Invigorating Getaway on the Wild Atlantic Way

Mulranny Park Hotel

What could be better right now than the prospect of a lovely hotel break in the West of Ireland? And - in a superb location overlooking Clew Bay, with “ the Wild Atlantic Way At the Front Door and the Great Western Greenway at the Back Door” - the Mulranny Park Hotel (established in 1897 and previously the famous Great Southern Hotel Mulranny), could be just the place.

Under the caring eye of General Manager Dermot Madigan and a terrific staff, it’s now a welcoming hotel with a great reputation for activity breaks and family holidays. There’s a pleasant mix of Victorian ambience and modern amenities – most recently including the addition of Seaweed Baths and a lovely Treatment Room offering Hot Stone and Full Body massage, which have added to the hotel’s appeal, especially for couples’ getaways.

The Sea View Apartments also make a perfect base for families and, with Ballycroy National Park nearby, a Blue Flag Beach just steps away, a recently upgraded swimming pool and a menu of activities - including, in summer, a kids’ club, supervised evening playroom (so adults can have a quiet dinner…), ‘Mulranny Movie Room’ with goodie bags, ‘Native Animal Hunt, "Mulranny Fairy Trail" and much more - there’s no shortage of things to do in the area and on-site.

And Mulranny has a special USP for food lovers too, as the hotel invented the fascinating “Gourmet Greenway” artisan food trail, showcasing the superb food producers of the Mulranny, Newport, Westport and Achill areas, which can all be explored along the Great Western Greenway route. The Gourmet Greenway inspires all of Head Chef Chamila Mananwatta’s menus, especially in the elegant Nephin Restaurant, with its stunning views across Clew Bay.

The lucky winner of this free competition will have a midweek break for two people sharing (subject to availability), to include:
•   2 night luxury stay
•   Breakfast featuring Gourmet Greenway produce on both mornings
•   5-course Table D'Hote Dinner with wine in Nephin Restaurant, on one evening of your choice
•   Seaweed Bath for two
•   Departure Gift of Gourmet Greenway Chocolates
