Irish hotels with room jacuzzis?

[flobadob]

Does anyone have a suggestion of a hotel in Ireland/Northern Ireland which have jacuzzis available in the rooms. I'll look it up and stuff but would be nice to get a few first hand recommendations. Thanks in advance.

Well, it's not a first-hand recommendation from me, but it's a first-hand recommendation from hundreds of people on TripAdvisor:

(Click on 'Accommodation' for details of the rooms with en-suite jacuzzis).

The Irish peat digger - was so dirty that when he jumped in the jacuzzi he made the coffee for his Missus's hotel........

I wish Ireland was like that, DT. Them were the good old romantic, innocent days. Not anymore, unfortunately.

Cheers Chris, I'll check that out, might be a bit too far though, would be hoping for something more Northern or Midlands but I'll have a look through Trip Advisor maybe.

true flobadob - It is not cheap but if I remember I think the Assolas Manor does at Kanturk (or used to) and also Marfield House at Gorey (fabul;ous place and almost OTT)

Assolas used to have amazing breakfasts. My ex and I stayed there for 5 days on our honeymoon - we left the jacuzzi on with a small bottle (one of those sample) of shampoo in it and engaged in some early evening 'fun' - came into the bathroom and it was thigh deep in foam!!!!

It was also the destination for Peter Ustinov one time. He came down through Kanturk on a Sunday pm and there was no one out at all to ask the way-in for the last couple of miles. Eventually he sees this old guy and stops the car, winds down the window and asks him if he knows the direction to the Assolas Hotel.

"No Surr, I say I don't"

Ustinov drives off, 100 yards or so he looks in the mirror and there's a second old guy out in the middle of the road with the first one waving him back. He goes into reverse, comes to a hlat near them and winds down the window once more.

First Irishman "I just want you toi know me bruvver doesn't know neither."

(Heard him tell that in Hong Kong and we pizzed ourselves silly!)

Well, we are a humourous folk. Again, Cork. There must be more Norn jacuzzis in the place.

Well, I do love the country and been fortunate to have been over a few times on both business and pleasure....wonderful people and some good places to stay/eat.

The Clarion in Carrickfergus has at least one room with a Jacuzzi:

Thanks chazza, I was looking up hotels last night but I got nowhere. Gave up after a while. If anyone has any other suggestions I would be very appreciative.
