Hotels in Ireland

Lough Rynn is very nice. Make sure you get one of the rooms in the converted stables as they are much bigger and a bit nicer than the standard room. The restaurant is excellent, fantastic food, great service and an excellent wine list.

Would that be the eastern range classic or estate managers classic?

From memory its the estate managers classic. You could always see if they would upgrade you to a suite. They will if they arent busy/have no weddings on.

Cheers might actually do that, it's the wedding anniversary plus she will be pretty close to calving then so would hope to get the sympathy vote!!

Save your money and go see Luka instead. At least he wont ask you to be quiet.

I see the hotels in Ballybofey are doing their bit to promote tourism by raising their prices this weekend.

Anyone have a hotel for Belfast. Missus birthday in late april and she has suggested Belfast for a night or two.

I think there is a more comprehensive thread than this but the Gaa Board search facility is brutal

Depends what you are looking for. The Culloden is nice, very quiet and a bit out of the way. Probably wont see too many Monaghan GAA tops in the bar, or even Antrim tops for that matter, but its a nice hotel with good food.

If ye can get some type of deal on the Merchant, she'll be well impressed with ye

Malmaison is nice too and decent location

I'm stumped. You're in 'blaney and you're prepared to pay to stay in Belfast for a night (even 2!). A taxi home would be cheaper.

Jays, if she insists.

As for Trevor Hill and his Culloden suggestion.....try the Canal Court in Newry and bus it to Belfast.

Take your pick of Belfast hotels. The Merchant is probably the best but, by Christ, have a good aul think about it first.

I think the fact that Belfast is now seen as an acceptable city break destination is more shocking than anything.

Its a night away, no kids (not too far away to get back if needed), can have a meal, few drinks, do the shopping thing (for her), relax and enjoy.

Some really nice hotels about and with the current economic climate some fantastic deals to be availed of.

For what its worth I'll mention a few from my recent experience.

Cashel House Hotel, Connemara. Absolutely stunning. Not cheap but its really worth going to. Food was magic. Such a relaxing place too.

Lough Rynn, Mohill - I'd go along with all said already about it here. Have stayed there a few times and they do some great deals. Restaurant and bar food excellent. Would place it just ahead of its sister hotel Kilronan Castle.

Knockranny House Hotel, Westport - had a grand stay there the weekend of the Ireland/France game debacle. We got a massive room/suite. Enjoyed the spa facilities and the food was fantastic as well. Got a great deal there pricewise. Again, not cheap but for what you get its not bad value at all.

Went on a recent break to Dublin with the missus and younster. Was crapping myself a bit that it would cost a fortune with her shopping and the prices down there. But actually worked rreally well. She did plenty of window shopping, realised we could get it 30% cheaper in Belfast and bought nothing. Happy days.
