What Is Your Dream Holiday In Ireland?

SafeSurfer

What do you want in an Irish holiday? Does holidaying in Ireland sill not count as a proper holiday for some people? I have traveled a bit in the past and now I could quite happily holiday within Ireland for the next 3 to 4 years.

I know the weather can be sh1t but sometimes you just have to make the most of it. Even the unpredictability of the weather can mean you have to change plans at the spur of the moment and that can lead to unexpected adventures.

So what is your dream holiday in Ireland? A cosy cottage? A luxurious spa? A pool for the kids? Self-catering or hotel? Coastal or inland?

If that were true, we'd have a hell of a lot more tourists.:p

There is simply not enough said for messing around on boats.

Simply.. messing around.... on boats.

You can have a dirty weekend on a boat. Bet she looks saucy in that hat. Climb aboard captain!

Clare; Kilkee to name my favourite. Dingle. Most of Galway county, particularly Connemara for the scenery and general quiet country side and tradition. A lot around the west really, home is quite a nice break as well, lots of watersports, nice people and lovely green drumlins.

West Cork, North Antrim, Dingle Peninsula. Anywhere along the coast to be honest.

We live in a really beautiful country.

Can I add Dungloe and all of Donegal.:)

North Antrim

Lovely country-side, but a very dull place in my opinion.

Most certainly!

The holidays of my childhood were something like this:

Nicest spot i've been to in Ireland is Achill Island. Great place, nice beaches if you get the right weather and some lovely people.

Are there many exciting and unconventional holiday activities around Ireland. Something along the lines of new extreme sports, other outdoor activities, festivals etc?? I am looking for new and exciting things to do around Ireland!

Dream holiday in Ireland for me would be visiting the islands off the west coast!
I'd love to spend a bit of time on Inis Boffin, Clare Island, Aran Islands and up along!
I absolutely love the sea and being on the coast!

Totally arseways. Holidaying in Ireland is only for the rich. You can get a sun holiday including flights for the same cost as a 3 night break in Ireland.

My dream holiday in Ireland would be an overnight stay at an airport hotel and flying to somewhere warm and sunny early the next morning. I have never and will never Holiday in this rip off ****hole.

I would love to see the Aran Islands someday, about the only places I have little interest in would be a few midlands counties (Kildare gets a reprieve).

Outside of the obvious( Kerry,Galway, West Cork, Clare & Wicklow), I absolutely adored Tipperary,it's got history,mountains,fishing and great pubs and so green.

Sligo, Killkenny and Carlow( beautiful villages nestled between mt.leinster and wicklow mts)
Drumlin counties-never saw them before and loved the first experience

A few years ago, we couldn't afford to go abroad so my parents rented out a holiday home in Youghal for a week. I'm from Cork City so i was slightly miffed. But we went to the merries, arcade, greyhound track. It was so simple and fabulous, going back there would probably be my dream holiday. I'm easy

A beautiful town,overflowing with history, would like to go back and see the old church with the norman gravestones, and myrtle grove-onetime home to Walter Raleigh or Edmund Spencer, I forget.

Definitely Dingle but just to make it a bit better...

a few grams of Colombian's finest,
a couple of Brazilian hookers,
beef with mushroom and special fried rice from the chinese,
Japanese porn on the TV
Swedish massage

You'll get funghi to do some of that if you pay the shekels

A big group of friends to North Donegal. Beautiful scenery, beaches, surfing and back to Letterkenny for good food and great night life.

Then do it all again in West Mayo/ Westport.

Winter in an isolated house somewhere in Connemara near the coast with friends.

A cold, dark and cloudy winters day. Wind and driving rain with the fire blazing, with not a tv, radio or internet in sight. Absolute perfection.

A lovely lunch and few pints in Bushes Bar in Baltimore on the very south of the country, followed by a 10 minute ferry ride over to Sherkin Island for the storytelling festival in the Islanders Rest hotel, with nothing but a fire and the breeze outside for company, pure heaven.

No holidays in Ireland, Ireland is a kip. Last time I went on holiday in this country it cost me about 2k for 1 week. It also pissed for the duration.

I must be odd..

I don't like anything about Dingle, especially Dingle town.

Some parts of Sligo are nice.

I love renting a cottage anywhere secluded, in the midlands when weather is miserable (Not necessarily cold) and having the fire and going to the local.

When it's sunny, West Coast and midlands depending on the mood, beach or lake or river...

I like it,it's kinda quirky and traditional at the same time, fishermen mingling with artists,love the Dingle peninsula, I thought I knew it all,but recently went back,and instead of going for Tralee,I went towards Brandon,first time. Can't wait to go back

Gee_G

I know it's been mentioned already but achill island! Only got to go to it for a day trip but I'm mad to go back for a few days(weather permitting)
I loved everything about it. Driving down the road behind sheep, sheep randomly strolling across a golf/pitch and putt course, went to a lovely little coffee shop for lunch. The weather was crap the day we were there but went to Keem(sp?) Beach and it is amazing! Lovely secluded little beach and the water was crystal clear!

byhookorbycrook

We go to Dingle each year, uncrowded beaches-we swim in most weathers, Murphy's Icecream, local rack of lamb, mussels and good pubs.

Menelaun

Donegal Gaoth Daibhair and Bundoran are gorgeous and thats not many places like Galway
Ive always wanted to go to Waterville in Kerry

Shint0

Fermanagh is actually very nice, the lakes and waterways, Marble Arch caves and you can explore Donegal from there also.
