My husband and I had a fabulous trip to Ireland and Scotland thanks to my specialists for each country, Claire and Justine. They discussed our wish list with us to create a perfect excursion. We are foodies and wanted to see all the places that make each country special and they delivered a perfect itinerary. We wanted to stay in unique venues that included great food and convenient locations and that's exactly what we got. We also wanted to be independent, yet get see all the sites so we traveled by rental car, train and tour buses depending on what would be best for each location. We definitely feel we got to know each country and all their wonderful food, history and beautiful landscapes. I never could have put together a plan on my own as amazing as this trip. Both specialist were there to help with any questions and information along the way, so we always had support throughout the journey. THANK YOU Claire and Justine!

Hotel Reviews
Castle Hotel
Dublin

The service was great and the room clean and an comfortable. There were two different choices for breakfast - continental and full service menu and both restaurants were good with friendly service. It is conveniently located in Dublin on the bus line which is easier to get around than driving and parking a car. It was a unique and fun place to stay.

Rivermount House
Kinsale

Wonderful B&B with amazing views and gourmet breakfast. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The staff are very friendly and the service was great. It's a bit out of town, but worth the few km/mile drive.

One Devonshire Gardens - Hotel du Vin
Glasgow

What a great place to stay in Glasgow. The service is great and our room was beautiful and comfortable. If you love old architecture of grand old homes, you'll love Hotel du Vin. There's a lovely small bar and restaurant that was perfect after a day of touring. The gourmet breakfast in the morning was awesome.
