Welcome to our selection of holiday houses. They really are rather special and very different from the mass of modern bungalows that blight parts of Ireland’s landscape.
All our houses are in lovely locations and are full of character and charm. Some houses are small and ideal for just a couple. Others are large and suitable for a large party.
Many are of historical or architectural importance. Many are attached to great country houses, some with wonderful gardens and some in the middle of great private estates. And some are country houses in their own right.
These special vacation properties, available for self-catering rentals, are all highly individual. They have all been restored or sympathetically converted to the highest standards, and boast stylish interiors, decent heating systems, well-equipped kitchens and comfortable beds.
This selection compliments The Hidden Ireland, an association of beautiful private country houses that offer full-service accommodation. For further information on these full-service houses, please refer to our sister publication The Hidden Ireland, known by some as the ‘Green Book’.
So there is a choice. Look after yourselves in one of the special and charming holiday houses listed here or let us look after you in one of our grand and beautiful country houses, listed in the Green Book. Both options offer surprisingly good value for money and a very special experience.
