When you come to Ireland vacation time seems like time spent in heaven.

A land steeped in mystery, history, magic and legend, Ireland draws enchanted visitors to its shores every year from all corners of the globe.

"The startling colours in the streets of Kinsale. You'll find many Irish towns and villages have streets painted like this. Beautiful in the Summer, and brings a touch of colour to the greyest Winter day"

From the bustling cosmopolitan centre of Dublin, wild mountains, golden beaches and crashing Atlantic storms against the rocks of the West coast... to the breathtaking views across the emerald fields of West Cork... Ireland has something for everyone.

You want to stay in a centuries-old cottage? A lighthouse? Or a castle? Or an ultra-modern luxury hotel from the legendary Ritz-Carlton chain, with a restaurant by Gordon Ramsay himself?

Ireland has it all, and it's here waiting for you... waiting to be discovered.

Sarah and I, your hosts, came to Ireland on vacation ourselves... and immediately fell in love with the timeless magic of the Emerald Isle. By the time we had to leave... we knew this was truly where we belonged.

"The wilds of Ireland. Driving through the winding lanes, you'll want to stop frequently and take in the views."
