B&B pricing for single

Husband, adult daughter and I are considering a trip to Ireland this March. A recent post mentions that pricing of B&Bs is per person, about 30 euros pp. Could we get 2 rooms for 3 people for 100 - 120 Euro? Don't mind sharing a room with daughter but think we will need 3 beds to be comfortable. thanks for help. I was in the middle of planning a trip to California when I checked and found we can fly to Ireland for only $100 more!

You should have no trouble getting the two rooms for 3 people at around 110-120 Euro. Go on the Town and Country Homes web site or just Google " B&B Ireland" and and you will be able to search hundred of B&B's. March is not the High season so you should be able to have the pick of the lot. When you see a rate posted the single supplement rate will be for the single room. Have fun

At least in the UK, B&B charge per person. If they charge 30 euro per person, they shouldn't charge you more than 90 for three. In fact, many provide a small discount for 2 people in a room, so those two should be charged a little less, say 28 euro per.

You shouldn't have any problem finding what you need in March. Just do some research: when you arrive, call B&B's a day in advance. I have stayed at several that had a single room and others that had what they call 'family rooms.' Buy an Eircom Phone Card (the kind with the I/C chip on the card).

When I asked for my daughter & family Marjorie, at BrigOwn B&B in Ballina said she could make a 'package deal:' her B&B has 1-double, 1-twin double and 1-single.

Don't buy vouchers! You can probably do better with cash; and many B&B owners don't like to take vouchers.

If you fly into Shannon, I recommend Rose Cottage B&B for your first night stay. Ask for the family room on the ground floor (it's away from the Pub). They checked us in at 9:30 AM when we got there from the airport and we took about a 3-hour nap to get over our jetlag.

BTW
I don't know about off-season but you may have to pay 35 Euro pps at most B&B's in 2006.

Our plans have changed and we will not be able to do this trip this spring. We hope to do this trip in the next year or two.
Thanks for the info.
