Most Helpful travel book on ireland
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
We stayed at one of the nicest places we have ever stayed at, thanks to this book. Pick out a B & B, check out the web site, give them a call, then go. We are going back!
Great Little Book.....Great Price!

I own several guidebooks on Ireland. This is the best book I've found so far on B & Bs. It is very comprehensive. I found the recommendations to be more thorough and offer a wider range of room rates than the Frommer guides. I think if you use this book and consult the forums on tripadvisor.com, it's really all you'll need to plan your own self-guided tour of Ireland.(I recommend a Michelin map as well) It's more than worth the price, will pay for itself over and over.

Bed & Breakfast Ireland: A Trusted Guide by Elsie Dillard
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
"Trusted" is the key word here. My family has traveled to Ireland three times since 1999 and we always bring the most recent Elsie Dillard Guide with us. It is the only B & B guide you need for travel anywhere in Ireland. Competitors, like Frommers or Frodors, are aimed more at the tour bus trade, not independent travelers like ourselves. The author stays at the recommended establishments and gives accurate evaluations of each. We've never been disappointed.
All of the Recommendations I took from this book were GREAT!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
And contrary to another review, the auther DOES list more than one B & B per town. We used this book almost exclusively in booking a 14 day vacation, and we were never disappointed. The authors notes and reviews are spot on and reliable. There were no "surprises"; if she said a host took Visa, they did, if she said they didn't, they didn't. The very first recommendation we followed (Cloch na Scith in Spiddal, Co. Galway) was so well described that I felt instant recognition with the house and the owner who did - just as the author said - offer the warmest welcome in Ireland. Each recommendation was just as terrific and when we could not book in a desired house, as in Adare, the hosts of those houses made excellent, comparably-priced recommendations for us - and by the way, the author lists B & B's of varying rates, to suit every budget. Without exception, the hosts presented in this book were warm, friendly, professional and "vacation makers". I feel completely comfortable recommending ANY of the author's recommendations to anyone else preparing to visit Ireland...THIS BOOK is the one you want to work from. Highly Recommend.
