We did a 10 classic trip planned by Austin, to see as much as we could. We stayed mostly near the coast and had an amazing time! Some of our favorite spots were the Giants Causeway, Dunluce Castle. The Cliff's of Moher and The Dingle Peninsula.

We did a 10 classic trip planned by Austin, to see as much as we could. We stayed mostly near the coast and had an amazing time! Some of our favorite spots were the Giants Causeway, Dunluce Castle. The Cliff's of Moher and The Dingle Peninsula.
We started talking and planning this trip with Austin in January and visiting Ireland in September. The summer crowds had died down and we got to enjoy not being rushed or waiting in lines. We were in constant contact with Austin. At one point we added 2 nights in order to see Northern Ireland and Austin was able to adjust the entire itinerary to meet our request. We're so glad we added northern Ireland! This was an amazing trip and wonderful experience and I would love to go back someday!
Hotel Reviews
A little impersonal. We checked in via a key pad. There's a bar directly below the hotel. Although that's convenient, it was an all night party and mostly young people. Fun atmosphere but a little impersonal.
Location
This hotel is located right in the city. Down side is we had to park in a neighborhood and drag our bags a few blocks.
Serendipity House Guesthouse
Derry
Very welcoming, comforting and friendly staff.
Location
We were able to walk to dinner and the Peace Bridge.
Staff
The staff was very friendly and welcoming.
After a very cold cloudy drizzling day out at the Cliffs of Moher and the Aran Islands, we checked into this charming, welcoming, comfortable B and B. They knew who we were when we walked in. Called us a cab to take us to the pubs. Provided the most delicious breakfast. We had the French toast. Very kind and friendly family.
Dingle Harbour Lodge B&B
Dingle Town, Co. Kerry
When we arrived the receptionist was nothing but rude. She told us we were at the wrong hotel and that we didn't have a reservation. Her coworker was able to find the reservation for us. Then she put down the wrong room numbers for our breakfast reservation the next morning.

The hotel looked beautiful in the pictures but it's located right in a busy town. We had to pay $26 to park on a car port. Dragging our luggage several blocks. Our room was small and very hot and stuffy. The bathroom is tiny.
