What our clients say about this program:
"I have recommended your services to friends and colleagues, and I thought that the trip I took with my Mother was excellent! It was helpful to know that you had experience with the properties where we stayed, and they were arranged in a way that made travel relatively easy (to the extent that it can be on the roads in Ireland!) from point to point. There was not more than a couple of hours of driving each day, although we did fit in the Cliffs of Moher, and two ferry transports between Glin Castle and Ballyseede.

If I have any plans to travel to that area again, I would certainly book through Lynott." --- Myra Frick 


Bed and Breakfasts, Farmhouses and Country HomesIrish Bed and Breakfasts, Farmhouses
and Country Homes

Experience the Irish way of life and get to know the friendly Irish by staying as an honored guest in their own homes. We have more than 1000 B&B's in Ireland, north and south - anything from a contemporary home in major towns and cities to an intriguing 400-year old granite farmhouse with a thatched roof in the countryside. There are too many to list here, but we have them in almost every town and village in all 32 counties. From all Ireland bed and breakfast - from Dublin B&Bs to Killarney B&Bs. Our Ireland B&B program features an extensive book with pictures, addresses and phone numbers is included with your travel documents. In many homes, the bedrooms each have private baths, for an additional charge of $4 per person per night. Dublin properties require a supplement of $17 paid to the hostess. Look at our Town and Country B&B's here and our farmhouse B&B's here.

Why use vouchers? Play it by ear.
1. If you would like the ease of traveling without having to carry cash to pay for accommodation, or visiting an ATM on a daily basis while traveling, you may wish to purchase our vouchers. You simply decide each evening where you will be heading the next day and phone ahead for a reservation.
2. Our vouchers are the same price for all B&B's, or all 1 color hotel category hotels on our list. If you were to search for the individual prices of accommodation, you would find that they vary greatly.

3. You pay a rate guaranteed in US dollars - no exchange rate fluctuations to worry about.

4. Reservations in advance. We do that. If you are a large party, definitely book your accommodation as soon as possible. B & B's are family homes with a number of bedrooms set aside for the guests. Some will only have three guest bedrooms so finding B & B accommodation for 7 people at the height of the season will be difficult if you don't make your reservations quickly!

5. Most people choose open vouchers. Should problems arise finding accommodation when in Ireland, contact any Tourist Information Office, or seek advice and assistance from your B&B host/hostess. She/he will assist in booking subsequent night/nights for the cost of a telephone call.
b&b iRELAND
6. We do not recommend purchasing B&B vouchers in Dublin. An inexpensive hotel would be more readily available. Choose from both Town and Country Homes and Irish Farm Homes.

Hotels, Castles and Manors
We have the widest selection - a choice of over 300 hotels, castles and manors, all with private bath in every corner of the Emerald Isle. We give you a chance to savor the special charms of smaller villages as well as larger cities. The Green category includes 3 and 4 star hotels, and guesthouses. Some are Georgian, some Victorian, but all offer a warm welcome and a personal touch. The Blue, Gold and Red categories include hotels, manors and castles, from 3 to 5 star. These include hidden and off-the-beaten-path inns and hotels. Manors can be old-world style inns with a comfortable charm. Irish castles range from simple centuries-old fortresses to deluxe 5 star luxury resorts. This the finest collection of luxury hotels in Ireland.

Our accommodations are categorized based on price in color categories. We suggest that for maximum flexibility, you choose some of each. There is no minimum stay in any one category.

Malahide Castle Suggestion: If you are arriving into Dublin, stay in Howth, a quaint fishing village just outside the city, or in Malahide. Afternoon shopping, or visit Malahide Castle, the home of the National Portrait Gallery. Later, you might decide to take a stroll along the shore to gaze at the boats at sea.
