Where to Stay

The choice of accommodation available in Ireland can be overwhelming. From modern hotels in or near city centers to haunted castles in the middle of nowhere. Most visitors prefer to stay in a traditional "B&B" (short for bed and breakfast) or a small guesthouse. There are also hostels for the budget traveller and, on the other end of the scale, some of the most luxurious country hotels you can imagine.

Accommodation 101 - What to Expect and What to Consider

Choosing accommodation for your stay in Ireland can be tricky. Visitors are faced with a host of options ... the choice is yours, but what should you consider? Unless you are pre-booking a tour you will have to decide how to spend your nights in Ireland. Of course a lot will depend on your budget. Let your About Guide Bernd Biege help you with the decision process.

Haunted Hostelries

For that special holiday feeling ... why not drop into a pub with its own ghost? Or even stay a night with things that go bump in the night? Ireland has a fair share of ghostly happenings and finding a haunted hostelry is not a difficult task. Add a dark night with rain lashing the window panes and you are sure to feel some shivers running down your spine.
