Join Noel Gallagher and escape to Ireland

Ireland is only a couple of hours from Britain and a favourite holiday destination for millions of people across the world including Oasis front man Noel Gallagher who recently said that he loved playing anywhere in Ireland as the “Celtic Crowds” always gave the band a warm welcome. He also recalled fond memories of holidaying in Ireland every year as a child saying “The smell of the air brings it all back to me…I love it here, it’s the land of my fathers.”

With the current credit crunch looking set to continue, every penny counts, and people are finding it even harder to get away from it all and enjoy a short break. With this in mind leading ferry company Stena Line is offering families and couples the chance to escape to one of 62 handpicked hotels with the launch of its new Hotel Breaks to Ireland brochure.

The new brochure features a fare that allows adults to travel with Stena Line and stay in a range of 3 star to 5 star properties including breakfast from only £57.50* per night. It also features great money saving offers including three nights for the price of two as well as a ‘kids go free’ deal which allows children under the age of 14 to travel and stay for free when sharing a room with two adults.

The brochure provides plenty of information on all the destinations featured as well as what to see and do in each region including attractions from bustling cities to unspoilt beaches and natural wonders such as the Giant’s Causeway.

Stena Line UK communications and PR manager, Nigel Tilson, believes Ireland is the perfect destination for British holidaymakers wanting to book a short break without having to spend a fortune.

“Ireland is the perfect place to enjoy a short break with its close proximity to Britain not to mention breathtaking views and fantastic tourist attractions. Stena Line’s new brochure provides great value breaks and customers can tailor their holiday to suit their needs.

“I believe that one look at our new brochure will give customers plenty of inspiration for a trip to the Emerald Isle. We have something to suit every taste and budget from cosmopolitan city breaks in Belfast and Dublin, to golfing breaks in County Kildare and Enniskillen; from relaxing spa breaks in Galway to fun-filled family holidays in Killarney and Newcastle,” he added.

“What is more, booking with Stena Line really takes the stress out of travelling as holidaymakers can relax onboard and enjoy the comfort and convenience of taking their own car to explore the countryside and enjoy their onward journey. With the many frustrations and increased expense that those travelling by air face at the moment, many of our customers are telling us that they really appreciate this kind of stress-free travel,” Nigel concluded.
