B&B of the Year - The Stop, Galway
How cult can you get? However you assess cult status, The Stop tops it, and then some. Russ and Emer's modest house betrays their gallerist backgrounds with the precise and perfect placing of every object, and the result is some sort of feg shui hospitality heaven. The Stop B&B
Hotel of the Year - Inchydoney Island
Every time we tell someone our Inchydoney story – that we were at a wedding reception in the hotel and the waitress asked us how we would like to have our lamb cooked – people shake their heads in disbelief: food cooked to order, at a wedding?! Impossible! But it wasn't impossible, and the lamb turned out to be perfectly cooked – medium-rare – and utterly delicious. Inchydoney just gets better and better, year after year.
