The main complaint that tourists and visitors to our country is that the price of accommodation is excessive. A lot of hotels throughout the country no longer operate as hotels. Even Irish people find it cheaper to fly to Spain or Portugal for a week than stay for a weekend in an Irish hotel.
Hi Nicole, lucky the weather was not so wet. As mentioned several times in the comments if no one is available at a campsite they just rely on you setting up camp and getting payment from you when they return or before you leave. It’s like this in a lot of countries. But you can’t beat camping wild where possible, saves you a lot of money.
Hi Shaun, I have to admit I prefer to call to the owner at least 😅 to know where to pitch the tent, even if no one shows up until the next day but I'll know it next time. That's true, I did it a few times but not in Ireland.
Its a tourist mecca in Northern Europe and I can tell you it isn't 'ridiculously expensive'. I've been through many time. People always moaning, stay at home if you are so broke
Yes, it's the food capital of Ireland so restaurants and cafes in Kinsale were more expensive than elsewhere. Actually I think it's overrated when you consider other places in West Cork like Bantry, Glengarriff and the Beara Peninsula. I would advise tourists to ride/drive further west.
Good to see you are enjoying Ireland the accommodation can be expensive the more popular a place gets the prices go up. I am enjoying your videos here in Ireland looking forward to the next one
@travelwithevora good luck with the rest of your trip if you are going to travel down the east coast I am in navan county meath you are welcome to stay at my house save on hotel and do laundry i am a fellow biker and have received a good turn when on the road so it's nice to return the favor Gerry
Campsites is the way to go especially when the weather is good.some B and Bs have got very expensive in Ireland. The most expensive Campsites I have ever stayed in were in Cork for some reason. When I'm camping on my own in Ireland I usually pay from 15 to 20 euro.That said I usually try to wild camp.Thanks for the lovely tour.
That's true :) even campsites are sometimes expensive 😅 I had several spots for 25€.. without any further service, just a bit grass and a shower. For me, wild camping was quite difficult - At least close to the waw, everything was private property 😅
Apologies for the cost of accommodation in Ireland…please always ask around people as we are embarrassed by how expensive things are and would always want to help.🇮🇪❤
@@johnmoorefilm All good :) I knew what was coming and that I probably wouldn't be able to keep my €30/night 😄 (although I'm still below that on average, so all good :) Thank you ☺️
Fantastic videos, was waiting for this part as I am from Kinsale. I Knew the prices for accomodation would feature 😅😅 Glad you are enjoying and good luck for the rest of the trip 🇮🇪
Excellent video...the R600 from Kinsale to Clonakilty is one of my favourite roads! You are lucky with the weather...Ireland is a great place to ride and explore 🇮🇪! Cheers Steve
Wow , so great you are in Ireland , If you have the time , you can visit Shannon Castle not far from Limerick very beautiful Castle . Or when you will be near Northen Ireland , visit Giant's Causeway , very unusual stones there on the beach .
I noticed that you passed Timoleague Abbey on your way to the west. I have relatives buried there and know the area very well. You were lucky with the weather.
Did the wild Atlantic road this summer with my son. Absolutely loved it and the people were all so fantastic. We didn't find accommodation expensive although we did do a few hostels
See if you can pre plan your overnight stop and look at B and B's just outside the main villages, they should be cheaper, and you'll hopefully avoid the inflated tourist prices?
Amazing to follow your tour of Ireland. I hope you enjoy your time in our country. 🇮🇪 Don't ignore the heartlands. Beautiful round tower, part of a Norman castle in Nenagh Co. Tipperary with views from the top of the surrounding countryside and the town below.
Love the video of some of my regular haunts for local spins. Glad you found The Local in Dungarvan, great food there. You did miss a brilliant road on the Copper Coast from Tramore to Dungarvan. Good to see the breakfast in JJ's and my local shop Lee Honda. You did find one of my favorite roads to Timoleague where you flew the drone. Hope you enjoyed it despite the weather and not so welcoming accommodation. Don't take the dangerous driving personally. Also don't get in the habit of leaving gloves/helmet on bike unattended. And keep as far away from Dublin as possible. By the way, when were you in Cork? I have a feeling i passed your parked bike somewhere.....
