Gertie is well known for her culinary skills and will ply you with fantastic food, while Pat has expert knowledge of the locality and its history, essential when planning your activities in this part of Ireland’s Ancient East. With many years of experience in catering and hospitality between them, the couple will give you a truly marvellous Irish welcome.
Many Irish B&Bs also offer themed and specialist holidays, whether you need somewhere to pack away your surf boards, fishing tackle, golf equipment or muddy walking boots, and even if you want to bring your pet with you.
The Happy Pig in Kenmare, County Kerry, for example, is a luxurious six bedroomed biker-friendly guesthouse located on the famous route comprising the Wild Atlantic Way and the Ring of Kerry. It has a huge covered area for motorbikes outside, kitted out like a small beer-garden. Host Irma Weeland has only one aim – for guests to feel at home and to leave feeling relaxed.
It is a similar story at Crowfield Country House B&B, run by retired professional hoteliers Sam and Patricia Ferguson in County Londonderry. The couple pride themselves in offering a relaxing break in their home and manicured riverside garden. Yet you are situated within easy striking distance of all the attractions of the famous Causeway Coastal Route – the Giant’s Causeway, Bushmills Whiskey Distillery, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, the Walled City of Derry~Londonderry and more.
The appeal of a B&B is that it’s an authentic Irish experience. It is something that every traveller appreciates and can’t wait to repeat.
