Keep the kids entertained by renting a holiday cottage with table tennis

Visitors to Ireland who are looking for a self-catering holiday home with table tennis will not be disappointed. Table tennis is an excellent way to spend the time and perhaps ensure that older children are entertained! The tables are normally placed within a games room which can also offer pool, snooker, and darts amongst other various board games. There are many properties that have games rooms or access to one, but table tennis itself is more often found in shared facilities. The properties themselves often have wi-fi but playing a game of 'ping pong' is a fun activity for kids, and older kids too, and will be a welcome addition to any holiday home in inclement weather. Accommodation tends to be in holiday lodges and cottages but there are self-catering apartments in large towns and cities with shared access to games rooms and the various options match all tastes and budgets.
