It is good to have table tennis to play during a self-catering holiday in Ireland. There are times during the best of holidays when it rains, or you have a few chores to do before you can go out and rather than the children becoming bored, they can play each other at ping pong. Serious table tennis competition could grow from a few days in a holiday cottage. Table tennis is usually situated in a games room, alongside a pool table, darts and other games.
The main advantage of a self-catering cottage in Ireland over a hotel or B&B is that guests can relax and feel at home. Children will not be confined to a single room, there is always a kitchen and living room at the very least where people can spread out. A garden becomes a playground for kids, especially if it has swings.
