Finding online selection of B&Bs in Dublin area

    I am looking to book online a B&B in Dublin county or surrounding counties. But even for two month s time, I can find hardly any good websites with a decent selection of offers (ie. Single at 60 euro or under). The only website I ve found with some offers is www.bandbireland.com[font=Helvetica","sans-serif]; international booking engines like Venere, booking.com, irelandhotels.com, and Expedia are quite useless, with very few offers and sky-high prices.[/font]
    [font=Helvetica","sans-serif]I know booking engines provide free booking tools for Facebook, but few B&Bs on Facebook seem to use them. And I don t fancy having to go through directories and Facebook offers one by one, and making calls or sending emails. [/font]
    [font=Helvetica","sans-serif]I can hardly believe that many B&Bs haven t adapted digitally. Am I missing something ? [/font]
    [font=Helvetica","sans-serif]Any good websites that people can recommend? Thanks[/font]

    Sometimes the phone call is best for B&B.

    sure but that takes time... and with communications today, I'd expect to be able to fine what I want much quicker. For now, I found one on AirBnB.. But I will continue my hunt for a decent search engine. There are few B&Bs on AirBnB and the costs are not viable .. around 25% of the total cost for me and the BnB are going to AirBnB !
    I'd have thought that the B&Bs could gang together to provide a far cheaper alternative.
    Something like http://www.freetobook.com/how_it_works.php allows you put up applets on websites and works ok .. even on Facebook, but few B&Bs seem to have such solutions.. and anyway, I want an aggregator that gives me much more choice.
