I have just returned from a week in Southwest Ireland with my son and two golfing friends. We had the great pleasure of staying three nights at the Tides Guesthouse in Ballybunion. I have had numerous golfing vacations in Ireland and Scotland, staying in five star resorts to B&B's, and this was the best. We booked our accommodations sight unseen... more

David greeted us with open arms and helped us with all of our itinerary and what was going on socially around us there. Very very helpful and accomodating. The guesthouse is pristine and the food is excellent. Very easy for traveling to the golf course and into town. Would do it again.!!!! Thanks David more
