My day was made when I was allowed to stroke a horse. The National Stud offers more than the horses though as it is also the site of the Japanese Gardens. This is a beautiful expression in gardening form of East meeting West. If you have kids, this is a brilliant way to spend a day as the open areas will give them lots of room to romp in.

If you haven't been to Strandhill in Sligo, what are ya doin with your life?! Cmon like really!!…read moreIt's such a cute little spot. Just about two hours from Dublin, and you're on the wild west coast, though not wild enough that it doesn't have some of the best food in Ireland on your doorstep, and cracking activities for all ages and persuasions - surfing, horse riding, hiking and the rest. If you're gonna say you can't afford a weekend away, think again. It was 20 euro each for a 4 bed dorm (there were 4 of us, so not a problem) If you really wanna do it cheap, they have toast and cereal for free in the morning, free wifi, free surfboard storage, a nice kitchen and cosy sitting room. It's got a real homely feel - it's not fancy by any stretch of the imagination, but it did remind me of being in my granny's house down the country. Really welcoming and friendly, and totally casual. It's about a two minute walk to the beach as well, the same distance to Shell's (you will be eating here three times a day guaranteed - see my other review!), and right across from two lovely pubs. All in all, cheap as chips, cosy, friendly & gorgeously situated. What more could you need?

Excellent facility and very friendly staff! A very busy environment but lots to do for all!read more
