Irish summer breaks with two toddlers.

DamienDarts

Hello all, I'm just wondering where are good options for hotels or breaks away in Ireland for the summer.

We have stayed in banna beach holiday resort a few times and its great but I'm just wondering what other places are there like banna that have plenty for the kids to do.

Im thinking plenty to do for toddlers and maybe a bit of evening entertainment or something.

Trablolgan in Cork and banna beach holiday resort in Tralee are the ones I know about.

Our toddlers are 1 and 2 and a half.


Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks

Quality hotel in Youghal. It's not fancy but is designed for family holidays

Clonakilty Park Hotel.
Fota park, rent houses or apartments.
House rental anywhere near a beach I'd say.

Would second clonakilty, but i think it books up very early. Probably a bit better for older kids in terms of activity (kids club etc), but a great set up.
I’ve never stayed, but one of the hotels in Gorey in Wexford is meant to be great for families. Might be the amber springs, i can’t remember. There’s another in Ross Lare. Sorry for my vagueness!

Kelly's in Rosslare. Pricey though.

Second this, have stayed here a few times, located right on the beach.

It is pricey but seconding it.

We've booked a holiday home in rosslare for a week through Trident holiday homes. Think about €750 for a week in mid July (Saturday to Saturday) for a 3 bed house. 5 minute walk to the beach, 10 minutes walk to Rosslare town centre. We did book it in January though so availability / prices may be a bit sparse at this stage. Our two will be almost one and almost 2 and a half.

Have a look at the newpark hotel in Kilkenny too!

I would second the Quality Hotel in Youghal. Have also heard good things about the Amber Springs in Wexford. Both are often on Pigsback with special offers.

Midleton Park in Cork, nice hotel, they do family packages that include passes for fota etc, Cork is great for kids; tons to do.

Thanks for all your help.
I'm in Cork so I was thinking of places outside of Cork.
I have stayed in the clonakilty and youghal hotels and they are great for kids.
I tried kellys I think but it's booked up for the summer with only a few days the start of July available.

I had suggested the newpark in Kilkenny because I’d heard it was great, but i was there myself the other day for a family event, and they have an amazing set up outside for smallies. Sandpit, petting zoo, playground etc. Go karts for older kids! And it’s really well fenced off too, so super safe.

Ok I'm going to book new park so thanks very much.
Sounds absolutely perfect and it's somewhere different , thanks.

Oh great! I don’t know what the pool situation is. Just occurred to me, a pool might be important to you, I didn’t notice if there was one or not!

I heard amazing things anout the Newpark Hotel.
Another one that is meant to be really good is the Dingle Skellig in Kerry.

Fota Park is great for the whole family!
