The web site is:

http://www.tourismresources.ie/cht/lennon.htm

The general paragraph which accompanies this picture says:

A unique battlemented gatelodge, set among mature trees in beautiful countryside, within sight of the Wicklow Mountains. It has one double bedroom with an en suite bathroom, sitting room with dining area, open fireplace and television, and a kitchen with cooker, washing machine and fridge. It is in an area rich with prehistoric monuments and stunning gardens that can be visited. Fishing, golf and horseriding are available locally.

It does look stunning!

Lucky thing!

I have just done a search for May next year for you Claire

Easyjet only fly from Liverpool to Belfast International Airport and aren't yet taking bookings for May yet, but for similar dates in March, it could be as little as £5.90 each way, plus taxes of £5 each way (Yes I did say £5.90...) You could hire a car to travel to Wicklow, which could take about 2 to 2 and a half hours (I hope, but don't take my word for it!)

(OK, just done a check on the AA website - it''ll take 3 and half hours...d'oh!)

Ryanair will charge £96.79 each (including all taxes) for flying out from Manchester to Dublin on Sat 17th May 2003 and returning the following Saturday. It should take you an hour and 10 minutes to get to Baltinglass from the airport.

I have done some more searching...

http://www.luxair.lu/en/ will do Manchester to Dublin return for £89.80 each including taxes on those dates in May.

Aerlingus will do it in May on those dates for £78.40 each including taxes.

British Airways will do it for £109.20 each, including all taxes.

(Guess who did a late shift today and can't relax enough to sleep yet?lol)

I think I know who to ask if I want someone to look for cheap flights for me!

KarenE · #15 (**permalink**) 13-12-2002, 06:35 AM

Ok Ryanair can do Birmingham/Dublin on those dates from £31.29 each including taxes.

Aerlingus will do it for £75.10 each including taxes.

British Airways is £109.10 still...

Easyjet don't fly from Birmingham.

You are better of flying to Dublin, the roads are pretty crap in Ireland!!!

What a place to stay though!!! I didn't know that existed in Ireland!!! Must make mental note to go there!!!! In wicklow you have a better chance of sun than most other places in Ireland but don't bet on it!! I will try to get back for around that time (on the wedding stuff excuse!) but have to see what finances are like first! Let me know if and when you may be in Cork!

While there you should check out a famous pub called Johnnie foxs
http://www.johnniefoxs.com/
It says that it is in the dublin mountains but I was always lead to believe that it is in the Wicklow mountains!! Either way it shouldn't be too far from you!
I will try to find other places and bars of interest for you!!!
Would you like some Irish phrases?? not that you will need them of course!

claireg · #17 (**permalink**) 16-12-2002, 08:15 AM

Awww Thanks K and Jac after much disscussion over the weekend with Simons Dad who goes to Dublin a fair bit to visit his Mum we have decided were gonna fly from East Midlands with Ryan air !!!! We definatly plan 2 be in Cork during somepart of tghe week Jac not sure when yet though!!! Would be great if we could meet up praps it would be a good idea to swap phone numbers then we could ring and let u know etc.
A few irish phrases would be great even if i only use them to impress the relies lol!!!
