Just returned home from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Although some of our B&B experiences were stellar, others were lackluster or even irritating. We found it easier to bargain hunt at hotels/motels during this recession than to look a homeowner in the eye and ask for a lower B&B rate. Which brings me to CityNorth Hotel: a terrific value at 59 euros/night for 2 adults - no b'fast. Its location was perfect for our AM visit to Bru na Boinne (Newgrange) and for returning our rental car to the airport in the PM. We were treated to a serendipity at CityNorth: an Irish Dance competition for youngsters in their ballroom. Please feel free to take a break from B&Bs and treat yourself to a luxury night at a sharp price.
