Hi all,

we have the 1st week in September off and are thinking of spending it in Ireland (fingers crossed for the sunshine!). Hoping to stay somewhere a little different (not Kerry / Cork), that has good pubs, restaurants and scenery close. Maybe lakeside / mountain accomodation or coastal?

Has anyone any good receommendations for that somewhere a 'little different'? Preferably self catering...
 
The landmark trust has castles etc. for rent - all self catering I think. Certainly a little different! Depends on how many you are - there are v few for e.g. 2 people

Sprite
 
We have had a lot of luck with the Hidden Ireland website - they have some amazing and definitely 'different' self catering properties!
 
I think I remember that you can rent lighthouses that are not longer in use (the land based ones obviously). Might be very different and will certainly have a view!
 
Thanks guys - yes, just 2 of us (at the moment anyway!). I had a look at the landmark trust wesbite and there's a few of us getting together to rent a castle next March, should be fun. Will try Hidden Ireland and Trinity Island for a browse.. thanks.
 
Recently I spent a few nights in Lough rynn castle in Leitrim, brought bikes up and did plenty of cycling round the area, the package we got also include a cruise on the Shannon, afternoon tea in the gardens of the castle, very good value and I must say its a good as anywhere we’ve stayed in Ireland.
 
Good luck with your searches, but if it's only the two of you, Trinityisland will work out expensive.
 
Special Note: There are 109 steps to the kitchen on the top floor...

might be a bit of hardwork for a week !

Never thought of that Briancbyrne - will do a search and see how the prices work out. As a general rule, is it expensive?

Cant be exact but I seem to remember it being around 800 - 1000 for a week - you can bring bikes, with you aswell. Can also have small fishing boat towed behind - also if you have dog - they can be brought
