Why should you choose self catering in Ireland for your holidays this year? Well for starters most holiday homes are located close to some of Ireland’s most scenic areas. Add to this freedom and flexibility as well as the opportunity to get your hands on some local wholesome produce to create your own fabulous culinary dishes and you’ll see why!

Many of our self catering properties are surrounded by the beautiful Irish countryside. Imagine waking up to the breathtaking rugged scenery of the Connemara Region, the tranquillity of the Lakes of Killarney or be perched on a site overlooking the mighty Atlantic Ocean.

Self catering also offers great freedom. It’s your home for a week, 2 weeks, or for however long you’re staying there. You can come and go as you please and you don’t have to be up at the crack of dawn to face that well-known full Irish breakfast. This is a fantastic bonus if you’ve had a heavy night on the tiles the previous night?

There’s a good range of options to choose from. Self catering properties range from city centre apartments to large holiday homes by the sea. And if there are a number of you travelling it works out cheaper - it’s a fantastic idea for families.

Another plus point for self catering is you can trot along to local markets/supermarkets and pick the cream of the crop in fresh wholesome produce and then cook up a storm when you get back to your self catering property. This is a much cheaper option than dining out.

Serf catering properties are also ideal touring bases. If for example you choose a holiday home in Killarney, you can spend each day discovering all the different corners of one of Ireland’s most breathtaking regions.
