These days I am a big fan of self-catering holidays but to be honest it’s not something I would have thought about a few years ago. Yes, I do still like the odd hotel break; a night or two away with your partner never did anyone any harm! But what about travelling with a family? Which is the more practical choice?

Mayo, Ireland
So where are we holidaying next summer? Are we going to give Ireland another chance or are we going to head to sunnier climates? I think the question, in our current economic state, is what is going to be the best value?!

We are all little children inside, come
Christmas morning! We are fooling ourselves by thinking that having that “must have” gift under the tree on Christmas morning isn’t what Christmas is all about. Of course that’s what Christmas is about! Christmas is about the only time of year you are guaranteed won’t be forgotten. You don’t have months of nationwide hype in the months leading up to your birthday, do you? No! So it can and quite often is somewhat forgotten, so when you are onto a sure thing like a gift at Christmas, it had better be a good one!

I thought I would let you in on a little secret! Dream Ireland still has availability at their Lodges at the Shannon Oaks Hotel, Portumna, this Christmas. So if you want to spend this Christmas tucked away in a cosy log cabin, have your turkey and ham delivered to your door or indeed have Christmas Day lunch served to you for a change… Then this is the place to be this Christmas!

Where will you find a Santa’s Grotto that shows children the real meaning of Christmas?
…Killarney!
For the past 3 years over 5,000 children have queued for hours, their excitement filling the air around Deenagh Lodge in the Killarney National Park. What could have these children so excited? Well, firstly they are waiting in anticipation to enter Santa’s Grotto, to meet Santa, Mrs. Claus and the elves, but something makes this visit extra special - these kids are not anxious to see what gifts Santa has for them, instead, these special little children are helping Santa by bringing along a gift to add to Santa’s sleigh, so that less fortunate children throughout Kerry will wake up to the magic of Christmas spirit this Christmas morning. This coupled with the impromptu Christmas carolling (which in previous years has been initiated to help pass away the time) makes this the ideal way to begin your Christmas Season.
