Accommodation in November

I don't know about HI hostels, you'll certainly find out over their website. But independent hostels and B&Bs have low season in November and are hardly ever fully booked. However, a lot of hostels and B&Bs close down for the winter but there are still plenty open. With a car you are flexible enough to look around. I think you won't have a problem to find accommodation on the spot.

na, you'll be grand. there's be loads of B&Bs around and i'm sure the hostels will be open as well. have fun

You will be fine , loads of accomodation. check out www.ireland.ie and other tourist websites and make sure there are no festivals on though, thta is the only way you might have hassle getting accomodation, but it is highly unlikely. have a good one. bring a rain coat, and a hip flask!!!!

And one tipp - sometimes Hotels have the same price as B&Bs, but are more comfi ;-)
And to get something, as the others said - is absolutely no Problem.
Enjoy

Thanks folks. I'll take your advice. It's always so much better to wing it and stay in places that appeal when you get there rather than having a schedule to stick to - that's too much like being at work! I just hope the weather gods will be kind to me.
