    Ballyjamesduff in Cavan

    Re: Ballyjamesduff We left this area about 2 years ago though we were not living in Ballyjamesduff itself but a nearby village. Personally I hated the place, full of pubs, 1 restaurant (Chinese) 2 small centra type shops and that's it. I would recommend avoiding the place at all costs! As...

    House rental france

    It really depends on what you are looking for...I find Pierre et Vacances very expensive but ideal if you want activities for children. I have used www.abritel.fr and www.homelidays.com which I have found to be excellent, my preference is with abritel. Another thing to bear in mind is the "frais...

    Just another little bit of info to pass on that I received from an agent in the south of France..avoid purchasing properties during the summer months as prices are inflated by up to 10%. Apparently when all the tourists are around property owners see the opportunity to cash in..I know of one...

    Tv3 Overseas Property Show

    I watched it for the first time last night and had I not known the title of the programme I could easily have mistaken it for a Harry Corry (or similar ) advert which had been accidently replaying itself...quite an extensive range of bed linen on display!

    Excellent Ryanair Customer Service

    No I double booked myself, they rang me the day before I was flying and said that they had 2 bookings in my name and were refunding the most recent booking which was 200 euro dearer than the original flight I had booked.

    Excellent Ryanair Customer Service

    I just thought I would share with you all my recent positive experience with the Ryanair Customer Services (there's a sentence I never thought I would use!) 1. I booked flights but used an incorrect first name - called the customer service number and had it changed free of charge. 2...

    Estate Agents and DAFT

    Daft charge about 80/90 euro and you can put up photos. The advert will remain on the site until it is sold though you will be asked to renew it after 90 days if memory serves me correctly. Estate agents will charge between 1 - 2%.+ Vat + advertising costs. I was really pleased with response...

    Races at Fairyhouse

    Sorry but I gave the wrong website above:o It should be www.dunboynecastlehotel.com and from my experience far superior to either the Ardboyne or Newgrange, with much nicer surroundings, can't comment on hotels in Ashbourne though. Dunboyne has a few pubs worth going to; Bradys or Slevins would...
