IRELAND'S BLUE BOOKCOUNTRY HOUSES, HISTORIC HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS

Thinking about a short break or holiday vacation and looking for something out of the ordinary and not too sure how to put it together? This section of our website is dedicated to offering some interesting suggestions and tips to tailor your itinerary so that you can enjoy the perfect holiday.

From visiting some of Ireland's many monastic sites for those in search of their souls; a fishing tour for the quiet people; a golf itinerary for the golfing fanatics and even an unusual mountain itinerary for the fit and hardy. All have one common theme – a Blue Book property to stay in as part of your trip.

You can always use a combination of any of the above themes. Some of our itineraries are still under construction so any useful tips or suggestions are welcome.
