Thinking of heading away on a weekday break this November

Was looking at this hotel, Ice House Hotelm for spa treatments etc in Ballina with the woman, anyone been or recommend it?

Where else in Mayo or down that part of the country I could stay mid week with a nice hotel and some activities?

Totally recommend it been a few times, on the pricey side of pricey but it is a lovely spot.

Can get 2 nights next Wednesday and Thursday, includes bed and vreakfast, 3 course meal one night and 60 minutes spa treatment for 2 people.  Price is Euro 243 per person.  That seems good enough right?  Seems like a very fancy place.

Much to do about Ballina and the surrounding areas during the day / at night etc..

Friends of the missus have been there - "not cheap" was the feedback! The hoors charge €50 in for a family (2 adults + 3 children) then charge again for all manned rides (another €2 to €4 a pop) so the costs soon mount up. Apart from that I think it was alright.

Excellent video taken by 2 Canadians as they traveled through Ireland.

Went yesterday (Monday) it was packed, it is some setup. My kids 4 and 6 loved it. it was 40.00 for two adults and 2 kids. We only paid extra for one thing, (I'm miserable like that) we had to wait 20 minutes or so for it. You got to see the factory in operation. We were 5.5 hours there and couldn't fault it. I overheard one womwn say to her daughter "now this is the last 25 euro you are getting in tokens! If your kids are older it's going to add up.

Might give it a blast. If it's shit I'll know who to blame.

There was a mighty amount of yellow regs around! Watch the weather if it's dry and your kids aren't afraid of heights its excellent. I don't know what it would be like if it's wet.

Thinking of taking the wife and childer away for a long weekend, but looking for somewhere within reasonable distance.  Was thinking of Wicklow (motorway nearly the whole way).  Seems to be plenty outdoory type things to do, but if it rains all weekend is there anything?

Probably similar just a bit more moist.
