When it comes to our summer holidays, staying in Ireland can be a very attractive option for many families.
Not only does it eliminate the stress and cost of organising flights for the whole brood, it can also give you the opportunity of spending time with some of your friends and relations.
Hotel prices can tend to be prohibitive during the peak summer season but the growing popularity of rental platforms like AirBnB means that there are plenty of other options.
