“WE spent two nights at Tom & Eileen’s Farm, a destination B&B; in Castlemaine. If only we had planned a week! Phena and Gerry Buckley are quintessential hosts who make you feel like one of the family. It’s a working farm that includes livestock, dogs, cats and kids. Driving directions from Gerry included stories and jokes as well as a detailed explanation of the nuances of Celtic football.”
Double rooms from $81.

Poland: Booking with no hassle
“THE problem of accommodating many people arriving on different days in sold-out Krakow was expertly solved by Visit.pl, a lodging website in Poland. I thought twice before transferring all the money by wire in advance, but there was no need to worry. Even a last-minute hotel cancellation resulted in a personally delivered cash refund the day we left the city.”
