Day 1. Welcome to Dublin!
Collect your rental car and spend the first two nights of this vacation in Kilkenny at the Aspect Hotel.
Check-in - The Hoban Hotel
Day 2. Kilkenny
Tour the ancient city of Kilkenny that is now a great tourist attraction filled with bustling crowds, brightly colored store fronts and an effervescent atmosphere. The streets are lined with charming pubs and restaurants along with boutiques for souvenir shopping. Stop by the Kilkenny Castle for a taste of history and maybe enjoy a leisurely picnic on the grounds for lunch.
Day 3. Ireland Bed & Breakfast
The next two nights will be spent with open Irish Bed & Breakfast vouchers. Choose from hundreds of properties throughout Ireland. It is highly recommended to book your stay prior to your departure date to ensure you are accommodated at your first choice Bed & Breakfast.
Check-in - Ireland Bed and Breakfast
Staying in an Ireland Bed and Breakfast offers travelers the complete flexibility of creating their own itinerary. You must select your accommodations ahead of time. To ensure the best availability, it's recommended that you pre-book your B&Bs as far in advance as possible. Enjoy your choice of accommodations from small towns to quaint villages to countryside manors.
All Irish B&B's pride themselves on providing their guests with a fresh, home-cooked breakfast each morning and quality accommodations that cater to every need. Draw on the local knowledge, personal touch and warm welcome of your Irish hosts. Learn about all the best local restaurants, pubs, shops, attractions and activities. Your hosts specialize in the best services available from golf to walking tours of the area, to adventure breaks and much more.
Why Stay in a B&B?
- Most bed and breakfasts are owned by the B&B operators themselves, who usually live on the premises. It's natural to expect that B&B operators who live in their own B&B's will bring a different perspective to the job.
- At B&B's, "customers" are truly guests, and it shows. The B&B owners will gladly help you find the best restaurant in town, the best pubs, point you to the best tourist attractions and local amenities and much much more. Many B&B's depend on word-of-mouth recommendations.
Combine those two factors and it's easy to see why B&B owners go out of their way to make sure your stay provides some great memories of Ireland.
*B&B check-in is between 3:00pm and 6:00pm..
