Midterm break is fast approaching and many families are trying to plan their days to avoid some of the cries of “I’m boooored”. If your children try this on my first recommendation is to follow my guide here. If you do decide to venture outside the house and engage in…
We visited Marble Arch Caves in Co. Fermanagh last year during midterm break and really enjoyed our visit. It’s the perfect activity for this time of year, and they run a Halloween Spooktacular on the bank holiday weekend. I was surprised how few people had heard of the caves, they’re…
Hotels in Ireland with rooms for families of six It can be difficult to find hotel accommodation in Ireland as a family of six. Most hotels require that you book two rooms, which doubles the bill. Here is a list of hotels that I have independently checked that can accommodate…
We have spent time as a couple in Dungarvan in the past and I had been keen to bring the kids as I knew there was loads to do in the area. We booked a 2BB & 1 Dinner Easter Deal online on The Park Hotel Dungarvan website, there’s an…

Sometimes the thoughts of the whole family sharing one room can be, well, a bit much and having a kitchen can make mealtimes easier and more affordable when you’re travelling with the family. Self-catering is the ideal option, but you end up missing out on hotel amenities. The perfect solution…
Back around the turn of the millennium, when my husband (then boyfriend) and I shared a duplex with two friends from college, we would be awoken from our slumber on Saturday and Sunday mornings to the roars of “vikings” beneath our bedroom window. Our apartment complex was right beside where…
We have three children and struggle to find hotel rooms that can accommodate us in one room. It’s frustrating to say the least, but when the average family in Ireland has 1.38 children (I know, I was surprised too) I guess it makes business sense for hotels. Lots of hotels…
