Speaking about the rating system, David Lintott of trivago.ie said: “The trivago Top Hotel Awards aim to judge all accommodation fairly, whether they are a guest house in Dingle, a B&B in Ballybunion or a luxury hotel in Dublin.
"It is really pleasing to see such a range of accommodation in our top 50, and it is fascinating that B&Bs are rated as highly as four- and five-star hotels. It appears that holidaymakers in Ireland are attracted to the family-run nature and personalised service of B&Bs."
Harvey's Point has proven a hit with guests on a number of occasions now, winning TripAdvisor's Travellers' Choice awards for the third consecutive year earlier this year.
