\n\u2022 Be realistic in what you can afford
\n\u2022 Is it more affordable in terms of time and finances to go away on honeymoon a few months after the wedding?
\n\u2022 Discuss the options available \u2013 would you like relaxation & beach?
\n\u2022 Is a 3 week safari or sky diving more your idea of a great honeymoon?

\n\u2022 Do you need to get vaccinations before you honeymoon?
\n\u2022 Is a city break in Europe more feasible for you \u2013 Paris, Barcelona, Venice?

For many couples \u201cmini moons\u201d are a popular option. Budget constraints, children at home, and hectic work schedules have all meant that couples simply don\u2019t have the choice of having a month long adventure around the world. There are some spectacular honeymoon choices in Ireland, whether it\u2019s a rugged island or a romantic hotel.<\/p>\n

Gregan\u2019s Castle<\/a> in the heart of the Burren in Co. Clare is one such place. Gregan\u2019s Castle is a luxurious haven, nestled in the hills, overlooking the Burren and the Clare countryside. Irish hospitality, relaxation and food are at their best here.<\/p>\n

Likewise the Cliff House Hotel<\/a>\u00a0in Ardmore, Co. Waterford is a beautiful location. It is sewn into the Waterford coast and days and indeed evenings could be spent looking out to sea. The spa at the Cliff House Hotel will leave you feeling completely revitalized after any wedding stress.<\/p>\n

If you would prefer something more outdoors investigate the yurts on Cape Clear<\/a>, off the coast of West Cork.\u00a0Imagine the balmy evenings on the tranquility of Cape Clear, watching the world go by.<\/p>\n

Have you ever thought of honeymooning in a lighthouse? Crookhaven Lighthouse<\/a> offers accommodation with a difference and is reaped in fascinating history.<\/p>\n

Whatever you choose for your honeymoon make sure you are both happy with your decision. Compromise and don\u2019t put yourselves under pressure. The most important thing is that you have time together after you wedding to enjoy the memories of your special day.<\/p>\n
