Advantages: A noble and comparatively straightforward peak
Disadvantages: Clear weather desirable

Advantages: An astonishing depiction of the force of nature.
Disadvantages: None. Unless you're a useless driver.

The British Isles are both literally and metaphorically defined by the sea. It provides both a fearsome line of defence, and an almost limitless avenue for attack: Britain has succumbed to the 11th Century Normans, held off the 16th Century Spanish and wh ... Read review

Advantages: Ballybofey central location, family run, comfortable, excellent service
Disadvantages: parking on the street, no minibar in room

Advantages: Stunning scenery, good craic, not touristy

When you think of holidays in Ireland, what do you think of? The beautiful green farmlands of Tipperary, the dramatic peaks and lake-pools of the Ring of Kerry, angling in the River Shannon, or enjoying the craic in the vibrant capital city Dublin? All ... Read review

Come on Mr Gallagher?, give us some insider knowledge on pubs, hotels and restaurants in your home county. I'd be very happy as I go there on the odd occasion but there is so much change between trips that insider tips are needed to find the best places. by docrt
