Farm holidays and Farmstays in Ireland

The peat is still cut for open fires in rural Ireland and left to dry before being brought in to burn during the evenings or winter months. A holiday on a farm in Ireland could be in one of the many isolated whitewashed cottages where you can discover true solitude and begin to unwind.

The Irish are friendly by nature and love to make friends. It's a good type of holiday for discovering a little of Ireland, your hosts would make you welcome and enjoy telling you about their farm and the countryside around them. If you are fortunate with your choice of farm there may be the opportunity to obtain fresh farm produce and perhaps organic ingredients.

Go for day trips to nearby towns and villages, sample the delight of the local pub, and if your farm cottage is near the coast, a day or two on the beach.
