Here at Feel Good Contacts, we've crunched the numbers* to create a comprehensive guide of all the hotels in Ireland where you can enjoy a two-night, five-star stay for two from Friday 24th January to Sunday 26th January 2020. This weekend comes just before January pay day for many and follows Blue Monday (20th January), a day dubbed ‘the most depressing day of the year’.
Although this guide only includes properties that market themselves as ‘hotels’ as opposed to B&Bs or serviced apartments, each of the sites listed was rated as “very good” or better based on guest reviews!
Jordon Cox, the Coupon Kid, provides some of his tips for grabbing a bargain:
"January is one of the cheapest times of year to travel. After the Christmas period, money is tight and businesses feel the pinch, meaning they lower their prices to entice customers.
“If you want to fly somewhere, you can often find flights for dirt cheap. Most will be under £50 return with either Ryanair or Easyjet (and even cheaper midweek).
“Getting a cheap 5* hotel is possible. Make sure you look on hotel comparison websites to find the cheapest place to buy. No matter which travel agent you book through, you can usually get cashback from hotel stays on websites like TopCashback and Quidco. You can get up to 10% back on your stay.
“If you're okay with an element of mystery in your hotel, you can always go onto 'secret' hotels, where you don't know what hotel you are staying in until you book. It'll give you a description of the hotel before booking, which you can usually google to decipher which hotel it is referring to. You can easily save between 20-30% and not sacrifice quality"
“Christmas, and subsequently returning back to work after the break, can be a stressful period for many - so what could be better than treating yourself to a weekend away at a 5-star hotel? We wanted to show how inexpensive a staycation can be if they need a little break to look forward to once Christmas is over, great for anyone who is a little cash-strapped in January.
