  • Shared vs. Private Baths
    - Remember: MANY bed and breakfasts are equipped with shared baths. If this is a problem, request a private bath prior to making reservations

  • Special Activities and Packages
    - If for some reason you find yourself alone on a holiday, be sure to check with the local B&Bs about their activities. Many specialize in making everyone have a special time in their 'home away from home'. 'I'll be home for Christmas' doesn't say which home!!! Lots of owners have B&Bs because they have an empty nest syndrome - so not only will you receive happiness, but you will also bring sunshine into their lives!

  • Stay for More Than One Night
    - In planning your stay at a B&B, allow enough time to enjoy what the area offers, with some time for relaxation. Hosts appreciate a stay of more than one night for the opportunity to become acquainted, and provide help in seeing and doing what is of interest to the guest, without imposing on a tight schedule of time. You'll find a 2-night stay is more than twice as pleasant as a 1-night stay, and a 3-night stay more than 3 times better. Check web information for area activities and attractions in planning your time.

  • Tell Your Hosts About Special Diet Requirements
    - If you require a special diet, such as low sodium, or low fat; or if you are diabetic or hypoglycemic, please inform your hosts either when you make your reservation or upon your arrival so that they can plan to make your stay a healthier, more enjoyable visit.

  • Travel Vouchers May Not be Such a Good Idea
    - This tip is only about travel agents' vouchers when visiting Ireland. You will find when you visit your travel agent, he may recommend travel vouchers to pay for your B&B accommodations in Ireland. Travel agents will give you a tourist board B&B book that shows hundreds of B&Bs throughout Ireland that except vouchers.

    What they do not tell you is that these B&Bs also have a price in Euro, per person per night. Most of them are as cheap as if not cheaper than what you pay for the voucher system. In most cases, you have to buy 5- or 6-day vouchers - which are non-refundable. Most B&Bs have a 24-hours' notice no charge for a 1-night booking.

    Also (and most importantly) you pay the agent between 68 and 70 Euro per night for a voucher. The B&B only receives 48 Euro per night from the agent. Therefore, most B&Bs prefer cash bookings. If you have trouble finding accommodations (especially in high season) with your vouchers, it is because most B&Bs will accept a cash booking first. They will wait until the last minute before accepting the lesser voucher payment.

    For your own benifit, check out websites in Ireland and compare prices against what you are paying for the vouchers. You will always get deals, even in summer time, if you are staying 2 or 3 days in one place and you are paying in cash.