Thank you 😊 yes I drove a bit on the faster road to get to cork. I absolutely enjoyed it ☺️ I was there in the beginning of July .. I'm really behind with my videos 🫣
The area looks very nice, the prices are a bit high but okay. When in Wales I always thought " Drive left and look right". Love the small roads and the sea view
Nice video. I just set up my tent, or you check in yourself when the owner is back, or the next morning, otherwise it would have been a free overnight stay 😉
Touring on a big bike ( 1000cc?) is great. Especially when you are a skilled and careful rider as Evora clearly is. The narrow roads are ideal for bike touring.
Ah du bist grade an Cobh vorbei gefahren (und auf die Faehre stattdessen). Super schoener Ort mit ein paar tollen Cafes & Restaurants. Schade! 😁 Die no-drone Flyzone ist wegen dem Flughafen. In dem mittleren Ring haettest du sogar auf max. 30m hoehe fliegen duerfen!
Oh hab es gerade gegoogelt 🥲 sehr schöne Stadt.. und jetzt hab Ich in Irland eigentlich schon echt viel angeschaut 🥲 Ah ok, aber 30m ist echt nicht sehr hoch 🥲

@@travelwithevora Well if it helps, when I watch you on my computer, which is hooked to a pair of proper studio monitors, the problem is less, although it could use a little more treble. It's on TV speakers that it gets really bad (for me at least).
Yea Kinsale is beautiful with prices to match,It's winter most of the campsites are closed, being winter prices should also be lower.The wild Atlantic Way is beautiful ,you are in for a treat.Pubs are good for food.
When property is marked private in Ireland, it just means it's not public property. Land around lighthouses is public but is restricted for health and safety. They're usually near cliffs, rocks and other hazards, and roads in and around are restricted access for operational reasons too. Many lighthouses used to contain living quarters for lighthousemen and their families.
I wonder if that sign is really about private property or whether they have just put it up because they are fed up of people driving up that way. It would be interesting to find out if it is really private property because as you point out it is a large headland.
It's great to see another one of your videos from Ireland. About 14 minutes into the video, I had a thought, next video, keep a pen and paper beside me and count the number of times you say "Wow". :D I noticed that a coupe of people who commented, have made donations to you. I would like to do so also, but I don't know how. Can you guide me to do that please? Looking forward to the next installment of your adventure on the Wild Atlantic Way.
Let me know the results 😂 will be quite a lot 🥲 and I think "Beautiful" will be close. ☺️ sure - it's next to the share and like buttons, depends on the device, sometimes you have to swipe, sometimes there are three dots to extent the menu :) it's called thanks and shows a heart with dollar inside.
I don't know about Europe, but in Australia you can fly a sub 250g drone in restricted air space after obtaining a clearance code, which last for 24 hours.
@@travelwithevora If you fly in a restricted air space, you are limited to 45m height, and must stay outside airport boundary, and stay clear of runways. I think we have it pretty good here in Australia.
The small speed signs are supposed to represent that the speed limit hasn't changed, they're just a "reminder" of the current speed limit you should be following anyway. But yeah, they are too small.

Hello Evora , Thank you for visiting Ireland one lesson you will learn in this beautiful country is You are going to be Ripped off from time to time these friendly Irish people are excellent at doing so [ Not all of them ] my native county is very good at it [Kerry] , I,m in my eighty,s a lifetime of experience , Spain / Germany [ southern] Austria and Lanzarote these places give V F M [ Value For Money ] I enjoy your video Thanks and take care ☘☘☘☘☘.
Kinsale is home to the trendy sailing crowd, and as a result boasts lots of excellent restaurants but is therefore really expensive. The Irish Riviera! Not the place I would be able to afford to stay overnight.
