    The people who run it are old friends of mine, and I understand that standards are very high.

    This is what their website says about prices:
    An Teach B!n B&B, Bunbeg has three en suite double or twin rooms, costing €36 per person sharing; one standard double room, at a rate of €34 per person sharing and a single standard room, also costing €34. Prices include breakfast.

    As with any business, it is always worth getting in touch and asking if they can give a discount (at worst they can only say no).

    Maybe not very cheap but it's worth having a look here:

    You do get some good last minute deals and some of the cottages are cheapish. I've rented through them a few times and have mostly had pretty good experiences. My only advice would be to check whether towels are included and to make sure you're able to control the heating (even if you do have to pay for it). I only had a problem once with the heating issue, we weren't able to do anything to reset it and the heating only came on for an hour morning and evening and it was FREEZING in between except for the open fire. And the bathroom never warmed up so it was a quick strip wash :) That said, I'm only saying it to warn you, the other three cottages we hired were fine...but I always ask about the heating now!
