From our guide to Ireland
Long before the age of steam, John’s ancestors carried Irish emigrants to America in square-rigged clippers. Clanmurry celebrates the brave beauty of these ships and their crews...
Renovating this fine Georgian stone coachhouse was a huge job and, with her practical sense and eye for detail, Catherine has done the three apartments beautifully, treasuring all the original features...
Dublin heaves with modern life, with pavement cafés and cosmopolitan buzz –- not surprising with hundreds of thousands of East Europeans now adding their vitality, and help, to Ireland's own. The economic boom after Ireland's entry into the euro-zone has settled down a bit (this book has over 70 places charging £70 or less for a double room with breakfast) but the extent to which the Irish 'hospitality' business is dependent on outsiders is astonishing. I was charmed by Latvians in Wicklow and by Poles in Dublin. Eighty per cent of hotel workers come from abroad.
