Ireland’s Top B&B Has Been Revealed And The Finalists Aren’t Bad Either

Ireland’s B&B of the year for 2018 has been revealed and was unveiled by none other than B&B King and Queen, Daniel and Majella O’Donnell.

Gallows View B&B in Bunratty, Co. Clare took the award where cost of a room is only €40 per person including a savage Irish brekkie in the morning. 

“We have met many wonderful B&B owners while filming our B&B road trip series around Ireland, and are very aware and proud of the great work they do for Irish tourism,” said Daniel who presented the award to owner, Mary McKenna.

The Irish Independent is reporting that overseas visitors make up 90% of B&B guests in Ireland, a sector worth around €11m a year.

• Gallow’s View, Bunratty, Co. Clare
