Enjoy a Cottage Holiday in Ireland

By Donald Spearson

Ireland is a gorgeous country known from its rugged beauty, dreamy landscaped and rich culture and folklore background. There is no escaping from a colourful past and a sense of history seeps though every old building. When rambling through the Irish countryside you will encounter ruins, cottages and even the remains of ancient castles and churches.

The best way to get to know Ireland and its beauty is by mixing in with the local population. Every Irish village has a traditional pub where you can drink, eat for little money and often you can enjoy some great live music here. There are many self-catering cottages available for rent in Ireland. All over the area you can stay in this traditional type of Irish housing and many cottages are historic buildings and have a rich past.

You can pick from over 30 locations if you want to stay in an Irish cottage and most cottages are built in locations where you will have some neighbors in cottages built as part of the same cluster. You can choose a cottage with a wholesome breakfast included or you can decide to cater for yourself. Make the most of the local fresh [produce markets and enjoy a home cooked meal with a view on the meadows of Ireland.

Ireland has many activities to offer. You can watch dolphins, try water skiing and there are even some great diving spots. You probably won’t want to leave your comfortable pub seat but if you do there is plenty to see and do in this wonderful country. The Irish people are known for their friendliness and it is not a rare thing to be invited to a pub feast or a home barbeque. You will be treated to strong beers and great music. What are you waiting for? Ireland will make you feel right at home.
