Just back from a weekend Jaunt to Ireland. We flew Ryanair Eastmidlands to Shannon, £38 return (No hold luggage and online checkin).
We booked the Oakwood Arms at Shannon, this was mainly as our return flight was 09:30 Monday morning and we did not want to get up early to travel.
We booked it thru LATEROOMS.COM for 85 Euros a night for Double room with Buffet Breakfast.
Ireland seems to be pricey for Hotels, so this was not too bad (We do cheaper when we go Venice).
We had hired a Car so after picking that up it was just a 10 min Drive into Shannon and the Hotel.
First Impressions were very good, better than most of the reviews we had read.
Its a low level building on the edge of Shannon, not that there's much in the middle of Shannon, just seems to be a Housing Estate.
Checkin looks very smart and professional ...
Advantages: charming reasonably piced rooms and award winning food Disadvantages: can get busy
On a recent visit to Northern Ireland, I was lucky enough to be shown round by someone born and bred in Larne. It was on her suggestion that we paid a visit to the Londonderry Arms, a 3 star hotel with two restaurants in the charming and quaint harbour village of Carnlough. Carnlough is about 15 minutes drive north of Larne along the very picturesque coastal road otherwise known as the A8.

Advantages: Cheap Disadvantages: Decor isn't that nice.
Well!
Stayed here in July/August
Breakfast was fab, cooked or continental, basically a yum fry every morning! You have to pay extra for that though, but only about £6.
A room for one night is about £100 max.
In pictures I saw before i went, it looked very nice,
but the hotel is right on the road and its very noisy at night, i always thought i had left the window open,
though on the outside it looks very nice.
In the room itself, there are two beds, a tv with all the normal channels, two bedside tables, a hairdryer, a desk with 3 drawers, the tv side ontop of a chest of drawers with 3 drawers, two bathrooms,one with a shower and sink and one with a toilet and a bidet.
When you leave your room you are given a piece of paper and you have to hand your key in so obviously you dont run away with it or anything.
And upon arrival ...
