I'm going to Ireland and I'm searching for prices for B&B's. The prices seem quite resonable. There's really not much of a description and I was wondering if the rates usually include a breakfast. I've never stayed at one before, but I would assume breakfast is included since the name is bed & breakfast.<BR>Can anyone please help me on this?<BR>Thanks!

Sarah,<BR><BR>You're right - it means breakfast is included. Or it has been in all the B & B's I've stayed iin.

of cousre breakfast is included if was not it would just be called Bed.

Yes, you get breakfast and it will be substantial one, a cooked breakfast usually with (proper meaty) bacon and fried egg. You probably won't need or have room for lunch. A friend of mine asked if she could just have white of egg and the landlady was amazed and asked why. My friend mentioned cholesterol. "Och", said the landlady briskly, "We don't have any of that sort of thing in Ireland."

A nice B&B is $25.00 or less everywhere outside of DUblin proper. Look at the irish national tourist office site or townandcountry.ie

Those prices (25 pounds?) seem low to me...but maybe that's because I remember getting sooooo much for what you pay?

The price ranges I saw last November when I was looking was anywhere from 30 punts to 50, depending on where it was. Many of them charged per person (usually around 20pp) I stayed at some pretty bare bones places, but was perfectly content. They were clean, had private baths and of course, a real Irish fry. MMMMMM
