Win a Break for Two at Amber Springs Hotel & Spa

Muckross Park HotelYou can't beat the Sunny South East for a traditional family break and this sister property to the more businesslike Ashdown Park Hotel, on the other side of Gorey town in Co Wexford, is one of the most focused hotels in Ireland when it comes to thinking about everything that's needed to make a successful family holiday.

Not far from the train station and within walking distance of the town centre, it's also close to sandy beaches - but there's so much to do on site that there's a good chance you'll never want to budge at all if you have the kids in tow.

'Relax, revive and restore' is the motto and it's not all about the kids - adults should be pretty happy too as there's an 18-metre swimming pool, sauna, hot tub, and a fitness studio - and beauty treatments as well, in the Club Amber Springs Leisure Centre.

When it comes to accommodation, there's plenty of choice and - a very sensible idea to make sure that guests travelling without children will also enjoy their stay – the 129 rooms and suites include an adult only third floor, well away from the sound of kids having fun.

Food-wise there's a lot of good stuff going on here too, as the hotel offers a range of dining options and the Redmond family's own farm, just a few kilometres away, supplies beef and much of the fresh produce daily for use in its restaurants - which include Farina pizzeria and, more recently, the aptly name FARM Steakhouse (over 16s only).

Having an adults-only destination restaurant in a family focused hotel is a really smart move and it's a great opportunity for Executive Chef William Millar and FARM Steakhouse chef Tamas Varga to showcase the farm produce - beef from the grass fed Angus cattle and vegetables grown just minutes away - in dishes that are seasonal, inventive and very tasty.

The lucky winner of this free competition will have a short break for two people sharing, to include:

•   2 nights luxurious accommodation
•   Full Irish breakfast each morning
•   Dinner in FARM Steakhouse on the evening of your choice
