Dean did an outstanding job developing our Ireland itinerary and finding great places to stay (with excellent breakfasts!). I loved having the various options laid out for each section of our trip. No glitches except the weather- which we were well prepared for and was quite normal for the Irish springtime. When my husband needed a doctor visit Dean’s team quickly gave us options for urgent care near our hotel and that worked very well.

Great hotel, comfortable and very happy with breakfast included. Right by tram line, railway station, and hop on- hop off bus stop.

Best hotel on our trip. Very elegant, with a spacious room . We loved the separate tub and shower and having two bathroom sinks. Lovely view of the springtime garden and terrific breakfast. Plus it’s in a great location and the National Park is stunning. The hotel restaurant was also great.

The Galmont Hotel & Spa
Galway

Apparently the spa is great, but we didn’t use those amenities. Our room was a tiring trek from the lobby, using two elevators, and difficult to drag our luggage on carpets. We asked to switch rooms because the first one had opaque windows that when opened looked out on a garbage area. The breakfast was good and the location was good.

Vaughans Lodge Lahinch

This hotel was good, with a comfortable bed. The tub was so narrow it was hard to get out of it. The restaurant was closed one night. We had a bit of trouble getting the heat turned down. Nice staff.
