Every year I present awards for the “best of the best” in Ireland. From lodgings to restaurants to pubs. I am extremely particular about places that I personally recommend. Even more so for those receiving an award.
For 2011 I am pleased to announce the winners of the2011 Emerald Awards. Congratulations to all the winners!
There are some places that stand out during the year and then some hard decisions. For instance, Arthur's Lodge Wood won two awards - one for guesthouse of the year and another for breakfast. I could have given breakfast to someone else but theirs was just so outstanding they had to get two.
