If we've given a link to a B&B, we recommend it. It should be easy to spot the ones we don't recommend.

Pricing given in either US dollars or Euros depending on our whim.

We started this trip with B&B reservations for the majority of the first two weeks and cottages for 3-5 nights everywhere else. B&Bs are everywhere in Ireland, and chances are good you'll find one unless there is a special event. Finding accommodations online is easy and the ratings are fairly accurate. The reservations when you arrive and depart are good for peace of mind and lower stress.
