Try looking at www.muckross.8m.com for a quality B&B in Killarney, one of Irelands most visited tourist spots.

If you are planning to see the Aran islands, the Burren, or the Cliffs of Moher, a stay in the Atlantic View B&B is defintely worth the stay. It is located in Doolin, Co. Clare. I stayed there at the beginning of Oct and the proprietors could not have been nicer.

We've booked through CIE tours-self driving tour. You pay an upfront amount and receive vouchers prior to your departure to use throughout ireland and no.ireland. You can also get your car rental as part of your pacakage. They provide you with a listing of all B&B's as well as a web link to see them prior to your departure. It's relatively inexpensive and if you want you can always upgrade to a castle or hotel.

We did a septre tour with vouchers. Would never do it again. Some of the nice places don't take the vouchers. If you do the math, you are better off to book your own flight, rental car, and pay as you go for lodging. By the way, I don't think Manors or Castles take the vouchers.

Maybe it's the time of year you go. We are paying $303 per person for 6 nights B&B and car rental. I think that is pretty good. We did find our flight elsewhere much cheaper. Through the company we went with you can pay extra with the voucher if you decide you want to stay at a hotel or castle. The B&B's we've checked out are great. However a good point is that it depends on what you want, the more expensive B&B's most likely are not in the voucher program.

We're also travelling in late March early April and are looking for a "not-too-outrageously-expensive" B&B in Dingle or Tralee for 3 nights.<BR><BR>Any suggestions on which town would be better? Any ideas on moderately priced B&Bs?

There are a couple of marketing groups in Ireland. Our favourite is Friendly Homes of Ireland. Nice old manor houses with character and usually high standards. Look at www.tourismresources.ie
