Blissful Bed and Breakfasts Co Clare

I've decided to treat myself to a blissful bed and breakfast in Co. Clare.  Leaving all the drudgery of daily living behind with nothing but a hold-all of what I might need for the next few days…

My idea of a blissful bed and breakfast is primarily a beautifully dressed bed that promises an indulgent, undisturbed nights sleep, perhaps with the sound of waves breaking on shore nearby or my favourite… no sound at all, save the signing of the birds in the morning.

Why a blissful B&B?

In a blissful bed and breakfast, I have nothing to do and all day to do it.... I can wander around a lovely garden that somebody else weeds, waters and prunes. Browse through those coffee table books or perhaps go out to dinner in a local pub or restaurant with lacy pillows, crisp sheets and floral duvet beckoning you back later on....

And while I try, seriously I do try, to create a pleasant breakfast 'a deux' (on Sundays at least) with a nicely laid table, I really can’t be doing with rolled butter balls. Freshly squeezed orange juice, maybe, but stewed fruit compote with local organic yogurt not to mention warm, freshly made brown bread and fruit scones, not a chance! And of course any notions of diets go straight out the window with a tempting and extremely naughty cooked breakfast, oh go on I’ll have two sausages! Breakfasts like this should come with a warning not about your waistline, but your bank account, because once I have checked out the cute pottery, the homemade jams, real honeycombs and fresh breads, I am off to the nearest farmer's market or craft shop to bring it all home with me.

A stay in a blissful bed and breakfast reminds you that life is for living and way too short for taking short cuts; so go on give yourself a treat and indulge in a short break at one of Ireland’s many bed and breakfasts.
