GEORGINA CAMPBELL SHARES HER
FAVOURITE PLACES FOR CHRISTMAS,
TWIXMAS AND NEW YEAR BREAKS.
The Rock of Cashel, Co. Tipperary
hristmas is the most wonderful time
of year, but it can be stressful too, so
why not wrap those gifts and head off
to enjoy the festive season away from
home? Many hotels offer great three-
Cday deals from Christmas Eve through
to St. Stephen’s Day, and while others close for
Christmas Day, they often have great deals for
Twixmas, that funny week between Christmas
Day and New Year’s Day. If you’re planning
a family day away, a multi-generational
Christmas treat or a romantic getaway, there’s
plenty to do and see across Ireland.
PLACES TO STAY
Family Breaks
Magical trees and a festive atmosphere without the fuss is what many busy
working mums and dads long for. Hot chocolate and the Express Santa Train
await families at the Amber Springs Hotel & Spa in Gory. While closed over
Christmas, Amber Springs reopens its doors on December 27 and invites all
guests to enjoy the best of family facilities. Ferrycarrig Hotel in Wexford has
some special offers and enchants with its leisure facilities, sandy beaches and
historical sites. For a grown-up festive family break, magical Hayfield Manor
in Cork means relaxing in the sanctuary of the spas and relishing the comfort
of beautifully decorated rooms. For junior guests, the Malton in Killarney
offers a VIK (Very Important Kids) special treatment package for a very special
Christmas holiday break. If they’ve been good, the big man in red may even
pay the kids a visit.
