    Stumbled across this while looking for a cheap place to stay before i head to belfast airport the day after.

    Its a B&B in Monaghan from the 3rd of November to the 4th.

    Looks too good to be true but i booked mine anyway and will see what happens, there is one room left and it seems to be only on these dates that this offer is available

    Link is here.

    It was actually €7 when I checked it last night but I assume they realised a f*ck-up happened and altered it.

    I wouldn't have the nerve to stay in a B&b and pay them €7 when I was leaving, knowing that they made a loss! I know that's what it was advertised for but was obviously an error. I wouldn't care if it was a hotel because its generally staff that you'd be dealing with but I'd find it hard to look the owner of a B&b in the eye and hand over €7! That's just me though, maybe im too soft!

    Yea got a phone call saying it was a massive error and i agreed to cancel.

    5% of me was thinking it might have been some crazy promotion the other 95% knew it was an error.

    Fair play to you. Small operators couldn't honour mistakes like that.

    At €7 it was a fair price for Monaghan.

    €40 would be more than enough. He could have made them give it for €7.

    They should be paying you 110 quid to stay in Monaghan.

    This comes up every time...will people ever learn? No he couldn't have made them give it for €7, have a look at consumer law.
