Escape to the luxurious five-star Powerscourt Hotel Resort & Spa, Co Wicklow for some summer pampering …
As most of us know, when the sun shines in Ireland, why would you go elsewhere? And if you’re late booking a summer escape, the “Summer Time Out” offer at Powerscourt Hotel Resort & Spa, allows guests to enjoy its unrivalled location and be as active or as lazy as they wish; there is no shortage of resident lounges for relaxing and soaking up the hotel’s atmosphere.
It’s possible to pack a lot into a stay given Powerscourt’s location, just 30 minutes from Dublin. It offers the most stunning vistas of “The Garden of Ireland” with scenic river walks, quaint villages, and luxurious surroundings to explore at leisure. With acres of “free to roam” walking trails surrounded by Wicklow’s wonderful landscapes and wilderness, miles of nearby golden beaches and a choice of dining and entertainment options second to none, there are few places on earth that can offer the visitor such a wonderful choice within such an intimate, hospitable location.
The hotel can organise mountain climbs, escorted walks or more strenuous mountain biking activities. Or perhaps you’d like to play a round of golf, which can be arranged at Powerscourt Golf Club, or enjoy a therapeutic ESPA treatment in the Spa? A must-do is to have a swim in the Spa’s 20m Swarovski-lit swimming pool. Other activities to be enjoyed during this staycation include a visit to the Powerscourt Distillery, where a tour and sampling can be arranged.
The current two-night “Summer Time Out” offer is ideal for a family getaway and includes tickets to Powerscourt Waterfall with a delicious picnic to enjoy while you’re there. In the evening dinner in the beautiful Sally Gap Restaurant is a must for adults. Children aren’t forgotten either. They can enjoy complimentary in-room movies and popcorn, and the use of the children’s playground, while a special children’s dinner menu is available at the special price of €20 per child.
If your idea of a holiday is to enjoy some gorgeous gourmet experiences, then you will be spoiled for choice. From Sika Restaurant for stylish suppers with views over the Sugar Loaf Mountain, the Sika Terrace which is ideal for long leisurely lunches, or the Sugar Loaf Lounge for an indulgent afternoon tea. For a casual dining experience, the Sally Gap Restaurant never fails to delight.
All of this awaits in the “Summer Time Out” offer, starting from €486 for two children and adults sharing for a midweek stay. Accommodation is in one of the hotel’s luxurious five-star guest rooms with complimentary upgrade to the next room category, subject to availability. Breakfast is in the Sika Restaurant overlooking the Sugar Loaf Mountain. The offer also includes entrance ticket for each guest to either Powerscourt House & Gardens or Powerscourt Waterfall.
