If you are planning on staying in Ireland for your holidays in 2012, to make your break as special as possible, pick up a copy of Ireland's Blue Book. The 2012 edition of Ireland’s Blue Book was launched on the 30th of November at the National Concert Hall and has everything you need to plan a fabulous break in Ireland.
The 2012 Blue Book will include a collection of all the finest accommodation and restaurants in Ireland. There are 42 historic hotels, country houses, and restaurants listed in the book. New additions to the Blue Book include Ballyfin Demesne in Co. Laois and Castle Leslie in Co. Monaghan. Ballyportry Castle in Co. Clare and Montalto Estate in Co. Down will also join the new Blue Book Private Rentals Collection.
Ireland’s Blue Book was founded in 1974 and is a premier collection of luxury Irish country house hotels, manor houses and castles. No two properties are the same, each offering its own unique atmosphere.
Vice-President of Ireland’s Blue Book John Brennan said, ‘We are delighted to welcome such beautiful and interesting additions to the collection. This year we are joined by very unique historical properties from the 15th, 16th, 18th and 19th centuries of Irish history. These houses and castles are all independently owned and reflect a diversity of style and character. They will offer visitors from home and overseas a truly magical experience.’
