Youghal is a seaside resort in County Cork in Ireland and its beaches are so wide and spacious they would make any town envious. Although it is very popular with tourists, you won’t feel crowded when staying in a serviced apartment in Youghal – the beaches seem to stretch on forever and they have blue flags as well, which is another bonus. Youghal isn’t just another beach resort though. There is much more to the town than that, as a stay in one of Youghal’s holiday rentals will show.

Youghal has been occupied many times in its existence, first by the Vikings and then by the Normans. Walter Ralegh’s home there, Myrtle Grove, is still standing and you must be sure to visit it when staying in a Youghal holiday let. The guide will assure you that the first cigarette in Europe was smoked here, let along the first potato being eaten. You will have to decide for yourself if those stories are true! Renting a Youghal holiday apartment means getting used to hearing some Irish blarney. For example, in the church you will find a memorial to Margaret, Countess of Desmond, who died aged 147 – in a fall from a tree!

An apartment rental in Youghal gives you the chance to try various sports, such as salmon fishing in the Blackwater, which is one of Ireland’s premier salmon rivers. Should this prove more difficult than expected, you could always visit one of the town’s restaurants and get your salmon that way. You need never go hungry whilst staying in a Youghal city centre (center) apartment as there are plenty of places serving typical Irish food and all kinds of other cuisine.

There are several country and wildlife parks in the area and these are great places to visit if you have children staying with you in a Youghal serviced flat. They will enjoy any of them, but perhaps the drive to the Fota wildlife park will be the best day out. Only the cheetahs have conventional fencing around them – probably just as well – so you really feel as though you are in amongst the animals.

There is something about staying in a Youghal aparthotel which gives the holiday a special something that you will take back home with you. The beaches seem to meet the huge sky and the wide open spaces really clear the mind, as well as the clean air being good for the body.

Serviced and self-catered apartments, flats, holiday lets and aparthotels can be up to 30% cheaper than most equivalent hotel rooms and are becoming increasingly popular due to the freedom they offer. Whether it’s a short stay apartment you are looking for or a long term apartment, our holiday apartments combine all the amenities and comforts of home.  With plenty of room why stay in a cramped hotel room when you can stay in spacious surroundings in and around Youghal.
