I stayed in Brandon Hotel with wife and two kids at end of August last year. We got a good deal but it was a very disappointing experience. The family room was massive and the staff were great but that's about it. The breakfast was bland and the room was dated. There wasn't much to do in Tralee...

I live in Galway so feel free to ask for tips. We brought a 5 month old baby to Spain and it worked fine. Would you consider a holiday apartment? There are lots in Galway and some beautiful ones overlooking Galway Bay. All of the luxuries of home plus a bit of space but minus the hotel...

Seriously? That seems weird. Is this the same/similar show that was on in RDS lat year? I brought my kids to it and it was mediocre at best. Hopefully, The Citywest will be a better venue than the RDS.

Malaga is a city more so than a resort. I guess it depends on where you stay.

I stayed in the Hilton Back Bay which is across the street from the Sheraton. There is a frequent bus service to Wrentham from the hotels. Safe bet.

The Galway to Limerick line cost over €100million but only 95 people use it per day. The journey is quicker by car since the opining of the M19 motorway. Similarly, the M6 motorway from Galway to Dublin makes the journey by car less than 2 hours - without breaking the speed limit. The train...

My mother in law operates a B&B in the Galway. She has taken in a lodger every other week on a room only basis for 2 or 3 nights per week who was doing a night course in Galway. The lodger got a good deal, was able to leave personal stuff in a suit case at the house, and had her own key. It was...

I stayed at the Hilton Dublin Airport (it's about 5km from the airport, opposite Clare Hall Tesco!). The rate was €79 for a family room including parking and return transfer to the airport. After that, we kept our hands in our pockets. Wifi was €10, a beer was near €7, a club sambo was €9 etc...
