When choosing a holiday in Ireland there is none more flexible and fun than a barge trip. Below we have listed 20 of the best reasons (in our opinion) to choose to spend a few nights aboard a beautiful Irish barge


Reasons to choose a Barge Holiday:

  1. Relaxing. A barge allows you to travel at a leisurely pace through the Irish countryside, taking your time while enjoying the beautiful Irish countryside

  2. Comfort . A barge really is a home from home with all the conveniences of modern life, a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and living area.

  3. Dogs can go too. Our barges are a fantastic option for a dog friendly Irish holiday. Unlike most dog friendly holiday homes, we do not charge extra for your four legged friends. Also, dogs love seeing the Irish wildlife in a way the have probably never seen before.

  4. Scenic Views. On a barge, you are right there with nature. Gently travelling through the wonderful Irish countryside, seeing a totally unique view that cany be captured from any vehicle other than a barge.

  5. Convenience, Cook, sleep, wash and relax all while traveling the canal at your own pace.

  6. Family friendly

  7. Cost effective. While the initial outlay may seem high, it is worth nothing your travel, accommodation and power is included. The ability to cook and prepare family meals will also be a huge cost saving.

  8. No speed limit
