Budget friendly

Choosing a holiday cottage in Ireland with a sand pit and toys for children in the garden is ideal if you are on a budget. Having your own holiday home means that you don’t have to spend money on eating out all the time, and you can cook your favourite family meals whenever it suits you. If you’ve got accommodation with a sand pit and toys in the garden, you’ll be able to save further cash on days out and excursions. Small children will be quite happy to spend hours digging about in the sand pit and playing in the garden: and if these features are already included, that’s one less thing for you to organise – and the kids will be delighted with these fun ways to play.

Parents need a break too

When you’re planning a holiday with kids, you probably don’t anticipate getting too much time to relax while you’re away. If you go for a holiday cottage in Ireland with a sand pit and toys for children, you’ll have an automatic pass to enjoy some you time while the kids play! While the little ones make sandcastles and chase each other around with a ball, you can put your feet up with your favourite book and a cup of fresh coffee from the well-equipped modern kitchen that comes with your holiday home. What more could you ask for?

Take the pressure off

When you’re away on holiday with the kids, it can feel as if every day has to include planned activities and trips away. While this is especially fun in Ireland, there will be days where you just want to kick back in your holiday cottage and enjoy your surroundings. If you make sure that you choose a property with a sandpit and garden toys – this will be easy!
