Ireland
What better way to travel the beautiful countryside of Ireland than in a campervan? Vanderlust offer rental of campers and motor homes so you can enjoy the country at your leisure.
Right on the edge of the Burren, this is a four-storey medieval tower house that has been sensitively restored, but doesn't lack the mod cons - including a water bed. And it doesn't come at a king's ransom. If you really want to feel the mysticism of a place like the Burren, this is the place to stay.

Forget Dublin and head to the west. I stayed at Ivory Lodge in 2005 and again in 2006. It was a great base for my stay. Very close to Bunratty Castle, Drumoland Castle, Quin abbey and some of the other historical delights Clare has to offer. Not to mention some great local pubs. Ivory Lodge is half an hour for Limerick, an hour and a half from Galway, and an hour from the Cliffs of Mohr by car. And to top it off the owners are very friendly, serving good breakfasts and clearly taking pride in their home. I'd thoroughly recommend it.
Ivory Lodge B&B, Drumline, Newmarket-on-Fergus, County Clare.
