england or ireland?

Question

My family & I were hoping to take a trip this year to either the Irish countryside and stay in a cottage, or stay in London in a nice hotel. When is the best time of the year to go to either of these? Where are some really nice places to stay? Have you been before?

I was just looking to hear from someone's personal experience before we decide to go.

Answer 1

ireland will be very cold right now, cause it's up north..London will be much better as you will be able to roam around in the city and also check out the great Sale in Oxford street starting from Boxing day till new year. Go shopping...!

Answer 2

Not sure about where to stay. There are web sites that can show you lodging. Ireland and England are islands. This means you will get a lot of rain. I liked the Irish countryside, but I have never been to London so I can't compare. It depends on what you prefer - city or country. Both have beautify countrysides if you decide to get out of London. Ireland also has larger cities like Dublin. Ireland has many castles also. So have been renovated into restaurants and hotels. Try to go in the summer time. The winters are cold and very wet. The summers are not as wet, but much warmer. The days are also longer with winter days being short.

Answer 4

I've been to England never Ireland. My favorite is Wales. You must go there. Lots of beautiful people and rolling hills that people say look just like Ireland. You can easily go back and forth to England as well. They border each other. To get to Ireland you need to take a boat.

Answer 5

ireland is pretty cold and damp at the minute so i would reccomend you go in spring or summer. ireland has some beautiful countryside and i would choose it anyday over the chaos of london.

Answer 6

if you go to london,try to go maybe in may or june because if you have to use the underground often its gets really hot down there.if you get a weekly travel pass you can use the underground,buses,or sometimes the boats,but if its really hot when you go travel on the buses its a lot cooler.

There are 2 factors to the Anglican church- the "intense" church and the "low" church.The "intense" church is somewhat akin to the Catholic church. in reality all of it began as a church set up by the English King Henry as an excuse to divorce his spouse.The "low" church got here a lot later and is the in problem-free words Anglican crew in eire.it truly is extra Protestant in its beliefs and restore...yet i comprehend many Catholics who sense at abode in a "low" church.
