Stay in an Irish Farmhouse
Few countries stir the soul quite like Ireland, and the good news is you don’t have to possess any Gaelic blood to be touched by the country’s unique blend of rugged coastline, windswept fields, dark mountains, warm hospitality and that indefinable Irish quality, the craic. The Irish farmhouse stands as a symbol of all these things and more. Whether or not you stay in the wild beauty of the south-west, the bracing fresh air of the north-west coast and Donegal Bay or the brooding romanticism of the Wicklow mountains in the south-east, the farmhouse will be the perfect base from which to sample the Irish lifestyle at first hand and explore the area. It has an authenticity that no hotel can ever evoke, and usually comes with the kind of breakfast you can have dreams about: fruit, followed by light porridge and cream, then a fry-up of bacon, sausage, egg, tomato, black and white pudding and mushrooms, all mopped up with the local soda bread and washed down by a pot of tea. As a way of setting you up for your day of adventures, it cannot be beaten.
