England

Your trip begins with a flight to London, the UK’s 2,000-year-old capital. While you’re here, say hello to Big Ben and the River Thames, which bisects the city as it flows across England. Use the included rental car to venture out to your chosen B&B in the English countryside. Here are a few of the accommodations you can choose from:

• Hobbit Hole: About 90 minutes from London, on Herne Bay in Kent, this small bungalow has an enviable 5-star average on TripAdvisor. Amenities include free WiFi and a charming garden.
• Racecourse Farm: A traditional English cottage built some 250 years ago, this inn places you in the rural heart of the English Midlands. The surroundings are mainly pasture, with a village pub a few minutes’ walk away.

Ireland

After 3 nights in England, you’ll catch a plane to Dublin, the lively and historic capital city of Ireland. In the countryside, it’ll take you no time to see why green is the obligatory color of St. Patrick’s Day celebrations the world over. The country—about the size of Indiana—takes the notions of “lush” and “green” to a whole new level. Experience it for yourself during 3 nights at an Irish B&B. We’ve listed some of the possibilities below.

• Annandale House is conveniently situated between the airport and Dublin’s city center. The innkeepers are happy to give directions to wherever you might be headed, and there’s a pub just around the corner where you can sip a hearty pint of Guinness.
• Rossroe Lodge: Getting to this B&B on Ireland’s west coast means driving across the country, but that’s not so hard—it takes less than 4 hours from coast to coast. Once you’re here, you’ll enjoy views of Cashel Bay and surrounding mountains. We recommend stopping by Galway on the way in or out.
• Killarney House: This luxury B&B is within walking distance of Blarney Castle, home of the famous Blarney Stone. The city of Cork is just a 15-minute drive away.
