Pack your bags.

If you are dying for a getaway with your besties – or mum or sisters – look no further than County Westmeath's Wineport Lodge. I think we are all dying for a night away with the girls at this stage, and some laughter, fun and memories. At Wineport Lodge, you and your gals can take a break from the real world and explore the gorgeous countryside of Glasson by walking or making use of Wineport’s complimentary bikes. Or how about exploring Athlone? This vibrant, bustling town with so much to see, do and enjoy during your stay. To the west Of Athlone, in the shadow of the Castle, you will find the 'old town', an enchanting mix of quaint streets, historic pubs, antique shops, as well as some award-winning local restaurants. The east of the town is a shopper’s haven, with many interesting local and international shops side by side and two large shopping centres. Later on, you can chat and giggle away over a glass of bubbly and some luscious chocolate truffles, followed by a divine three-course meal in Wineport Lodge's award-winning restaurant. And after a late night of no doubt lots more chats and laughter, you can refresh and reset in the morning with a lazy breakfast in bed and a relaxing outdoor hot tub whilst overlooking the tranquil Lough Ree. In other words, the perfect way to start the day. The one-night Girls Getaway for two starts at €390 and for more information, click here. The Afternoon-Tea Break is another option – and one we are dying to bring our mammies along to. Between the rustic outdoor hot tubs overlooking Lough Ree, and a tempting selection of replenishing beauty treatments, we think it sounds like the perfect way to put the past 18 months behind us. Enjoy a delicious Afternoon Tea, and a complimentary bike ride through the Glasson countryside, and in the morning, enjoy a late checkout and a lazy breakfast in bed, re-charging the batteries. Afternoon tea with one-night bed and breakfast for two starts at €330, and you can find more information here. For bookings please go to https://www.wineport.ie/girlie-getaways.html
