Hotels in Ireland

[on the sideline]

Family wedding in Ballybofey coming up in a few weeks. Had booked single room in Jacksons about 6 weeks ago, as i hadnt planned on taking anyone.  Started seeing someone about a month ago, and asked her to the wedding there at the weekend, rang Jacksons to see about changing the room to a double and they're fully booked.  Same with the Villa Rose.
Couple of questions:
1. Can two people stay in a single room in a hotel?
2. Has anyone ever tried this in Jacksons? And was it ok? i.e. any hassle with the hotel

I believe it's Rule 1 you are in breech of here.

Throw up a photo of the new blade and we'll discuss Rule #1 afterwards.

Forget that Rule #1. The real Rule #1 is that you can't refer to a specific female without backing it up with a picture.

Is the wedding in Jacksons? If so you should be okay. If it's up in Keys or somewhere else you might have difficulty getting the two of you in at early hours as they have a security guard on the front door.

Tony if I was do do that I wouldn't have this problem anymore, cos there'd be no woman left to take!

With staying at home and not really interested in going abroad for a while I was looking at hotels for overnight stays or weekend breaks

Christ the night they are some price now, Slieve Donard has gone up in price somewhat since changing hands. I don't mind spending a few quid but it's taking the piss as is the likes of the Galgorm group

We got the Slieve Donard for a fairly standard price (£250 per room B&B for not-a-basic room) in early Jan.  Interested to see if the standards have slipped, as I've read.

A great place we enjoy (but doesn't have a pool) and that is usually pretty ok rates-wise is the Portmarnock Hotel.

The problem I have is I'm bloody spoilt with work do's or conferences in the past, things ya aint paying for lol..

Was looking at The Salthouse in Ballycastle, seems expensive but views look great and the food 'looks' lovely

I hear ya.  My last work conference was in Lake Como...

The Salthouse keeps popping up in my searches too. 

The newly redone Templeton looks pretty nice, but can't imagine going for a break to Templepatrick.

The templeton is lovely though, we'd a wedding there in the summer and stayed, was very good, they are still doing stuff to it but I'd say most of the spa has been completed, friends room had an outside bath/jacuzzi thingy..

MR have fairly average reports of The Salthouse when you get last the lure of the views. We were in Slieve Donard at the start of the year and it was alright.  The spa area was partially closed so that part was a bit crap. It's prob still out favourite and when things settle we'll be back. Harvey's Point a few months ago and it was really lovely but that drive is a pain in the hole.
