TripAdvisor names its Top 10 hotels and B&Bs in Ireland for 2019
A family-run four-star and a four-bed B&B have won some of TripAdvisor's top Irish awards for 2019
Donegal's Harvey's Point has been named the No.1 hotel in Ireland for 2019 in TripAdvisor's Travellers' Choice Awards.
The family-run four-star was voted Ireland's best hotel from 2013-2017, but slipped to No.2 behind the Killarney Park Hotel last year.
It now returns to the top spot for its 30th year in business.
“Words can hardly express the excitement and delight that we feel," said Managing Director and Donegal native, Deirdre McGlone, who credited the ranking to “our hugely dedicated team and Harvey’s Point hospitality family, each of whom plays their part in the Harvey’s Point Success story on a daily basis.”
TripAdvisor's 2019 awards also see Ballyfin named Ireland's No.1 luxury and small hotel, while Pax House in Dingle topped the rankings for best service, most romantic and best bargain hotel (its B&B rates start from €100 per night).
