mariemadden

A hotel getaway is the ultimate indulgence and allows you to leave all the stresses of real life behind – even if it’s just for one night.

When it comes to relationships, it’s so important to take some time out to enjoy each other’s company and a break from discussing bills, work and in-laws!

There are some stunning locations around Ireland that are ideal for a romantic escape so we’ve rounded up a few for you to consider!

No. 1 Pery Square, Limerick

Limerick is one of our favourite cities for a good night out and this elegant hotel has a range of period and club rooms, each named after either an Irish poet or a former resident of the building. It’s centrally located, just a stroll from some great restaurants and nightlife options, and there’s a spa on site as well!

No. 1 Pery Square offers a Couples Romantic Spa Escape package, which includes overnight accommodation with breakfast, relaxation time in the thermal suite, a couples aroma bathing ritual, a glass of bubbly each and a side-by-side back, neck and shoulder massage each.

Blairscove House, Co Cork

This Georgian house and courtyard is located on the waterside near Bantry in Cork and it’s just stunning. There are a number of accommodation options on the site, from a loft apartment to a cosy cottage, and all have been impeccably designed. 

The perfect way to get away from it all!

Wineport Lodge, Co. Westmeath

Do you know what says romance to us? An outdoor hot-tub. Luckily, the divine Wineport Lodge has a lakeside one so you can soak your cares away as the night falls. 

The hotel started life as a restaurant so the food is top notch, with treats like dry-aged striploin steaks and fillet of hake with tunisian potato and vegetable shakshuka on the menu.
