Girls Night Away Offer – 4-Star Clayton Hotel Limerick With Prosecco, Dinner & Breakfast, From €100pp

2 years agoSarah Slattery

It’s back! Due to popular demand, the exclusive girls night away offer from the Clayton Hotel Limerick is back again – and you can’t afford to miss it!

From a mere €100 per person (three sharing), or €115 per person (two sharing), you can enjoy a girls night away in Ireland’s tallest hotel with breakfast, a 4-course à la carte dinner, a complimentary cocktail, and Prosecco in your room on arrival – can you believe the price? You also have full access to the Club Vitae swimming pool, health and fitness centre!

I published this exclusive offer twice last year, and it was so popular that the Clayton Hotel Limerick asked me to run the promotion again. I received superb feedback, with many messaging me after their stay saying they had a super time and would definitely return.

If you happened to miss out on this great girls night away offer last time, make sure you take advantage now. Enjoy a post-Summer catch up with your besties, or why not plan a Winter or Spring break? This deal is available mid week from October to March, even on Sunday nights! Selected Friday and Saturday nights are also available – supplement applies.

I know what you are thinking, this is too good to be true, there must be a catch! There isn’t. The eye-catching Clayton Hotel Limerick is not only visually stunning on the outside, it boasts stylish interiors, modern rooms with superb views of the city, and a leisure centre with swimming pool and gym.

It is situated on the banks of the River Shannon and offers a choice of dining options with gorgeous views. Catch up with your friends over a cocktail, and enjoy a four-course evening meal with spectacular sunset views – all of this is included in the price!

The Grill Bar & Restaurant serves up classic European dishes with a contemporary edge, and the à la carte menu is ideal for a girls night away. The menu offers a variety of dishes to suit all tastes, and the reviews from previous guests are excellent.

I love that the hotel’s location also suits those who don’t want to drive. The Clayton Hotel Limerick hotel is located in the heart of the city, just 10 minutes walk from the train station – your girls night away can start the minute you board the train!

With Limerick’s city centre close by, you can enjoy a ramble through the medieval quarter before dinner. The 13th century King Johns Castle is also located here – its good to combine a little culture on a girls night away, right?

If you fancy a little exercise or adventure, why not cycle the newly opened Limerick Greenway. Don’t worry there is no need to to pack a bike or a helmet. Limerick Bike Hire can arrange to collect you at the hotel, drop you to the point in the greenway you wish to start, and drop you back to the hotel afterwards – hassle free!

Alternatively why not try one of the top activities to do in Limerick – kayaking. A 90-minute city kayak tour is a great way to see the highlights. See more fun activities in Limerick here.

And of course no girls night away would be complete without shopping. Limerick’s Fashion Quarter boasts a myriad of stores from Penneys to Brown Thomas, as well as some beautiful boutiques. Don’t miss the famous Milk Market for some foodie souvenirs to bring home.

However, you may not wish to leave the hotel at all. You can choose to relax in the swimming pool, sauna or jacuzzi instead. Isn’t it great to have options? Speaking of which – you don’t have to go with a girlfriend. If you want to bring a loved one instead, you can of course, do that too!

When you finally say goodnight, you will be rewarded with comfy beds in modern rooms offering the best views of the city. And your girls night away doesn’t end there – indulge in the Clayton Hotel Limerick’s carefully crafted Vitality Breakfast the following morning. Choose from a traditional cooked breakfast, a healthy light snack, or a bit of both.
