I only had a chance to chekc out hungryhilllodge.com and it looks good.
The only thing I would change is where it says:
welcome to our hostel.Use a different font or style.

Hungry Hill Lodge one looks great. Don't do anything to it at all. The only thing I can suggest is all the way to the right that picture thing repeats as you scroll down, which isn't to much of a problem.

Hi,
Excellent site, the only thing I can suggest is try and imprve the loading time. I am only on a 56k modem and it took ages for all the graphics to load up completly.

I think you should make the edges of your photos round so that it will look better.

1) Took a while to load on my 56k modem at home.
2) I really like the side menu, but I don't know if I like that graphic to the very left of it. I guess it's ok.
3) The colors arn't the best, and don't really remind me of a bed and breakfast/lodge place to stay. Maybe more earthy colors?
4) The "Welcome to Our Hostel" text is a little jagged around the edges. Try to make it more like "Enjoy Beautiful Bearna" or whatever it says.

Colours aren't good. The two greens don't go well with each other, and that bright red clashes with both of them. For something like this I would use a lot more white.
The logo at the top needs to be bigger - you can't read the text on there.
ON the front page you mentioned something about idyllic rural surroundings - you need to show some photographs of this. That's what was successful about that mulligan equestrian site - the photos gave a great impression of what the place was like.
What is that square tapestry-like thing supposed to be? Is it just decoration? It looks pointless and out of place.
You might want to quote your prices in other currencies - like maybe British Pounds (if the rates are a lot different)
Oh, just noticed - your right side background design is not repeating smoothly - you can see a line where the tile repeats.
That background is huge - that's probably what's causing you to have such long download times. I didn't even notice the photos at the side until I downloaded the bg to see if it was as big as I thought it was. Lose those photos, and make a narrow border (about 100-200 pixels would be okay) with the green left side bar and the right side design (make sure the pattern repeats seamlessly)
