Rochestown HOtel is Cork is meant to be a nice hotel.
Get on to the supervalue breaks website and you may get some great 2 day breaks etc.
Dirty weekend I presume ?

The Hogson Bay hotel in Athlone is a lovely spot. It's a bit family orientated but it's a good spot with loads to do. http://www.hodsonbayhotel.com/ ------------- It was far across the sea, When the devil got a hold of me, He wouldn't set me free, So he kept me soul for ransom. na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na.

I know it's a bit far, but Aghadoe Heights in Killarney is a smashing place, we availed of Supervalu Points for our anniversary last August and got it at half price but it's a lovely hotel. ------------- We'll never die, we'll never die, we'll keep the Green Flag flying high......Shamrock Rovers will never die, we'll keep the Green Flag Flying high. 19 Leagues and 25 Cups..... |

Oh my God I just had a look I want to go there. They are also doing a mid week deal 170 each for 2 night and you get a room upgrade too. Whats the story with these Supervalue points ? Are they similar to the Superquinn points thingy ?

No it isnt. Cork is further. I think that one in Kerry that FW suggested might get my vote I wouldnt mind travelling that extra little bit to stay somewhere really nice if I got a good deal

Me and herself stayed there about a year or so ago. We got that room with the jacuzzi bath by the window , my advice is just get the one with the jacuzzi in the bathroom cos u cant c the lakes when ur in it.The lake view rooms are unreal and the deer come out from the woods behind onto the lawn in the evening. Its pure class |

Myself and the gf stayed in the harbour hotel in Galway before. It's nice, the food is savage and I think it's about a 10 minute walk from Eyre Square. They do good deals as well sometimes, a hell of a lot cheaper than the G hotel. Pretty much anywhere in Kilkenny is good as well and it's a great town for the craic. Or if you want to come to a country town that's like a cross between the Hardy Bucks and Father Ted at the weekends then come to Durrow! We've 2 grand hotels and there's no closing time in the pubs! ------------- @MessiConor Hasta La Victoria Siempre |

If your looking for a weekday break Sasa then you could do no wrong if you head to Carrickfergus in 12 days time - a wednesday and stay in the Premier Inn which overlooks Belfast Lough for a few nights, best off all there will be plenty to see and do(running) while you are there I even hear they are holding a massive "festival" in that town around that time - I think its to be the main "festival" in the north those few days ------------- 1312 |

Defo way overpriced so wouldn't go back, stayed once. Nice place but in a sh*tehole of a town. Although surrounding countryside area and nice beach short drive away. Got a hair in my dinner   so that really put me off the place.Nice place in good weather but really pokey spa area  6.5/10 If you like sauna, steam room, heated outdoor and indoor pool etc and good grub go to Farnham Estate in Cavan  Really big spa areabeen there a few times love it. http://www.farnhamestate.ie/" rel="nofollow - http://www.farnhamestate.ie/ 9.5/10 ------------- I am serious.

In the words of McEnroe - You can not be serious man? The rooms are woeful, the service crap and the food rank - used to do a job that done interviews for a big company and would be round most off the hotels in Belfast and although the rooms in the Hilton are probably the biggest I wouldnt stay there, the europa has crap rooms but brilliant food, Jurys wouldnt go near, the Stormont is pretty good but too far out, havent been in Days hotel right in the centre but it looks pretty good ------------- 1312 |

Was in Cork with work during the week and as usual they put us up in the Radisson in Little Island. As residents no issue getting a pint until they stopped serving which was 01:30 on the Tuesday but 11:00 on the Wednesday for some reason. They’re obviously trying to grab back a bit of what they lost though, Guinness on Tuesday night was €5.20 and on Wednesday was €5.40. Food prices had shot up since pre Covid too, €14.95 up to €18.95 for Fish and Chips €12.95 to €15.95 for the Burger and Chips. No buffet breakfast anymore either, just a few menu options and it was scabby enough.
