2014 Award Winners B&B OF THE YEAR 2014

The White Cottages B&B, Skerries, Co Dublin

What makes a great B&B? The best are lovely, friendly places to stay, with comfort, good food and interested hosts who anticipate their guests’ needs yet give them space – and who enjoy nothing better than helping their guests to explore the surrounding area.

If that area is North County Dublin then you’re in for a treat, both in the area itself – which is full of surprises - and for the pleasure of staying at this beautifully located and unselfconsciously stylish waterside B&B on the edge of Skerries, which is full of character and has magnificent sea views.

How often do you wake up to the sound of waves on the rocks outside your bedroom window? And it’s much more than a B&B, as they offer Afternoon Tea and even Lobster Lunches to both residents and non-residents by arrangement - now that’s style.
