Customer Rating:      Summary: Most Helpful travel book on ireland Comment: We stayed at one of the nicest places we have ever stayed at, thanks to this book. Pick out a B&B, check out the web site, give them a call, then go. We are going back!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great Little Book.....Great Price! Comment: I own several guidebooks on Ireland. This is the best book I've found so far on B&Bs. It is very comprehensive. I found the recommendations to be more thorough and offer a wider range of room rates than the Frommer guides. I think if you use this book and consult the forums on tripadvisor.com, it's really all you'll need to plan your own self-guided tour of Ireland.(I recommend a Michelin map as well) It's more than worth the price, will pay for itself over and over.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Bed & Breakfast Ireland Comment: So far, from what I've read, it seems to cover a lot of territory and is very helpful with booking a B&B.
Customer Rating:      Summary: I got the wrong edition but... Comment: I was going for the 2004 ed but ended up with the 2002 edition that being said, The descriptions seem to provide a clear idea of what a person can expect from the rooms in terms of amenities and really exceeds in allowing a person to compare B&Bs against each other because you'll find great variances in price. Also listing dates of operation is a great help. The acoomdations are arranged by area but a great update would to include nearby attractions or sights. I know these 25 B&Bs are near Killarney but how many are on the road to Clare or next to the national park? I'll see if it's worth the money this November when I go to Ireland.
UPDATE:
Well I've been to Ireland and back and my conclusion is
When push came to shove, and I needed to make an unscheduled stop, this book failed me.I can't remember exactly where we were but we were on the west coast below the Shannon River, the book didn't help because most places were closed. We stopped in a town that was listed in the book, but a curator at the museum in town said that in no uncertain terms should we stay in town because it was a bad place at night so I ended up asking where to stay, and got an excellent recommendation of Odell's B&B which was in the next town toward the coast but east of Ballybunion. This book was helpful making plans before we left, but not so good in the field.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Bed and Breakfast Ireland Comment: Very informative when planning our trip to Ireland. Will be using this for our stays throughout Ireland.
