Woven with wild greenery and Gaelic legends, the Emerald Isle is one of Europe’s most prized jewels. Rugged Atlantic beaches and mystery-shrouded sites rub shoulders with the cosmopolitan cities of Belfast and Dublin, where literary history and warm Irish hospitality are always in abundance.

Thank you for considering our place. This is a beautiful property – a luxurious townhouse in a great location in Dingle town. There are 10 en-suite rooms in total – the rear of the building has 2 king size rooms which have harbour/ Garden views and 5 Superking rooms with views of the garden and some have views of the Harbour also & the 3 front rooms are large super-king rooms with street views and of Conor pass hills. All of the beds are really comfy! As well as beautiful bedrooms; a large light filled open plan living room opens out onto a patio area and a very large garden. The garden is enclosed by the original stone walls - creating a private space in the centre of town - and backs onto the Díseart chapel & grounds. Indeed the chapel's famous Harry Clarke windows overlook the bottom of the garden. We're always more than happy to give you any tips/ advice on places to see.
Beautiful B&B in historic building with modern, sleek (but comfortable!) interior design. Perfect location- right at the edge of the fun stuff: pubs, shops, restaurants but just beyond the noise cone. Crisp sheets, large showers and a breakfast so bountiful it was hard to avoid being wasteful. Homemade scones and bread. Hosts are gracious and helpful. If you’re visiting Dingle, you should stay here!

A perfect start on your venture on the Wild Atlantic Way, Cashel House Hotel, a luxury 4 Star country house overlooks the majestic Cashel Bay on the west coast of Ireland. Here a traditional welcome awaits guests in this classic country house retreat. Built in the 19th century this gracious country home was converted to a family run four star hotel in 1968 by the McEvilly family. Situated in the heart of Connemara and nestling in the peaceful surroundings of 50 acres of gardens and woodland walks this little bit of paradise offers an ideal base from which to enjoy walking, beaches, sea and lake fishing, golf and horse riding
We recently got married at Cashel House Hotel. We had the most amazing day. We could not recommend Cashel House enough. The food, the service, the bedrooms, the surroundings, all completely exceeded our expectations... and gave us the most wonderful day.

We wanted a place that would comfortably sleep our family of four. We considered a hotel room, but felt a two room B&B would be a better choice. We couldn't have been happier with our decision. First, the location is outstanding. Right across the street from the beach and within a 25 minute walk of Stephen's Green/Temple Bar area--close enough to be convenient, but far enough away to be insulated from evening revelry. The property has onsite, off road parking as well, which was a bonus for us. The property itself is recently renovated and exceptionally appointed. Access is controlled with electronic keys that open both the building door and the individual rooms. The main bedroom featured a luxurious king sized bed with a comfy duvet, while the second bedroom was perfect for kids--a nice full down/twin up bunk bed with an available baby's crib as well. Each room had a gas fireplace as well, though we didn't use either. All the items you'd expect are included--ironing boards/irons, hair dryers, umbrellas, coffee maker, microwave, refrigerator, etc. Both rooms feature 40" flat screen TVs with Netflix & Amazon Prime Video included. The bathroom is spacious and well lit with luxury towels and host provided toiletries. The best aspect of our visit was the gracious hostess, Mary. Mary truly cares about providing an outstanding experience for her guests. Little touches like included wine splits, chocolates, and snacks were unexpected treats. The incredible breakfast was the highlight of our visit. Whether you choose the delicious continental option or the full Irish breakfast, you won't be disappointed. We hated to leave; the kids are already asking if we can go back. Rest assured, if and when we do, we'll stay with Mary at the Beach House B&B.

Located on the fringe of Bundoran, Ireland's Surf Capital. Portbeg Holiday Homes are situated one minute walk from the Atlantic coast on the Wild Atlantic Way . We are approx 8 minutes walk from the restaurants, pubs, and visitor attractions. The location is an ideal base for surfing, golfing, horse riding, deep sea angling, cycling and walking holidays. Each house has four bedrooms and is furnished to the highest standards with an array of mod cons including TV, video, microwave, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, washing machine and dryer. All houses are centrally heated with an open fireplace for those colder evenings. Located in a secure, quiet location, Portbeg Holiday Homes are ideally suited to surfers, families or to people just wanting to 'get away from it all.'
Just back from a week stay at Portbeg Holiday Homes. Houses are really spacious and equipped with everything you would need for a week away with the family. Location is perfect, within walking distance to Bundoran centre and lots of outdoor swimming areas nearby. Staff were really friendly and helpful but also give you your own space to enjoy your holiday. The grounds are very well maintained and safe for children and dogs. Plenty of hand sanitizer around and staff always wore masks. Thank you and see you again soon!

Angela was the perfect hostess - welcoming, knowledgeable, delightful to talk to and a fantastic cook. The room was spotless, clean, had thoughtful amenities, great views out both front and back windows of the sea and beautiful landscape, and delicious breakfasts. We had traditional Irish breakfasts the 1st morning then eggs and pancakes the 2nd. Wish we could have stayed longer. We felt like we were leaving a good friend when we drove away.

