Karen Brown's Ireland: Charming Inns & Itineraries (Karen Brown's Country Inn Series)

Rating:
Summary: Great guide -good nontouristy itineraries, inns, and website
Review: This book was excellent -- I used this as my primary guide for my husband/my 1st 10 day trip to Ireland -- provided itineraries that weren't tourist traps and good quality inns that had service and atmosphere -- also, the website was great and the authors responded to emails with a day -- very informative -- just use a good travel map rather than the book for specific directions, especially on the Youghall to Kinsale -- will use her guide when we go to Italy next year.

Summary: Everything was exactly as described
Review: We used the book to pick B&Bs for our first trip to Ireland. Each accomodation was exactly as described and delightful. The directions were accurate and very helpful for first time visitors. I would not hesitate to use another Karen Brown guide and have recommended it to several friends.

Rating:
Summary: Inns are superb and Itineraries fairly good
Review: You won't go wrong with any of the lodging choices here. They are all wonderful and described quite well. The itineraries are fine; but you may want another book as well to help in that area.
