An early competitor for the hotel was the zootel, but despite their best efforts with frilly lampshades, the owners couldn’t disguise the elephant in the room. Leave the animals at home for today’s Groupon for £139 enjoy a two night mini break, with full Irish breakfasts and a four course dinner on either night at the four star Amber Springs Hotel and Health Spa. Just 50 minutes from Dublin and 30 minutes by car from Wexford, the Amber Springs Hotel is in a convenient spot for a little luxury retreat. Built in 2006, the hotel is deckedout according to the provisions of the four star standard, with simple, elegantly furnished en suite rooms in soft oatmeal tones and with kingfisher flashes of colour. From the crisp white pillows to the tiny Elemis toiletries, and from the ample 18 metre swimming and hydrotherapy pool to the sauna, steam room and fitness studio, the hotel offers guests a number of backdrops for intense relaxation. Having dropped their valises with the valets, guests can choose to kick off a two night mini break with a four course feast in the contemporary Kelby’s Bistro. With a vast picture window running the length of the restaurant, guests can watch the evening draw in as the courses draw on, before retiring for a nightcap in the bar or heading straight upstairs to bounce on the beds. Rising early enough to make use of all the mini toiletries, guests can then skip downstairs for a full Irish breakfast before heading to lounge by the pool, work out in the gym, or seek pampered bliss in the spa. Reviews The hotel has received a number of positive reviews from guests who have praised the comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. TripAdvisor users scored 4/5 and gave further mention to the friendly efficient staff and the excellent food served at Amber Springs. All in all it was a most enjoyable few days, and I would seriously recommend this hotel. We had been here for a weekend last summer, and doubled our time this year…..maybe a week in 2012 – marymai, TripAdvisor, Aug 2011 The staff in the hotel couldnt sic be nicer or friendlier and this was commented on by nearly all of our guests. The bedrooms are big and very comfortable and the Bridal Suite is pure luxury. All in all, I couldnt sic find one fault with this hotel – Avril O, TripAdvisor, Aug 2011 Groupon coupons  Travel  Accommodation  Hotels  Travel Cork  Accommodation Cork  Hotels Cork Further deals in this category 1. Overnight Stay For Two With Breakfast Plus One Round of Golf or Thermal Spa Journey for €110 at The Knightsbrook Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort Up to 65% Off 2. €73 instead of €214.60 for a One Night Stay and Evening Meal for Two at the Award Winning Malone Lodge Hotel in Belfast Save 66% 3. Edinburgh Two Night Weekend or Three Night Midweek Stay With Bubbly and Burgers For Two for €99 at Castle Apartments Up to 69% Off 4. Executive Room Stay For Two With Main Course Dinner for €125 at HighlyAcclaimed The Fitzwilliam Hotel Up to 55% Off 5. Algarve Seven Night Stay For Up to Two With Transfers and Bubbly from €119 at the Clube Praia da Oura Up to 58% Off Further deals in this city 1. Garra Ruffa Fish Pedicure for €10 at XFeet Value €24 2. Full Body Spray Tan for €12 at Belle Beauty Salon Value €30 3. Any 12” Pizza Delivered or Collected from Renowned Uncle Pete’s Pizzeria for €5 Value €18 4. Half Leg and Bikini Wax for €14 with Beauty by Elaine €33 Value 5. Five Week Horsemanship Course for €139 at The Eclipse School of Horsemanship 60% Off Further deals in Ireland 1. Authentic Indian Meal for Two, including a Starter Platter to Share, Main, Rice or Naan and Drinks for €24 at Mantraa Worth Up To €60.85 2. Six Sessions of Laser Hair Removal on Bikini, Underarm, or Lip and Chin for €99 at Special Beauty Worth Up To €336 3. €7 for a Children’s Haircut at Sharkey’s Cuts for Kids, Malahide Value €17 4. Eyebrow Wax Plus Reshape and Tint with Eyelash Tint for €18 at New Image Hair and Beauty Salon €45.99 Value 5. Pampering Package For Two €79 Or Four €149 With Treatment, Bubbly and Chocolates At Zenergy Further deals in other categories 1. Box of Twelve Assorted Handmade Cupcakes for €8 from the Sweet Cupcake Company Value €20 2. Family Ticket For Up to Five to Santa and The Christmas Experience for €10 at Red Mountain Open Farm 60% Off 3. €10.50 instead of €26.50 for any main course and any glass of wine at Harry’s Cafe Bar, Dun Laoghaire Save 60% 4. A Studio PhotoShoot for Two at Circus Photography for €44 Value €165 5. Durex Condom Package of 50 €25 or 100 €43 from CondomsDirect.ie 69% Off Similar deals from this merchant Two Night Stay With Four Course Dinner and Breakfast For Two for €139
