the information to be timely and descriptions of the various B&B's to be accurate, including the personalities of the various owners. Only one time was I unable to contact a B&B using the information in the book and subsequent attempts revealed the telephone number to be disconnected. The guide offers a good selection of types, locations, and prices and is, in my mind, a "must have" guide when traveling in Ireland.

All of the Recommendations I took from this book were GREAT!
11 July 2002
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
And contrary to another review, the auther DOES list more than one B&B per town. We used this book almost exclusively in booking a 14 day vacation, and we were never disappointed. The authors notes and reviews are spot on and reliable. There were no "surprises"; if she said a host took Visa, they did, if she said they didn't, they didn't. The very first recommendation we followed (Cloch na Scith in Spiddal, Co. Galway) was so well described that I felt instant recognition with the house and the owner who did - just as the author said - offer the warmest welcome in Ireland. Each recommendation was just as terrific and when we could not book in a desired house, as in Adare, the hosts of those houses made excellent, comparably-priced recommendations for us - and by the way, the author lists B&B's of varying rates, to suit every budget. Without exception, the hosts presented in this book were warm, friendly, professional and "vacation makers". I feel completely comfortable recommending ANY of the author's recommendations to anyone else preparing to visit Ireland...THIS BOOK is the one you want to work from. Highly Recommend.

Glad I brought this book on my Vacation
27 May 2004
Format:Paperback
We bought this book for our vacation to Ireland, and we ended up using it every day we were there. Only one day did we use the Tourist offices to book our accomodations instead. While the place we got from them was fine, they charged a 4 euro booking fee and it wasn't as nice as the B&B's listed in this book. My only advice to others travelling and using this book--look for the farmhouse accomodations--these were the nicest places we stayed at (and the least likely to change ownership). Only one phone number that we tried was incorrect (as of 2004).
I rate the book 4 stars because one place we tried from the book was a pretty bad experience--the owner had bought out another B&B and turned it into a business with a 25 year old british guy running it. The place listed in the book was her private residence. We never even met the woman talked about in the book, and the accomodation was unclean, smoke-filled, run-down, and overpriced (oh, and they charge for breakfast!). When we tried to back out because the accomodation was not suitable for us, she decided she would charge 1/2 the price of the room on our credit card. Obviously the authors made a mistake in judging the proprieter's character. And just so no one else wastes their time or money, do not bother booking with Seaview house in Galway.
Besides that one small hitch, the rest of the accomodations were absolutely lovely, and I highly reccommend all the farmhouse ones! We prefered the older residences and places outside the city centers for that old-fashioned B&B feel.
