Tours Pace: This is a well paced and expertly planned tour. The driving days are of a reasonable length, with frequent stops offering splendid photo opportunities. Hotels: Modern hotels like the Europa in Belfast, contrast with the historic charm of Ballygally Castle Hotel with its antique furniture and resident ghost. The Blarney Golf Resort is set amongst 170 acres in the beautiful Shournagh Valley. Please Note: In some parts of Ireland, the remote nature and limited seasonality means hotels are often more basic, modest and simpler in style than Insight hotels elsewhere in Europe, especially in the larger or capital cities. These properties are typically family-run establishments and have completely individual character - which is part of their attraction. The key attribute of these properties is their easy access to the wonders of the beautiful countryside and more remote towns and villages.
