Nothing can make your holiday more fun than the happiness of a dog especially if you are travelling alone. Your four-legged friend will be the life and soul of your Irish holiday – bringing endless fun to strolls along the beach and walks through the forest.

8. The best co-pilot

Why? They let you pick the music and they won’t make fun of your singing. ‘Are we there yet’ I’m sure is a phrase too often heard but a dog can help entertain and distract your children on long journeys to your dog friendly holiday home.

9. An excuse to explore
