Joy of traveling in Ireland is about absorbing lush scenery and the warming charm of the locals. Why would anyone choose to stay at an impersonal hotel? The intimate and home-like feeling of a bed and breakfast compliments a personal vacation, rather than leaving guests feeling that they just another source of money.
