We’re all about the staycations these days, but before you rush off to explore the rest of our beautiful country, don’t forget to make the most of what we have right here on our doorstep.
Brooks Hotel is a beautiful, four-star boutique hotel on Drury Street, just a stone’s throw from Grafton Street and Saint Stephen’s Green, and they have linked up with bike hire people See Dublin By Bike to put together a wheely good two-night stay in Dublin city centre.
They’ve really pushed the boat (or should that be the bike...) out on this one – as well as two nights in the chic surroundings of Brooks Hotel and bike hire (which includes helmets, locks and optional pannier bags), the package includes a welcome drink, a home-made artisan picnic, a two-course dinner, made-to-order full cooked breakfast, 24-hour concierge and room service, 2pm late check out, complimentary turndown service and even a pillow menu. Your finest eiderdown please, my good lady!
And if you are wondering what that artisan picnic consists of, here's your answer: homemade elderflower cordial, homemade flap jacks, cookies, fruit and a freshly prepared sandwich on home-made sourdough. Yum.
All that for €195 per person – and you can even upgrade to a deluxe room for discounted rate of €20. And if you want to make even more of your bike hire, you can pay a bit extra for a private cycling tour in locations like Howth, Phoenix Park or along the canals.
