Budgets

If you are extremely frugal, it is just possible to tour the Republic of Ireland for €30–35 a day if camping or €50 a day in hostels. This is an absolute minimum, and assumes you self-cater and stay away from fast food. Since B&Bs will cost from €35 (per person sharing), and you will also have to buy an evening meal and food during the day, €80 is a more realistic absolute minimum daily budget for B&B travellers. If you are staying in hotels and eating out you might just get away with €150 per day each if you share a room. A double room in a modern hotel during the summer will cost around €130. A single room will not be much cheaper. At smaller, usually older, hotels you may find double rooms from €80 or so.

Post, phones and internet

Post

The rural post office network is clinging on in rural Ireland although opening hours are often short and sometimes only a couple of days a week. On most days you will pass through at least one small town with a post office: look for a ‘Post’ sign on a green background.
