Ireland

The Emerald Isle enchants on many levels. Discover the romantic deep green countryside of Galway, the wild reaches of Donegal, and the towering Cliffs of Moher pummelled by great Atlantic breaks. Come for music and stories as lively as the hills are old, soak up the mellow pub atmosphere as you sip a pint of the black stuff, and everywhere you go, meet the friendliest folk. There’s something here for everyone: vibrant, cosmopolitan Dublin invites you to hit the literary trail, Limerick speaks to the country’s history and the silver sand beaches of Kerry are staggeringly beautiful. In our collection of special places to stay you’ll find charming cottages, generous B&B’s and spoiling hotels to help you delve a little deeper into this magical country.