While it's fun to wing it on any kind of trip you do make things much harder for yourself. Even some minor preplanning would have saved you so much time. If you had done a check on prices etc before your trip you would have less reason to complain. Prices are very high in Ireland and if you are on a budget you should have planned a bit better. Accommodation is notoriously expensive in Ireland. I'm surprised you didn't check out couch surfing or other cheap options. You could also have done house sitting. Or stayed in one place for a few nights and get a discount and take day trips. It's interesting you haven't complained about the cost of fuel so that's good! I can't believe the number of camp sites etc you tried to stay at and no-one had the courtesy to take your call. This at a time when when many in the tourism business in Ireland are whining and complaining and complaining about VAT rates etc. Please report these sites to the local tourist authority. If they have a license to run a camp site it should be revoked. Many supermarkets have delis . Pubs have toilets and electricity and many times good food! And please check the weather on your proposed route every morning. While Irish weather is notoriously fickle, you should get a fair idea of what it's going to be like for then next 24 hours. While it seems your goal is to just drive the WWW - you sure are missing out on some wonderful places along the way. Kinsale is a lovely town (yes expensive, it is the "gourmet capital" of Ireland as I am sure you know!) but it would have been a good place to splurge on some fabulous food. You missed out on a visit to Charles Fort. Again, if you'd checked Galley Head you would have found out that the lighthouse is rental property. If you had checked out the Ireland walking trails you could have gotten information on walking and hiking in Ireland. You could also check out student accommodation which is rented out during the summer at the Universities. Hope some of this helps!
Thanks for the advice, it's a pity that my words are taken as if I were complaining about the prices. That is not the case. I think I am communicating clearly what the purpose of this trip is and how I am travelling. I have no interest in setting myself a fixed destination, then I wouldn't have been able to do some of the things I did, simply because I ‘have to be at the accommodation on time’. I wanted to do this trip to prepare for a trip around the world next year. Facing minimal problems and finding solutions to them is one of the things I'm happy to take on. In addition, I want to show that you can travel on a limited budget - this is not a 2 week trip but a trip over half a year. If you are happy to spend 100 euros to sleep, you can do that - it's simply not worth it to me. The same goes for eating out - I want to explore countries and not just eat - I've eaten out from time to time but it doesn't have to be every day. I save where I can - and petrol is not one of the things you can save on, nor is the maintenance of my bike. It's nice that you are aware of all this, before I came to Ireland I had never experienced such areas of land being privately owned. That doesn't happen in other countries. So what should I have been looking for? What could I have googled? I did my research on the visit to Ireland, I set myself goals and I had a great time. Did I see every centimetre? Of course not, then I would have to stay in Ireland for 2 years. Why always focus on what you didn't see instead of what you did see? It was my first visit to Ireland (my first long solo trip) - did I make mistakes with the routing? For sure ..but that doesn't minimise the experience. And now I'm finding out about places I haven't seen, which I can save for next time. I've missed far more in other countries - but at some point you have to move on. Btw. Hiking is not easy when you have to leave all your luggage open on a motorbike. I do it from time to time but it's not a hiking holiday. PS: I don't report someone to whatever authorities because they don't answer the phone. They're also just people who maybe had something more important to do.
@@travelwithevoraWell said Evora. Life can be so busy with timetables and deadlines, so it’s great that you’re taking time out and “going with the flow”. I’m looking forward to more of your videos.
@@shanemurphy1246 thanks 😊 that's actually not necessary, not even recommended for newer bikes or cars. The oil pressure is immediately available and the viscosity is not as high as it used to be. In addition, the warm-up phase is reduced when driving, which is better for the engine.
It's December, the season is officially over in Ireland. Those involved in tourism are working other jobs or have gone on holiday, we don't get enough through traffic - being a small island - to justify all accommodations remaining open. Of course hotels are open. Anyway I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay 👍🏻☘️
Oh its even worse when they park in the wrong direction at night and sit there with their headlights on blinding oncoming traffic. Really annoying - and dangerous.