Barnabrow Country House, dating from 1639, has been lovingly and extensively restored over the past ten years. It now proudly stands as one of the most stunning wedding venues in Munster. It sprawls over 35 acres, has 22 individually-designed bedrooms and a large medieval-style banqueting hall that seats 150 guests as well as some traditional self-catering cottages. It is relaxed and friendly and offers a truly different ambiance for celebrations that are bespoke and exclusive.
We arrived in this charming venue with family members appearing from various cottages and corners of the property. It felt like our own personal village! Very unusual. The wedding ceremony (which was my brother and his bride) was held in an outdoor garden. It was like being in a Hollywood movie. It was also a great property for the younger children who ran about all day exploring the various paths and feeding the goats and visiting the donkeys. There is a lovely space with a piano where the family members who could play got to show off their repertoire. Very relaxed and something different for a wedding or indeed any special occasion.

Lough Rynn Castle is a 4 star deluxe hotel set on an estate of 350 acres. The Hotel comprises of 44 bedrooms, an AA Rosette Award Winning Restaurant and caters for functions up to 320 persons. A Victorian Walled Gardens takes you to the shores of Lough Rynn, natural woodland, meandering walk ways.
I stayed here with my partner for 1 night and it was amazing from the start. We were introduced to a lovely man named Frank who assisted us with our bags to our room and directed us to the different areas within the hotel. The room within the house was amazing and the bed was very comfortable with a gorgeous view of the garden. We walked to the walled gardens when we arrived which were beautiful. We then had a 5 course meal in the Sandstone Restaurant which was lovely. Our waiter Ruairi was lovely, he was very attentive and polite and told us about each dish and wine. I enjoyed the breakfast the next morning but my partner's eggs benedict was a bit disappointing. Other than that I loved staying in Lough Rynn, the staff were all lovely and polite and really made sure we were well looked after.

This is the perfect place to stay on the rugged and unspoilt Beara Peninsula. Our lodge is situated at the base of the Healy Pass on the Wild Atlantic Way. Every effort is made to ensure that all our guests have a comfortable and relaxing stay and plenty of advice is available on what to do whilst visiting the Beara Peninsula. The accommodation is varied with a single room, double & family rooms - some ensuite. Our guests have the use of a fully equipped kitchen, and can at any time enjoy our common room that has a wonderful open fireplace for those days when the weather is soft! The Log Cabin sleeps up to 4 people consisting of 1 double bed and 1 bunk bed. It shares the facilities of the Lodge i.e. kitchen, toilets, showers and common room. We also have a Stone Cottage (max. 2 people) and a Pod (max. 3 people) as glamping possibilities. Peg's Mini-Market is only 100 metres away. So, although you are in a tranquil rural location you should want for nothing! We have plenty of camping space available on our fully serviced Camping Site.
I stayed in the hostel in a single room while lone walking in West Cork. The facilities were fantastic, the room, kitchen and shower area were spotlessly clean and well equipped. The location is fantastic and the backdrop of mountains is beautiful. Daniel and Jamie were fantastic hosts, knowledgeable about the surrounding area, and kind. They obviously have a passion for, and enjoy, what they do. It was a joy to see them managing the site with their young children in tow and making it all seem so effortless. Well done guys!!

Donegal Boardwalk Resort features 27 premium fully self-catering three bedroom villas, each sleeping up to 6 people. Resort facilies include all weather tennis/ five a side courts, two children's playgrounds, Hooked bar & restaurant, along with diret beach access via a wonderful 1.1km wooden boardwalk which lends the Resort its name.
Just returned from a 6 night stay. Donegal Boardwalk Resort is in a class of its own. The houses are absolutely fantastic and spotlessly clean. The complex is extremely well managed and very very clean. About a 10 minute walk will bring you to the stunning boardwalk which links up to the beach. Carrigart is very limited with places to eat but a few miles up the road you have Downings which has a great choice of restaurants. The only negative from this trip is that Hooked the on-site restaurant/bar was not open in the evenings while we were there and there was no set schedule as to when this would be. George the on-site supervisor was extremely helpful as always. Highly recommend

Steeped in history, Drumhalla House was originally built in 1789 by Dr Knox of Lifford. The house and grounds have now been beautifully restored by the present owners and offer luxury self catering holiday accommodation. The House offers superior holiday accommodation and is available for hire as a complete entity or as individual properties and holiday homes.
We are a group of 15 old college friends (for 56+ years) who like to get together every year in a large and well-equipped house, and Drumhalla House was perfect. As we weren't getting married, we could only get five nights (Mon - Fri) but it was well worth it. We took all three parts of the main house and enjoyed the comfortable sitting rooms, well-equipped kitchens, and restful bedrooms. The setting is spectacular, with ready access to a secluded beach, and an invigoratng walk along the shore to Rathmullan and its pubs and cafes. The grounds are immaculate and the local manager Damian was very helpful with questions and suggestions. Highly recommended.
