2.0 out of 5 stars For any season this book is not very useful., February 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Irish Bed & Breakfast Book: Country and Tourist Homes, Farms, Guesthouses, Inns (Paperback)

I just arrived home from Ireland and this book does not contain enough information to be very useful. The authors do not cover every county or all of the larger towns in Ireland. I was informed that B&B owners had to pay to be included in the book. The book does not give many useful tips for traveling during the different seasons. The few B&B's included in this book that were open were first rate. If you plan to travel during the winter months call ahead to be sure that the B&B mentioned is open "off season." During spring and summer don't wait; call ahead to the B&B's mentioned and book your rooms especially in Dublin.

I found the Bed & Breakfast book I received from the Irish Tourist Board to be generally more useful than this book. I referred to it for a reality check but found the AA (the Irish equivalent of the AAA) more informative overall than the book.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Sullivan Holiday in Ireland, February 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Irish Bed & Breakfast Book: Country and Tourist Homes, Farms, Guesthouses, Inns (Paperback)

This book is authored by a couple of ex-b&b'rs. I t reads like a journal of thier vacation in Ireland. There are only a few b&b's mentioned and it seems like only the ones they visited. Much to my dismay the Sullivan's didn't visit Knock, so apparently it does not exist and neither do the B&B's. The only redeeming thing the book has going for it is that for the B&B's mentioned, it gives first hand directions.
