Guest Picks: Irish Bed-and-Breakfast Inspiration

Ireland’s misty hills and legends of leprechauns have fascinated me for ages. I have traveled twice to this gorgeous state, where I stayed in cozy bed and breakfasts in several distinct cities. Ireland’s citizens are friendly and their homes are as well, mostly decorated in a traditional fashion with nation rolls. Here are 20 ideas to deliver the sense of an Irish B&B for your baile (that is home in Irish). — Laura from JourneyChic
