    I don't get away often, I like to save up a have a decent hotel even if its for one night.
    Myself and the OH are in Killarney, there is a jucuzzi in our bedroom ( in the actual room, not bathroom) with a lovely view if the mountains out the window
    So tell us, your posh get aways....

    Premier inn Dublin airport.

    When I stay there it means I'm going somewhere the next day.

    If you camped in a tent at knock airport would you give it similar appraisal?

    The Brehon in Killarney


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,032 ✭✭✭SmokeyEyes


    Hayfield Manor in Cork is easily the nicest hotel we've stayed in.

    Lake Hotel, Killarney


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,568 ✭✭✭candy-gal1


    Itd be a toss up between Premier Inn - Hotel St George - The Westin, all incrdable places, lovely rooms, relaxing and plenty of awesome movieage on tv!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 770 ✭✭✭viztopia

    In my experience the 'best' facilities don't always equate to the 'best' hotel.

    Best hotel I've stayed in is the Quality in Clonakilty - facilities are so-so (good gym) but the staff are brilliant - consistently the best I've met.


    Wineport Lodge was probably the nicest in terms of location and rooms.

    The Twelve in Barna


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,380 ✭✭✭✭Banjo String


    Killashee in Naas has to be one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in.


    Stayed in it a good few times now, had my wedding reception there also.

    Heads up lads.... There's a bath in the middle of the bridal suite. (in case your bride stinks)

    Powerscourt House Hotel. Just, wow. The most stunning hotel, room as big as a house, fantastic spa, and beautiful food.

    The Four Seasons in dublin would be a close second (though I head it's not what it once was).

    Other noteable mentions; Radisson Farnham Estate Cavan, Druids Glen Wicklow, Lyrath Estate in Wicklow for the cinema and breakfast, and brook lodge for the cosines and the food.

    (I like food).

    Best B&B Desmond House in Kinsale!

    I really want to stay in Lough Eske. Have that on my list!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 113 ✭✭stoutykid


    Has to be either The Westbury in Dublin or Castlemartyer Estate Cork....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,422 ✭✭✭kollegeknight


    I found the G in Galway a great room but the service lacking the night we stayed.

    Stayed in the marker in Dublin the night of the AI hurling replay last year and I found it to be amazing.

    Anno Santo in Galway


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,318 ✭✭✭✭Menas


    We are working our way thru the Bluebook. Not hotels in the strictest definition of the word, but a massive WOW factor.
    Highly recommended if you have a few quid to burn....or generous family at christmas time!

    Is it the Lake Hotel? Europe? I'm from Killarney and worked in a few of the hotels when I was in school/college. Only ever stayed in about 3 hotels in Ireland though...all pretty basic! :o
