How does one select your vacation destination? Been there before? Mates recommended it? It seems like a fair deal? Everyone has our own reasons for selecting where we spend our holidays but do you ever think that if you always take the same approach you’ll never try anywhere new? If you have had an Irish vacation before you may already know why Eire is a great vacation location “for a family vacation, a group getaway or a couple’s escape break. If you’ve not taken a vacation in Ireland before.read on because we think you have been missing out.

The island of Eire is a world away, but on your doorstep. It’s a place you can select whether you ‘go Euro dollar ‘ or ‘stay in sterling’. And it’s a place where the people and practices are different enough for a great new experience though not so different that you’re feeling unwelcome. In reality whilst the weather might not be assured the welcome definitely is “warm, friendly and inclusive.

Eire is ideal for city breaks examples include Belfast, Dublin, Galway and Kilkennny. All have their very own character and social life. Staying in or near Ireland’s cities is straightforward, there is an excellent choice of hotels, B&Bs and if you want to enjoy the city by day, but have a quiet life in the evenings there are heaps of pretty self catering cottages in Antrim, Dublin County and Kilkenny.

But what if you’re on the lookout for adventure and excitement. Despite Ireland’s easygoing atmosphere and reputation for taking a cool view on life this island is a great place for an activity vacation. It goes without saying that a walking holiday in Eire will be great. If you’re looking for something slightly different plenty of Ireland’s beaches are tops for surfing, sailing and kayaking. And for the more bold there’s paragliding or caving. If activity holidays are your thing you most likely need to contemplate camping or staying in an Irish holiday cottage.

For many of us a vacation is about doing nothing and relaxing in the sun. Ireland has some great weather and fantastic beaches to go with it. The list is long but our suggestions are to take to the sand on Brittas Bay in County Wicklow, White Strand Beach near Doonbeg, and the beaches of Portrush or Rossnowlagh. Your accommodation choice ranges from bigger hotels, boarding houses and caravan/camping sites. But you can just as simply find your Irish Vacation Home with a self-catering beach cottage or sea front city house.

Hopefully this may give you a taste of what’s great about a holiday in Ireland. So , pack you bags, book your holiday home from home and make for Ireland.

If you’d like to stay in one of over 1500 Holiday Homes in Ireland or even stay in a selection of 113 Galway Cottages just north of the powerful River Shannon, Imagine Ireland offers the widest choice.
