The lucky winner of the competition is Robert Walsh from Dublin, and he can expect to hear from a member of the JOE team in the very near future. He gets a ‘Brownie Points’ stay in the landmark Castleknock Hotel in Dublin. We’re talking a one night bed and breakfast stay in an executive double room decorated in rose petals and equipped with a bottle of wine and a tray of chocolate brownies.
The package, which also includes a €25 a la carte voucher for the Castleknock Hotel & Country Club’s Park Steak Restaurant, comes in at just €69 per person sharing.
For those of you who didn’t quite make the cut, all is not lost. If you mention JOE.ie upon booking on the phone or choose JOE.ie in the ‘How did you hear about us’ section of the booking engine, you get a €20 voucher for the hotel’s Tonic Health & Day Spa.
