Looking for a place to stay in Ireland? Don't book a thing until you've looked through our list of recommended hotels and B&Bs.

From luxurious five-star piles to more affordable cottages and even a castle, we've worked with i-escape.com to find the very best the Emerald Isle has to offer.

If you're planning a chic city break, head to Dublin and the charms of the Dylan. It's not cheap, with double rooms starting from €240 a night, but the designer charm, slick suites and fabulous 'dylanbar' ensure it's worth every single penny.

For a more laidback trip, head to the countryside and the homely surroundings of Tankardstown country house in County Meath. Originally designed as a family home, owners Patricia and Brian Conroy had so many people wanting to stay, they decided to move out and hire the house out for weddings, parties and events. For smaller groups, they also let rooms in the nearby stable block.

If you like the idea of renting a whole house, Gatsby House in Ardara is a great place to base yourself when you're walking in the area. With five bedrooms, there's plenty of room for the whole family. Feeling indulgent? Owners Amanda Swanwick and Brendan Kirwan can arrange for a private chef to cater to your every whim during your stay.
