This month you have the opportunity to
win a break for two in the relaxing and invigorating Coolbawn Quay Lakeshore Spa set amidst the reeds on the banks of Lough Derg in County Tpperary.
Spas and retreats are appearing all over Ireland at the moment, but few could rival the beauty of this
magic place. This unique resort is modelled on the lines of a 19th century Irish village with quietly understated
luxurious accommodation in suites and rooms scattered throughout the cottages in the village - with hotel style service throughout, should you require it.
The
shoreside situation is truly lovely and there is a sense of being very close to the changing moods of nature, partly because the main building - which has a small traditional bar and a country style dining room - is only a
few feet from the water, and partly because guests move around from building to building much more than in an ordinary hotel.
The forty eight rooms are simple in style but furnished with
everything you could wish for, including sound systems and - a very nice touch this - a turf-burning stove which is set up in advance, with matches at the ready, so you can have your own real fire whenever you like.
The contrasts are wonderful here: whether you want to pamper yourself at the spa, hold a small conference or board meeting - or simply to unwind with style - this unusual village could be the ideal destination.
And the inner man will be well looked after too, with
excellent cooking by well known chef, Rob von Oosterbaan. This is a romantic location for weddings, which can be held in a luxury banqueting marquee set by the water's edge.
The lucky winner of this free competition will have a short break for two people (subject to availability), to include:
• 2 nights accommodation
• full Irish breakfast on both mornings
• dinner for two people on one night
• a treatment/massage per person
