The Irish Summer is back for round two and as clammy as it is, we might as well enjoy it while it lasts.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who's spent the past week or so in a sweaty office, waiting desperately for the dusty pedestal fan to finally swing around to the corner I'm perched in, dreaming of hurling myself directly into the sea once 5:30pm hits. It's at times like this your mind starts to wander, and you start Googling things like "how many Airbnbs with outdoor pools are there in Ireland". Just me? Well, prepare yourself to get on my level - here are the findings.
Leitrim
This picturesque cottage in the Northwest of Ireland comes fully equipped with hot tub, sauna and 25m natural swimming pool completely filled with fresh Irish rainwater. A truly unique spot for an icy dip if you're brave enough - you can book yourself in
