We've chosen over 200 special places to stay throughout Ireland, from north, south, east and west: small simple places to larger luxurious ones. B&Bs in fascinating family homes, hotels of all sorts; fishing lodges, keeps and castles; self-catering cottages, farms and seaside houses. Flourishing modern Ireland has not outgrown the hospitality for which she is known: her open-hearted people simply love sharing their conversation with all those who come to visit. Our guide opens doors onto the riches and eccentricities of this charming island.
New to this edition is our 'Ethical Collection', made up of owners who go the extra mile to make sure their business has a positive impact. Members of the Collection are awarded stamps, marked on their entry page, for their commitment to the community, the environment and to providing locally sourced or organic food.
Also new to the guide is the Travel Club symbol; it marks places offering extras and discounts to Sawday's Travel Club members. Membership costs only £25 a year and can save up to 20% off room prices, get you a free round of golf, bottle of wine or holistic spa treatment. Go on, treat yourself!
