2009 a bad year for Hotels. Yes it is but they will be doing their best to make hay during the peak season. From the 2nd week of July to the Saturday before the Kids go back to school is the peak time for Irish Holiday Hotels.
If you can hold off the prices will drop like a stone the Sunday before the kids go back to school. Last year I got a week in a holiday home in Kenmare for €250. If I had gone the week before €950. They know they will not fill after the School Hols so its a case of Bums on Beds until the Oct Bank Hol.
If you have to go peak time then try midweek. Even during the boom many Hotels did not fill midweek in Jul/Aug
Case in point. The Gleneagle Killarney have a special from Monday 17th Aug. 4 Nights B&B & Evening meals including Daily sightseeing trips for just €279pps.
They will also bring you via bus from various points in Cork & Waterford. I can tell you there is not a whole lot of profit in that for a Hotel
