Where to stay in West of Ireland?

Question

I was thinking of taking my mum, sis & her 2 babies away 4 few days in the summer for a well earned break, & as they are very wee was thinking somewhere within driving distance of Co. Down, i.e. the west such as Donegal. I don't want to have to spend a fortune, so staying in a mobile home somewhere would be ideal, and we'd also have our own space as kids r a handful & hotel really wouldn't suit. Renting a house is also really dear!! Any ideas where 2 stay?

Allo Allo my little sausage,

                                           You are having some lovely thoughts about giving your family a break in my part of our beautiful country, you refer to driving, from County Down, a really beautiful County in its own right, but you would like to come way out west, at the driving wheel, Great, leave your car at home and hire yourselves a camper van, do your own shopping and go Camper driving, Bord Failte' would advise you of all the campsites available with hook-up facilities anywhere in Ireland.

                  You could almost stop and re-start your journeys almost wherever you want to, and not be confused with any of the travelling fraternity, and the same Bord Failte' on where to get the Static caravan sites too, and how to get there. If you can stretch your trip to a week, two things will happen, first, the caravan rates may well be cheaper,and second, we would have ye all here with us for longer, and that has to be, well worth the time spent amongst us all. You can really trust Bord Failte' to find you a lovely caravan, well situated, and above all, in a safe and well presented environment to tire out the children for you, with all the adventures they would find on such Caravan sites. You could almost choose your own beach with the amount of them we have on our side of the country, and lots of wonderful pleasant memories would be deeply implanted into everyones mind too, just, for what you are thinking of doing for your Mum and the rest of the Family you would like to take with you, and of course, the childrens memories will last the longest, so don't forget the camera, and loads of film, for lots of pictures. Keep the pictures from the children and give them copies of them on their wedding days. happy tears again on those special days too, and one more point, my little Sausage, it will all be, because you made it happen, Please stay safe and be happy...Good Luck now...Tony M

Answer 4

Achill is a lovely spot in the West of Ireland but I don't know if there are mobile homes there. The B&B rate is very reasonable.

Answer 5

Galway is a beautiful small port city with a humungous river flowing through it. Some great pubs and an excellent fish restaurant.

Answer 6

Donegals in northern Ireland.

Go to Mayo. Achills lovely.

Answer 7

County Down is a good day's journey by car away from Donegal - these are Irish roads you're talking about.

Bundoran is supposed to be a family-friendly seaside town, so there would no doubt be at least one caravan park you could try. A website you could try is www.local.ie.

You could also look at Ballybunion in the SW, or Spanish Point. There is a beach called White Strand just off the road from Miltown Malbay to Lahinch, with a caravan park beside it. But Miltown Malbay/Spanish Point will be very busy in early July with the summer school that takes place there.