You seem to like narrow country roads. In Ireland you will get nice, but not an even standard of professionalism as evidenced by your camping experiences. Also "returning calls" in Ireland, even for business purposes, is considered an optional extra. As for B&Bs, they can be more expensive and less welcoming than budget hotels. Safe travels and enjoy.
😅that's good to know, sometimes people called back 🥲 I always check for Hotels on booking or Google, but I never found cheaper options. The Hotels I saw on the way looked waaaay more expensive😅 Thanks 😊
Some call back? I'm in shock😊. I like travelling around Ireland, but food and accommodation prices are beyond funny. A lucky find is a B&B under €50. The norm in high price Ireland is €70 plus. So that leaves camp sites, which remain affordable. I am a frequent work traveller to Scandinavia, especially Finland. I can stay in a very nice hotel, centre of Helsinki for €65. Same standard hotel in Ireland is probably €130 or more if in Dublin. If it's any consolation, Irish people are tired of the high prices too. And saying more about tourist costs in Ireland will only depress you, I am stopping here😊. May your travels be safe, the wind be always at your back and the sun shine as you bike across Ireland. Best wishes.

Hello Evora , Thank you for visiting Ireland one lesson you will learn in this beautiful country is You are going to be Ripped off from time to time these friendly Irish people are excellent at doing so [ Not all of them ] my native county is very good at it [Kerry] , I,m in my eighty,s a lifetime of experience , Spain / Germany [ southern] Austria and Lanzarote these places give V F M [ Value For Money ] I enjoy your video Thanks and take care ☘☘☘☘☘.
@@johnburns6422 ☺️ thanks, except of the hostels In Galway I would say the prices were all right 🥲 everything is expensive nowadays
Kinsale is home to the trendy sailing crowd, and as a result boasts lots of excellent restaurants but is therefore really expensive. The Irish Riviera! Not the place I would be able to afford to stay overnight.
@@Paul-te8mz that's true
The price of accomodation in Ireland is extortionate. Even for Irish people. It’s cheaper to just get a cheap flight abroad.
@@iddn I guess that's why I met so many Irish people on campsites 😄
Kinsale is ridiculously expensive.
While it's fun to wing it on any kind of trip you do make things much harder for yourself. Even some minor preplanning would have saved you so much time. If you had done a check on prices etc before your trip you would have less reason to complain. Prices are very high in Ireland and if you are on a budget you should have planned a bit better. Accommodation is notoriously expensive in Ireland. I'm surprised you didn't check out couch surfing or other cheap options. You could also have done house sitting. Or stayed in one place for a few nights and get a discount and take day trips. It's interesting you haven't complained about the cost of fuel so that's good! I can't believe the number of camp sites etc you tried to stay at and no-one had the courtesy to take your call. This at a time when when many in the tourism business in Ireland are whining and complaining and complaining about VAT rates etc. Please report these sites to the local tourist authority. If they have a license to run a camp site it should be revoked. Many supermarkets have delis . Pubs have toilets and electricity and many times good food! And please check the weather on your proposed route every morning. While Irish weather is notoriously fickle, you should get a fair idea of what it's going to be like for then next 24 hours. While it seems your goal is to just drive the WWW - you sure are missing out on some wonderful places along the way. Kinsale is a lovely town (yes expensive, it is the "gourmet capital" of Ireland as I am sure you know!) but it would have been a good place to splurge on some fabulous food. You missed out on a visit to Charles Fort. Again, if you'd checked Galley Head you would have found out that the lighthouse is rental property. If you had checked out the Ireland walking trails you could have gotten information on walking and hiking in Ireland. You could also check out student accommodation which is rented out during the summer at the Universities. Hope some of this helps!
Thanks for the advice, it's a pity that my words are taken as if I were complaining about the prices. That is not the case. I think I am communicating clearly what the purpose of this trip is and how I am travelling. I have no interest in setting myself a fixed destination, then I wouldn't have been able to do some of the things I did, simply because I ‘have to be at the accommodation on time’.
