Ireland is located in northwestern Europe, to the west of the United Kingdom, the North Atlantic Ocean, and the Irish Sea. It is a land steeped in history but not particularly with historical marvels. Ireland is known for its misty green countryside, its culture and tradition (including legends and folklore), and its warm-hearted and friendly people.
Ireland offers a comprehensive selection of guesthouse accommodation. Many of the guesthouses are akin to smaller hotels. Guesthouse accommodation often boast home cooking as their uniqueness. The traditional Irish breakfast with freshly baked brown bread has often provided enough sustenance to see many a tourist through the day.
The self catering category of accommodation covers a variety of premises in urban and rural areas, ranging from modern bungalows, old converted houses, 'semi-detached' two-storey houses to group schemes of purpose-designed units..
