Family Holiday near Fota

Seve OB

Can anyone please recommend somewhere that would be good to bring the family, mom, dad, 2 girls (5 & 3) + a baby, so would either need to be family hotel room or a holiday home.

looking at going to the Irish Open golf towards end June, so obviously would like to get somewhere within reasonable distance to the golf course.

be ideal to get somewhere with a pool

There is a train from Cork to Fota. Takes about 15 mins.

Might be worth checking out places in the city. You wouldn't have to worry about parking then. The train station is minutes from the city centre.

The Fota Island resort is great idk how close it is to where ever the Irish Open is on though its in Fota. They also have self catering if you can't afford a hotel room in the hotel. Lastly if your staying there see if you can book afternoon tea some day during your stay. Its devine and great value too.

I'd recommend the Quality Hotel in Youghal too. It's right on the beach (Redbarn) and has apartments and holiday homes. If the weather isn't suitable for the beach or onsite playground, it's got a kids club. Very family orientated.

i think Youghal it might be. Had been looking at the quality so it might just be the job

thanks all

During the Irish Open??.Id say the only way you would do it in that time would be in a helicopter.

OP,The Midleton Park hotel and The Radisson Blue in Little Island both have pools/leisure centres and are a lot nearer and convienient to Fota,although you would want to be booking now,I would think.They are also near train stations to take you to Cork city,Fota and Cobh.