I wanted to do this trip to prepare for a trip around the world next year. Facing minimal problems and finding solutions to them is one of the things I'm happy to take on.
In addition, I want to show that you can travel on a limited budget - this is not a 2 week trip but a trip over half a year. If you are happy to spend 100 euros to sleep, you can do that - it's simply not worth it to me. The same goes for eating out - I want to explore countries and not just eat - I've eaten out from time to time but it doesn't have to be every day. I save where I can - and petrol is not one of the things you can save on, nor is the maintenance of my bike.
It's nice that you are aware of all this, before I came to Ireland I had never experienced such areas of land being privately owned. That doesn't happen in other countries. So what should I have been looking for? What could I have googled?
I did my research on the visit to Ireland, I set myself goals and I had a great time. Did I see every centimetre? Of course not, then I would have to stay in Ireland for 2 years. Why always focus on what you didn't see instead of what you did see? It was my first visit to Ireland (my first long solo trip) - did I make mistakes with the routing? For sure ..but that doesn't minimise the experience. And now I'm finding out about places I haven't seen, which I can save for next time. I've missed far more in other countries - but at some point you have to move on.
Btw. Hiking is not easy when you have to leave all your luggage open on a motorbike. I do it from time to time but it's not a hiking holiday.
PS: I don't report someone to whatever authorities because they don't answer the phone. They're also just people who maybe had something more important to do.
@@travelwithevoraWell said Evora. Life can be so busy with timetables and deadlines, so it’s great that you’re taking time out and “going with the flow”. I’m looking forward to more of your videos.
Love your videos but wish you'd let your bike warm up even for 20/30 secs before you take off it hurts my soul
@@shanemurphy1246 thanks 😊 that's actually not necessary, not even recommended for newer bikes or cars. The oil pressure is immediately available and the viscosity is not as high as it used to be. In addition, the warm-up phase is reduced when driving, which is better for the engine.
It's December, the season is officially over in Ireland. Those involved in tourism are working other jobs or have gone on holiday, we don't get enough through traffic - being a small island - to justify all accommodations remaining open. Of course hotels are open. Anyway I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay 👍🏻☘️
@@wildatlanticman128 I wish I would be so fast editing these videos 😅 I was in Ireland a few months ago
@@travelwithevorayes, the leaves have long fallen off the trees and the sun disappeared 😢
@@paulcurran5048 🥲 Yes... winter is horrible
Go into a pub and charge you're stuff.
Oh 😮 never thought of that
Oh its even worse when they park in the wrong direction at night and sit there with their headlights on blinding oncoming traffic. Really annoying - and dangerous.
Yeah that's terrible 🥲
You seem to like narrow country roads. In Ireland you will get nice, but not an even standard of professionalism as evidenced by your camping experiences. Also "returning calls" in Ireland, even for business purposes, is considered an optional extra. As for B&Bs, they can be more expensive and less welcoming than budget hotels. Safe travels and enjoy.
😅that's good to know, sometimes people called back 🥲
I always check for Hotels on booking or Google, but I never found cheaper options. The Hotels I saw on the way looked waaaay more expensive😅
Thanks 😊
Some call back? I'm in shock😊. I like travelling around Ireland, but food and accommodation prices are beyond funny. A lucky find is a B&B under €50. The norm in high price Ireland is €70 plus. So that leaves camp sites, which remain affordable. I am a frequent work traveller to Scandinavia, especially Finland. I can stay in a very nice hotel, centre of Helsinki for €65. Same standard hotel in Ireland is probably €130 or more if in Dublin. If it's any consolation, Irish people are tired of the high prices too. And saying more about tourist costs in Ireland will only depress you, I am stopping here😊. May your travels be safe, the wind be always at your back and the sun shine as you bike across Ireland. Best wishes.
It is what it is. Haha
