Today’s rural retreat will have you feeling like Lord and Lady of the manor…

We’re offering you an overnight Irish getaway for two people with breakfast, an afternoon tea, leisure access and a spa treatment for only €139 at Great National Hotel Ballina.

Hotel

With delightful panoramic views of the rugged County Mayo moorlands, the 4-star Great National Hotel is situated just outside the charming town of Ballina, offering guests an idyllic location from which to appreciate the beautiful surroundings and truly unwind. Once you’ve received a warm welcome, the friendly staff will guide to your deluxe guestroom. Each room is refreshingly light due to the large windows that provide picturesque views, and boast lavish décor, plush furnishings and modern amenities.

Once you’re fully acquainted with your room, you’ll be able to enjoy the indulgent afternoon tea that’ll be awaiting you downstairs. After devouring your delicate finger sandwiches, homemade cakes and scones with clotted cream, you’ll be able to take full advantage of the hotel’s leisure access. With an indoor swimming pool, steam room, sauna, fitness centre, regular fitness classes and a spa, what more could you possibly want? Well, you and your loved one will also receive either a 30-minute back, neck and shoulder massage or a 30-minute rejuvenating taster facial in the hotel’s decadent spa. Better yet, you’ll wake from your slumber to the inviting smells of your freshly cooked breakfast which you can enjoy at a leisurely pace because you won’t have to check out until 12pm. Incredible, we know!

Area

Outside the hotel, there's a wealth of local delights to explore and activities to undertake. Dotted along the Wild Atlantic Way, you can choose to try one of the many golf courses in the area, spend an afternoon meandering through the quaint northern County Mayo town of Ballina or opt for a spot of fishing along the river Moy. Further afield, keen cyclists or hikers can go out and enjoy some of Ireland's most picturesque scenery on the famous Great Western Greenway. For history buffs, Burrishoole Abbey, Rockfleet Castle and St. Patrick's Church are all nearby, while keen photographers should be sure to take a visit to the Nephin Beg mountain range, Mulranny's Blue Flag Beach, Croagh Patrick and Achill Island, all sites of majestic natural splendour.
