Places to Visit during Short Breaks in Ireland 

With so many places to discover and explore, you’re bound to have a wonderful time during a stay at one of these properties for Ireland mini breaks. 

For example, County Cork can make for an excellent place to consider staying. Found in the South West of Ireland, it’s the country’s largest county and a magnet for international tourists. Home to the bustling city of Cork, here we’d highly recommend taking a drive into the city to visit the famous English Market, as well as some of its popular attractions like the Cork City Gaol if you have the time! 

Another brilliant place to consider booking weekend breaks in Ireland is County Wicklow, found in the East of Ireland, just south of the capital. Known for its impressive mountain range, it makes for an excellent place to escape to if you’re planning to do lots of hiking and countryside walks. On a clear day, you might even be able to spot the mountains of Snowdonia in North Wales if you’re high up enough!
