Hoteliers discovered that the concept of a ‘home away from home’ was problematic when guests began redecorating rooms and starting poorly planned DIY projects. Leave it all behind, including the kitchen sink, with today’s Groupon €64 instead of €142 for a one night stay for two with breakfast and wine on arrival from The McWilliam Park Hotel, Mayo.  Cutting a sleek profile against a mountainous backdrop The McWilliam Park Hotel provides 4 accommodation close to the bustling market town of Claremorris. From the bedrooms, coloured in heather reds and purples, to a shimmering 18m pool, steam room and spa downstairs, the hotel matches the standards of modern hospitality with the style of boutique accommodation. With four golf courses nearby, and a network of rivers, plains and lakes in the surrounding countryside, the hotel is well placed for outdoor explorations such as fishing, putting, horse riding and hiking. For one night guests can leave their valises with the valets and enjoy a glass of wine on arrival, before settling in to their cosy accommodation, which includes a flat screen TV and free wifi. After a full breakfast in the morning, guests can steel themselves away for a dip in the pool, or head out for a long mountain ramble, taking in the best of the west.
