Small holiday cottage in Ireland - sleeps two

Thinking of a getaway in Ireland for you and your partner and like the idea of staying in a small holiday cottage just for two?

There are some charming country cottages in Ireland, usually with a surrounding garden and a table and chairs in a sunny spot. A one bedroom holiday home will also have a living room, a bathroom or shower room and a kitchen. The really nice thing for couples is that the accommodation is private and you will not be disturbed by anyone.  You will have a television to watch in comfort from a sofa, a refrigerator to stock with your favourite tipples and a chance to fully relax.

The more expensive holiday homes may have additional desirable features such as a hot tub or sauna. Self-catering cottages within a holiday park may have very good leisure facilities, possibly a games room, swimming pool, tennis courts or a putting green.

A cottage holiday means self-catering. This type of holiday suits lots of people and although the fact that you have to provide your own food and drink may daunt some, the reality is not anywhere near as onerous as it initially appears.  It is really easy for couples who normally eat a breakfast of toast or cereal because that requires little effort although your kitchen would be fully equipped if you wanted to cook a big Irish breakfast.  Many couples on holiday in Ireland like to get out and about to see the local tourist attractions and beauty spots.  It is often convenient to buy lunch or an evening meal in passing wherever you find yourself that day. Alternatively, because you have a kitchen in your holiday home, you could pack a lunch to take out for your day trip. The key to self-catering is flexibility.

Begin, by finding a fabulous Irish holiday home for two and plan your sightseeing at your convenience.

Possible places to discover in Ireland

The Irish coast is delightful during the summer. You may be able to find a cottage with sea views.

Galway, Kerry and Cork are renowned for their stunning coastal scenery. It can be most pleasant to stroll along a tranquil beach, sunbathe, admire the scenery, do a spot of fishing, boating or take one of the boat tours that specialises in dolphin and whale watching.  Or, you may like to stay near Lough Hyne in County Cork which is an almost fully enclosed lake with just a narrow passage out to sea. This makes it a sheltered haven for boating and watersports.

The Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland is also a popular destination.

Ireland has several national parks that are ideal for couples who enjoy a walking holiday.  Irrespective of which corner of Ireland you choose for a week or weekend away, we are sure that you will have a lovely time.
