Hi,
Check prices with Stena and P&O both sail from Scotland direct to N. Ireland. They may have free caravan offers on some crossings, which would keep costs down.
Irish ferries have crossings from Wales to S. Ireland so if you browse through their websites it will give you an idea of prices.
The cost of the ferry will be the same no matter how long you stay. Also the two clubs have offers for ferry crossings, worth checking out. We are members of the CCC and find them very good with prices.
You can also use Tesco vouchers, as all of the above ferry companies still take them for Irish sea crossings.
Campsites are on average £25 per night, probably allow a bit more for next years increase.
Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!
We are looking to visit Ireland in August next year 2011. We are not sure if a three week break is much more expensive than a two weeker. We could stay just inside Northern Ireland and visit the West coast as some-one advised on an earlier post. We will be traveling from Somerset, has anyone else done this recently and where did you pick up the ferry? I will try to price everything up but can anyone give us a ball park figure for the trip over plus a two week stay on a site with toilets & showers? I know it's a long shot but any advice will help us make up our minds.
Cheers All - Dick & Liz
I did the opposite July 10' I went from N. Ireland to Somerset! (Buckland Dinham) - I went Belfast Liverpool, could have gone Dublin Wales but at the time it was cheaper for the Belfast route. It was £230 (no caravan though, I was tenting) although I found out I could have saved 7% with Norfolkline if I'd booked through Quidco. You may as well stay the three weeks if you can bear the £20 a night or so site fees.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
