Summer Short Breaks in Ireland

Looking for a summer short break in Ireland? Discover selected holiday homes available for stays from 2 nights during the busiest summer months. While many peak season bookings require a full week, these properties offer more flexible options for couples, families and last-minute getaways.

Short Breaks in Dingle

Trade the routine for West Kerry air, coastal drives and evenings in one of Ireland’s best-loved towns. Dingle is ideal for food, scenery and a few nights that feel much longer.

Summer Stays in Passage East

Looking for sea views and a slower pace? Passage East offers a relaxed coastal break in County Waterford, perfect for sunny walks, family time and easy summer days.

Escape to Killaloe

Set on the shores of Lough Derg, Killaloe is made for summer short breaks. Think watersports, lakeside strolls, cafés and a great base for exploring Clare and Tipperary.

Peak Season from 2 Nights

Summer usually means weekly stays, but these selected homes are available for shorter breaks. A rare chance to get away in peak season without booking a full week.

Old Court House Holiday Home 4 bed

Ventry Farm Parlour Cottage

Ventry, Co Kerry

"Authentic cottage with simple and adorable accommodations. Walked to the beach and local pub daily. Far enough out of the bustle of Dingle, but close enough to enjoy all it has to offer and at the peak point of the Slea Head loop. Gracious and cheerful hospitality from our hostess!"

Castlemartyr Holiday Lodges

Castlemartyr, Co Cork

"Fantastic, modern designer house. Luxury homes in a luxurious setting, just 20 minutes from Cork. For longer stays of a week or more, it is economical. A house very different from the typical ones in Ireland, which are often quite similar."

Dingle Harbour Cottages

Dingle, County Kerry

"I can’t say enough about our stay at the Dingle Harbour Cottages. First, the cottages are clean and well equipped. The location is perfect. But the customer service was/is spectacular! My son hid his passport while we were there. Deirdre, the property manager, was able to locate it and arranged to have it delivered to us before we had to leave Ireland. Dingle Harbour Cottages have a customer for life."

Heyward Mews

Swords, Co Dublin

"The property has an excellent location with close proximity to the M50, the airport, and shopping areas, yet it is surrounded by nature and golf courses. The manager, Mr. Mark Hurley, is very helpful and knowledgeable. He made sure our stay was comfortable and was always reachable if needed. The property is well managed and clean. Thanks to the cleaning staff for preparing it for our stay. We would love to stay here again in the future. Kindly maintain the good standards!"

Ballybunion Holiday Cottage No 21

Ballybunion, Co Kerry

"House was very clean, with two recently renovated bathrooms, both with electric showers and wall heaters. Beds were very comfortable. Wifi and a smart TV in the sitting room were brilliant for the showery days. The orientation of the house meant sunshine filled the kitchen and sitting room throughout the day, keeping it warm. There were heaters in the rooms, but we did not need to use them. Lovely walk up and down to the beach every day. Would happily stay here again!"

We loved staying here for ten days. Communication with the manager was very good via WhatsApp, and she was always helpful if anything was needed."
