Hello! We are a family of 4 (children ages 9 and 6) taking our first trip to Ireland in April 2008. We will be traveling along the west coast from Westport down to Cork.
We are very confused trying to figure out B&B/Farmhouse accommodations. Most list a per person price, with many offering % discounts for children staying in a parent's room. Some have family rooms, some have only doubles. Here is where we get confused.
If a B&B has no family room, would they put us all in a double (and would there be room)? Are there typically full/queen beds in a room, or twins (if there are two full beds we could definitely fit)? Or would they put us in two rooms (and would there be an additional charge for another room)?
We would prefer to all stay in the same room if possible and if it keeps the cost down. Since we are traveling with small children, we would like to make our reservations in advance. We would appreciate advice from anyone who has been to Ireland with small children.
