Product Manager Grainne loves the outdoors and discovering new foodie experiences, ‘My ideal Valentines Day would include a walk along Dog’s Bay beach in Galway followed by oyster shucking at DK Connemara Oysters‘.
DK Connemara Oysters is located on a remote, pristine bay on the Wild Atlantic Way. Include this unique experience & learn every part of the farm journey from seed to plate.
”Immerse yourself in unparalleled luxury within the Woodland Suites at the Montenotte, boasting breathtaking panoramic views of the River Lee and vibrant Cork City”.
Travel Advisor Alma knows about luxury and highly recommends these spacious suites. Offering an unforgettable experience and seamlessly blending modern elegance with breathtaking scenery, the unique suites at the Montenotte offer a spa-like sanctuary overlooking Cork City.
Travel Advisor Sam has a passion for the outdoors and described his ideal Valentines Day as a hike along the Causeway Coast in Northern Ireland followed by fish and chips in the Bushmills Inn.
While travelling Northern Ireland we also recommend a swim tour with Hanno from FreeDive Northern Ireland or a horse ride along the beach with Crindle Bespoke.
Ashford Castle, set on the banks of Lough Corrib is perhaps Ireland’s most quintessential and beautiful castle hotel. It has everything a person could want on a vast estate of 350 acres of woodlands, park and lake lands. The hotel boasts two fine dining restaurants, fishing, falconry, clay pigeon shooting and a host of other activities on its extensive estate.
Orla highly recommends a sunrise walk with the resident wolfhounds and a stay in the private boathouse. ‘The staff at Ashford Castle are its defining feature – genuine, friendly professionalism.. including the wolf hounds!‘
Travel Advisor Sarah loves creating and learning new skills. ‘My ideal Valentines Day would include an activity like joining a cooking class. I highly recommend attending a cookery school. There are so many across the island of Ireland’.
Want to discover the best of what is happening in Ireland’s food
scene, we highly recommend the Fab Food Trails in Dublin or Taste & Tour when visiting Northern Ireland.
Travel Advisor Taylor enjoys nothing more than getting involved in creating unique something unique and what is better than creating your very own jewellery piece while learning about the different stages of jewellery making. We highly recommend the Claddagh Ring workshop in Dublin. A Claddagh Ring is a traditional Irish ring in which a heart represents love, the crown stands for loyalty and the two clasped hands symbolize friendship. The perfect memento of your incredible Irish vacation!
To make the day extra special we recommend a delightful Art Afternoon Tea at the 5-star Merrion Hotel.
Kieron, one of our expert travel advisors highly recommends a luxury cruise along the Shannon Estuary with Sionnan Luxury Cruises. Enjoy a sunset evening cruise as you dine on the deck enjoying tastes of the West Coast of Ireland.
