Went to Kerry a couple of weeks ago for a break. Weather was atrocious.
Took a few drives around, but horrible weather doesnt make for a good holiday. Will staycation (in the house) next time if we cant go abroad. Too much of a gamble on the weather in Ireland.
And thats my third time learning that lesson by holidaying in Ireland

Yes when it’s misty in kerry it’s awful. We’ve booked ten days in August hope it will be nice. We know our way around fairly well so hopefully it will be good.0 -

We have changed our planned Greek holiday to summer 2021 (fingers crossed!). We are going to do a few days in west Cork end of Aug. Kind of off topic, but hopefully allowed, after 20th July, is the restriction of pre-booking a table in a bar/restaurant & time limit of 1 3/4 hrs going to lifted?
I think that's very much on topic, as it is a big essential element in any staycation. Don't know when this will be changed. On Sunday my hotel, in the grounds of Ashford Castle, phoned me to tell me the procedure for checking in and that I won't be seeing any reception staff, but a porter outside my car who will be processing it all and directing me to room. I was asked what time I'd like breakfast and to stick to it, also about dinner, but I had booked that online. I'm not going until next week. Next they will be taking advance booking as to when you will use the toilet

Single and no family so usually do a few European and Stateside trips each year. I've shelved all my plans for this year as don't feel comfortable getting on a plane.
I've nothing planned but all of your posts are making me want to book a long weekend somewhere!
Will probably head off with a few girlfriends. Any suggestions? Preferably somewhere with a nice spa/food/cocktails :P0 -

Same for pools in hotels.
You are given times.
No more just deciding, oh i think i'll go down for a swim.
You have to know what time you want a swim at in advance.0 -

Thanks for your feedback On our booking confirmation, there was a note saying that restaurant had to be prebooked and a 90mins-105mins max stay, plus we have to book a time for breakfast. But I'm hoping that this is just a standard FYI notice for phase 3, and it will change before we travel, which is the end of Aug. Lol about the toilet booking, at this stage nothing would surprise me :eek: 0 -

Id say if your single and not teachers wait until sept/oct for a spa trip. Should get some good deals. In the past autumn time is when many retirees go on holiday. Many will be afraid this year and hotels are really going to miss that business0 -

Im not sure about how it will go this year but on rainy days in Dingle we do lots of things. The kids have fantastic raingear and we just go to the beach anyway. They are toddlers so they love it. In past years we would pay to go into a hotel swimming pool for a swim but not sure if that will be possible this year. The Aquarium is fab as well. Drive around slea head. Go into Tralee for a day or Killarney. Get take away from Dingle to eat. Wander around the town and get a nice coffee from BEAN in dingle. Drive Slea HEad if the weather is clear.
Obviously its better if weather is nice but a change of scene is wonderful too. We dont go to bars or restaurants much anyway so I cant say anything about that. I prefer when the weather isnt too misty and the views are visible but I've visited Dingle at all times of year and I love it.
You are not selling it to me.
Thats not a holiday to me.
Thats trying to pretend you are enjoying a sh1t holiday 0 -
