Reserve a child-friendly holiday cottage in Ireland that has swings

When going on holiday with children it is important that there are plenty of things to keep them entertained. All children enjoy playing outside and would spend hours playing in the garden if you let them! So when you next go on a short break or holiday to Ireland, you should choose a holiday home that has swings in the garden. These are perfect for children to play on and it allows them to be outdoors, in a safe and secure place whilst you relax in the garden or indoors watching over them.

There are a number of child-friendly cottages and holiday homes scattered around Ireland available for short breaks and week-long holidays, and offer you a beautiful home away from home with a garden with swings. Holiday cottage complexes offer child-friendly self-catering accommodation in numerous beautiful locations. You may choose to stay along the shores of County Meath with picturesque sea views just a short walk away from the beach, in coastal County Cork, Kerry or scenic Donegal. Many Irish holiday homes specialise in family breaks and have beautiful gardens that have swings for children and various other items of play equipment including a trampoline, sand pit or climbing frame.

Family summer breaks in County Wicklow

Did you know that there is a Hollywood in County Wicklow?  It used to be called Killinkeyvin and is just a hamlet, however, wouldn’t it be fun to tell people that you are planning to holiday in Hollywood? This is also a very good horse riding destination for family treks across the hills. The hamlet is on the Wicklow Film Trail that you could explore as part of a day out.

Glenealo Valley is a short drive down the R756 from Hollywood. It is well worth going to the Spink viewing spot for spectacular views over Glendalough down the valley. Take the children to visit the miner’s village and mine that stand on the northern side of the lake for a look back in time. The Wicklow Mountains National park is also an excellent place for outdoor activities to keep a family busy.

 

Hollywood is just under an hour’s drive from Dublin so that a day out in the city is still feasible.
