Treat the family to an Irish escape at Wineport Lodge
If you’re thinking about a family break with a difference during February half-term, then lakeside retreat Wineport Lodge in Ireland’s stunning Midlands region offers an ideal getaway that will please adults and children alike, offering great value and a host of extras including a complimentary babysitting service and a personalised cookie for each child on arrival.*
Located on the shores of Lough Ree, yet just an hour from Dublin, this boutique hideaway is a perfect place for family fun, with a welcoming ambience at the hotel itself and numerous activities on offer nearby. Parents will love Wineport Lodge’s famed restaurant with its organic and locally-sourced fare whilst the kids will delight in their own menu and kiddie cocktails created specially for them in the stylish bar, where you can enjoy a game of scrabble by the wood-burner as you look out to the lake.
The dedicated kids’ room boasts a Nintendo Wii, a DVD library and plenty of games but you’ll find a host of local attractions to keep keen young minds entertained; whether visiting Birr Castle with its Great Telescope, taking a cruise along the Shannon on a Viking boat where they get to steer the ship, or taking them along to Krazy Kids Indoor Play Centre with its soccer pitch, basketball court, astra slides, climbing frames, rope bridges and more. Older children and teenagers aren’t left out either, with golfing, power boating or karting all easily arranged by the hotel.
Book three nights in a deluxe lakeview room for just £275 per person including a family breakfast each morning and two dinners in the renowned restaurant, with children staying free**.
