Country cottage breaks in Ireland - the good time isle

To get to Ireland from the mainland of the UK, it is necessary to take a ferry or a flight. Some find the idea of such travel off putting when it comes to taking breaks. It is a pity though as Ireland has some amazing countryside.

Northern Ireland is known for its particularly stunning scenery, the West coast is known for its dramatic coastline, the East coast is known for being home to Dublin and the South Coast is known for unspoilt villages and countryside.

Many dream of holidaying in Ireland to find peaceful villages, pleasant countryside and crofters cottages. Ireland is known to be a very unspoilt destination, rich in natural beauty.
