Choosing guesthouses in Ireland means opting for a one-of-a-kind accommodation. The guesthouse experience is like no other because it allows you to be independent while still offering high levels of service and luxury. Guesthouses are available throughout Ireland. From modern Georgian mansions in Dublin to quaint countryside cottages, choosing a guesthouse ensures that your visit is one to remember.
The majority of guesthouse accommodation choices are privately owned and share some similarities with bed and breakfast properties. However, the guesthouse experience can provide enhanced independence, particularly if you choose farmhouse guesthouses or decide to seek lodgings in the guesthouse of an estate. With these options, you may be able to have an entire house to yourself, granting you unrivaled privacy and luxury. Unlike many upscale hotels in Ireland, guesthouses may not offer round the clock service. You may have to make an appointment to check in so that the staff can be certain to accommodate you. Most guests happily forego 24 hour a day service in exchange for the peace and tranquility of a guesthouse.
Modern Georgian mansions are found throughout Dublin and other cities. The venerable Clifden Guesthouse is a noted choice that features ensuite rooms that can accommodate up to four guests. Another excellent modern Georgian choice is Staunton’s on the Green. It features amenities that are akin to a fine hotel, but in a smaller and more personalized atmosphere.
If you’re looking for a privately owned property that has the spirit of a bed and breakfast but offers a bit more privacy, take a look at some of the farmhouse guesthouses. Found throughout Ireland’s gorgeous countryside, many of these privately owned properties are convenient to fishing, hiking, golfing and other outdoor activities. Moreover, many guesthouses in the countryside are surprisingly close to urban centers. A short drive puts guests within easy reach of shopping, dining and attractions.
Many guesthouses in Ireland have long and storied pasts. Whenever possible, the owners of these properties have worked to preserve the old world style of the home. Nonetheless, these charming guesthouses rarely shirk on the modern amenities. Most have luxurious bedding, flat screen televisions, WiFi and telephones. However, you can also find guesthouses that truly let you escape the modern day if such is your wish.
For the independent explorer, a guesthouse may be an ideal choice. Browse the offerings to select the perfect accommodation in any corner of Ireland.
