The regulations are changing as we go through this Pandemic. But rest assured that Self-Catering in a holiday home is the safest, most

comfortable,  best value for money and relaxing way to holiday in Ireland. When you get the rate for a house calculate the cost by

• number nights staying
• the number of people  in your party.

Most self-catering houses are for 1 -3 bedrooms but you can also find larger house with 4- 6 bedrooms, or a group of holiday homes beside one another for extended family groups to stay in. From November 2021 onwards you will be able to book directly with owners on the LetsGoSelfCatering.ie website. This will allow you to choose the areas of the country, the type of property, the number of guests in your group and choose from the properties on offer.
