This compilation is not overly inclusive nor is it too limited. A sensible price range is represented, as well as a good variety of different style lodgings (Farmhouse B&B, Guest Houses, Castles, etc.) These are the places you want to stay in while visiting Ireland. Descriptions of the rooms, furnishings, views, history and proprietors are succinct and accurate. Cross-reference with other guides and use Sawday's recommendations as a stamp of approval -- you won't go wrong.

This is must use resource for those who want to stay in a charming Irish home with a few more amenities. A place which is just a step above a regular Bed and Breakfast.

If you want your own bathroom, a little bigger room, a little nicer bed, a little prettier setting and hosts who are serious about the hospitality they provide - - this is your reference. Each home has an entire page with a picture and a very good backgrounder on the accomodation which typically includes detailed information about all the facilities, pricing, local attractions and a nice note about the proprietors.

It is similar to the "Friars' Guide to New Zealand Accomodation for the Discerning Traveller."
