Estimated cost per night, Ireland B&Bs?

For thirty-two days in May and early June of this year, we averaged 60 euros per room. Cork was a tad higher than Donegal so the number might be skewed slightly.

This was with no reservations, a reduction for asking, and paying cash. Otherwise it would have gone up another ten or twelve percent.

I have no idea if you'd get a reduction for taking two rooms of the innkeepers hands at one whack. You might, the economy is rough.

Single rooms are generally almost as expensive as the comparable double room in the B&Bs. A good estimate would be 35-40 euro pp/nite.

It gets progressively cheaper the farther north (and further from Dublin) that you go.

Sherry,

My friend and I leave in two weeks for our Ireland trip and we are staying almost entirely in B&B's ranging from Glendalough to all over the Dingle Peninsula. If you are looking for two single rooms in the same B&B, you might find your choices a bit more limited, as many of the B&Bs we looked at only had one single room (or none at all). If you're just looking for seperate beds for you and your travel partner, you can do what my friend and I did and book a twin room (one room, two twin beds). Most B&Bs have at least one twin room. Our average for two weeks worth of lodging in twin rooms in August is going to be 35 euros per person. I am staying an extra week after my friend heads back home and I will be paying significantly more for my single rooms during that time (up to 60 euros for one night on Inis Mor! Yikes!). So depending on your travel needs I'd say expect to pay anywhere from 35-60+ for your lodging.

I agree with the estimates of the responses you received. I just have a suggestion that worked so well for my husband and me on our trip to Ireland. Our third night found us in Dingle and we stayed at a guesthouse that had been recommended to us with a view of the Atlantic Ocean. From then on we stayed only in guesthouses and liked them better than B&B's. For the most part, the guesthouses cost the same amount as B&B's. We took a book with us that listed B&B's and guesthouses in Ireland and called ahead by a day to book our next room. We also travelled in June and had no problem. I believe that in order to qualify as a guesthouse, the owner must have a dining room and a minimum number of sleeping rooms. Check out the differences online. You may decide to spend some nights in a guesthouse.

You can also get a book of over 2000 b&b's in ireland from irish tourist bureau I think they are in New York/anyway/it lists the number of double and single rooms/location/price etc. and I think it is free I agree with previous posting that it will be probably hard to find 2 single rooms at the same B&B/you will be probably charged more for using a double room for a single person/my friends always shared rooms with single beds and never had a problem doing so
