• cottages and holiday homes in Ireland  generally

People like to visit Ireland for that feeling of peace and tranquillity as well as famous Irish humour and hospitality. Compared with England or Wales, Ireland is sparsely inhabited outside the cities and towns. Cottages and houses are well spread out; sitting on sizeable plots with countryside in between. This in small villages and rural areas may have a mile or two between each cottage - perfect for secluded holidays 'away from it all'.

Typical oudoor activities in Ireland include: fishing, pony trekking, sailing, golf, walking and cycling.

Everyone has their own favourite Irish county. County Donegal in north west Ireland is considered one of the most beautiful and only one hour's drive from Derry Airport. Kerry with its mountain scenery is attractive. In fact anywhere that has mountains and hills tends to have beautiful landscapes.
