Summer has finally arrived! And that can only mean one thing: it's holiday time. And what could be better than a staycation with the family?
Staycations are a popular choice; taking the kids on an adventure is that bit easier doing it close to home - but most importantly, it won't lessen the fun factor for them one bit. They just get to experience the magic of new surroundings, minus the hectic airport stopgap.
And for parents, it just means things can be smoother on a practical level; all the baggage, transport and where-do-we-stay options are easier to navigate, especially with your highly-excited brood in tow.
When it comes to choosing your not-so-far-away destination, you want somewhere that has it all. This means beautiful scenery, games and activities for the kids and, ideally, some time for mum and dad to relax and unwind when they can.
Thanks to the Gleneagle Group, they have taken all the headache out of staycation planning, with their four excellent family-friendly hotels. The only thing that you'll row over is which one to stay in first!
The Brehon
This one has something for everyone, but the little ones will particularly delight in its enchantment. Embrace a Magical Fairy Trail Journey at The Brehon, in beautiful Killarney. The little ones can visit Queen Kate, The Brehon’s very own fairy Danú and the 14 other fairies who have moved into their gardens. During your stay, enjoy overnight accommodation for two adults and one child. After breakfast, take a journey through their magical Fairy Trail, make a wish on the wishing seat, cast your worries away on the worry plaque and visit the fairies houses.
And it's not just about the kids! Mum and dad can enjoy relaxation time in the Vitality Suite of Angsana Spa with access to the Aquila Club pool at their sister hotel, The Gleneagle next door. Book your luxury family break online now!
