/ Holiday cottages in Ireland with a view of a lake

Rent a holiday cottage near a lake in Ireland so that you can wake up every morning to a stunning view of the water. Lakes can be placid and calm or covered in wind tossed waves. There are often small beaches and walks around the lake, boating, wind surfing and related water sports.

A lakeside holiday can be great fun for a group that enjoys water sports or would like to learn.  Holidaymakers are drawn to renting holiday homes with views over the water for a host of reasons: just to enjoy the scenery, photography, artistic inspiration, bird watching.

A cottage holiday is a relaxed experience. There are no deadlines, no expectations, you dress as you feel and do what you want.  What you eat and drink is entirely up to you; stay in, go out, heat up a frozen dinner. Spend quiet evenings sipping wine in the garden with a BBQ or visit the local pub or restaurant. Life can be easy.

With a holiday cottage, you do have to make your own bed, or perhaps not bother. It doesn’t take long to shake a duvet. Book a cottage with the facilities you would like to have on holiday, such as a washing machine or a dishwasher and life is like it is at home, except with better scenery and interesting places to visit. It is said that a change is as good as a rest, so take a chance and book a self-catering cottage near one of Ireland’s beautiful lakes.
