Very special

I bought this book on recommendation from a couple I met in a lovely Bed & Breakfast which features in the book. Since buying it I have stayed in several places from the book and I have not been disappointed!The accommodation listed in the book is definitely true to the description given by the writer, who has stayed in each one recently - the houses beautiful, the locations superb, the breakfasts delicious and plentiful, and the hosts always friendly, helpful and interesting. The guide contains both accommodation accessable for people using public transport as well as those with their own transport.Don't be mislead by the title. 'Special Places' does not mean expensive places either. Also the back of the book contains little extra touches like words to local songs, place name meanings, indexes based on suitability for families, pets, etc. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone travelling around Ireland.

Really special

I purchased this book just before my family went to Ireland a few years ago. We chose several places from the book as places we'd like to visit, and they really lived up to their billing. We've taken our chances and stayed at bed and breakfasts all over Ireland on other visits. This book made it easy to find a beautiful spot to stay. Most of the B & Bs from the book didn't require more than a few nights notice, so our travelling experience was still just as spontaneous as if we hadn't made any plans at all. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is planning a travelling holiday in Ireland and who wants to stay at some truly special spots!
