An important reminder for the loved up - Valentine's day is less than two days away.
With millions of couples worldwide set to turn up the heat this Thursday, we decided to think outside the box when it comes to the potential best Valentine's gift... and what did we come up with? Time together. And where better to spend time together than here in Ireland, in some of the quirkiest, coolest and most romantic and affordable Air BnBs.
Here's some that caught our eyes while browsing around.
1. Cozy City Treehouse Retreat, Kilkenny
"A true rural retreat in an urban setting. This warm & cosy treehouse is a beautifully decorated, calm and relaxing space surrounded by bird song. One of a kind."
2. Tig Admaid: Woodland cabin with hot-tub jacuzzi in Kenmare Co. Kerry
"Watch the otters, sea birds and wild deer from your deck overlooking the beach."
3. Bellevue House Panoramic Lake Views
"Panoramic views to die for."
4. The Times: Best Irish Cottage! Pets OK
"The cottage sits in the heart of the Irish-speaking Gaeltacht in what is probably the most traditional area of Ireland. You can walk down to the beach from the cottage and you're unlikely to see another tourist, maybe just a lobster fisherman or one of the friendly, farmer neighbours."
5. Urban Tranquilatree.
"This is a real tree house, fully insulated, supported by real trees 6m off the ground. It is south facing with spectacular views over Cork city. It is situated in our garden but is screened from our house by trees affording privacy."
6. Times: 'Best Get Away in Ireland' Hobbit HillPod €69 per night
"An amazing contemporary mountain pod inspired by Irish archaeology. This bespoke 'one-off' retreat is a perfect 'minimoon'/Honeymoon destination in a wilderness landscape."
7. Riverside House 'Shepherd's Hut'
"It has un-spoilt views of the river and is a stone's throw from the village where you'll find various local amenities including restaurants and pubs and only a 10 minute drive to Westport."
8. ATLANTIC VIEW BOUTIQUE COUNTRY HOUSE
" Have a relaxing evening by the open fireplace, a glass of wine in the private bar or a game of pool".
9. Mayo Glamping - Liosachan (Hobbit Hut)
"Ever wondered what it would be like to live like a hobbit under ground? Our little, earth covered house is nice and toasty, sleeps up to 4 people (1 double bed, 1 day bed)."
