Spurred on by a message I received from a reader, who happens to be a school teacher, looking for recommendations for budget midterm breaks for couples, I gathered up 5 fantastic deals for 2 nights for 2 people for less than €100 in total.
5. County Arms Hotel, Birr, Offaly

1. Benners Hotel, Tralee, Co Kerry
This 200 year old family run hotel is located in the heart of a medieval town. Benners is famous for its quality food and impeccable service. Groupon.ie has an offer of just €89 for 2 nights B&B for 2 people sharing with late checkout included. If you’re new to Groupon sign up and use code SAVE10 to save a further €10 on this already superb offer.
Fans of Star Wars would particularly like this deal as it affords you the chance to visit Skellig Michael where the last movie was filmed. One of my favourite scenic road trips in Ireland is the Ring of Kerry which is easily accessible from Tralee.
