Homestays
Our program offers accommodation at more than 1,700 private homes located in every part of Ireland. Over 1,400 are members of the Town & Country Homes Association and 300 are with the Irish Farmhouse Holidays Association. All homes offer private bathroom facilities and a full Irish breakfast and are inspected regularly to maintain high standards. With so many homes to choose from, you should not experience problems in finding places to stay unless you are heading to a town where a festival is taking place.
UPGRADE TO HOTELS
You will receive our Go-as-you-Please hotel listing with your final documents so that you may choose to stay in any of the featured properties by paying the applicable supplement to the hotel.
Hotels
CIE Tours features over 100 hotels strategically located all around Ireland so that you can plan a touring vacation or stay in one region. This program offers first class (3*) hotels with a variety of old-world country inns and modern hotels. All hotels feature restaurants, bars, lounge facilities and many have leisure centers. Guestrooms have private baths or showers, TVs, hair-dryers and other comforts.
SUPERIOR & DELUXE STAYS
Your hotel listing includes many hotels where you can upgrade by paying the supplementary charges listed in your hotel directory. Famous hotels such as Ashford and Dromoland Castles are included but may only be booked once you are in Ireland.
Dublin Visit
Dublin is an extremely popular destination. As there are no country homes or farms in Dublin, the small number of city homes book up very quickly. Most of the Dublin hotels on our program require a supplemental charge to be paid directly to the hotel. If you wish to incorporate a Dublin stay into your vacation, consider prebooking our Dublin at Leisure package for a 2-night stay or individual nights.
