We’ve chosen over 240 special places to stay throughout Ireland, north, south, east and west: B&Bs in fascinating family homes, hotels of all sorts; fishing lodges, keeps and castles; self-catering cottages, farms and seaside houses. When that incomparable Irish mist lifts from the countryside, the varieties and eccentricities of the people and places of this small island emerge. We open doors onto these riches. Ireland’s bounding tiger has not left behind the age-old sense of spontaneous hospitality; these open-hearted people simply love sharing their space and their rich conversation with all who come to make genuine contact.
