We've self catering holiday cottages in Laois (pronounced "leash") which are dog friendly and ideal for exploring the countryside. It is a tranquil, rural county famous for the unspoiled Slieve Bloom mountains (great for angling, golf and horse riding) but there is also the Donaghmore Famine Workhouse Museum and Irish Fly Fishing + Game Museum (the only one of it's kind in Europe). We have self catering holiday cottages from Mountrath in the Slieve Bloom Mountains through to Ballacolla in the south - ideal for families and some will even allow you to bring pets along.
