Room descriptions B&B Accommodation

Room standards

In Ireland & UK B&Bs tend to place their bedrooms within three different categories:

1. Standard Bedroom (B&B)

This indicates that there is not a bathroom within the bedroom. In this case there will be shared bathroom facilities in the corridor. Usually there will be a wash hand basin within the room.

2. En-Suite Bedrooms (B&B)

This indicates that there is a private bathroom within the bedroom. This will always contain a WC and wash hand basin, plus a Shower and / or bath.

3. Deluxe (B&B)

The standard of B&B accommodation in Ireland is considered to be very high and deluxe rooms would be available in high end B&Bs and guesthouse accommodation. Deluxe rooms would often have additional furniture or Jacuzzis in the bathroom  check the description

Suites / Apartments

Suites and apartments are designed to provide a luxurious atmosphere, whilst away from home. They normally range from one to three bedrooms, with a separate lounge area and bathroom, and sleep two people per room. Some suites and all apartments also contain a kitchenette. We can also assist you in booking studio suites and apartments. These are the same as above but do not have a separate bedroom - all facilities, with the exception of the bathroom, are contained within one room.
