A self catering cottage break in Ireland would be brilliant with a group of people. think of all the after hours merriment in the pub with a good crowd. Ireland is not as cheap as it once used to be, especially in the Republic which has the Euro. Self catering in a rented holiday home makes things hat bit cheaper and not too much hassle if there is a rota for the group to take turns to cook and wash up afterwards.

With the right mix of people, a cottage break in Ireland could be amazing. Ireland is known for its golf courses, salmon fishing - indeed some people go there specially to fish.
