Escape to the sunny south east

Only 90 minutes from Dublin, Wexford’s four-star Riverside Park Hotel and Leisure Club has plenty to offer in terms of a family getaway. Located on the scenic banks of the River Slaney, there are two restaurants to choose from here, the Moorings or The Alamo Steakhouse, and guests can enjoy complimentary use of the leisure club with a dip in the indoor swimming pool, kids’ pool, or relaxing time spent in the sauna, steam room or jacuzzi. Evening kids’ camps mean that mum and dad can have some alone time, and the playgrounds and promenade walk are great for family picnics. Summer packages start at €299 for two nights’ bed and breakfast, one evening meal, plus family activity. See riversideparkhotel.com
