Football break to Blackpool
The Premiership season 2010/11 is about to kick off and many of you will be hoping for a means of catching a game featuring whoever you happen to follow. We can’t imagine there being all that many Blackpool fans among you, but the club’s Premiership home debut against Fulham on 28 August is a real occasion for the seaside resort city and will be a cracking event for the neutrals.
Hotels.ie are offering a range of deals on quality hotels along the famed stretch of sand. Here are a couple of the best still up for grabs.
The four star Barcelo Blackpool Imperial Hotel is situated right on the seafront so you’re close to Blackpool Tower and Blackpool Beach. You get access to the hotel’s indoor pool, steam room and sauna. Prices start from €103 per room per night from 27-28 August.
The three star Grand Metropole sits in the lively Blackpool town centre and all rooms afford cracking sea views and boasts nightly live entertainment shows. Prices start from €81 per room per night from 27-28 August.
The three star De Vere Heron’s Reach is right next to Blackpool FC’s Bloomfield Road. It’s kitted out with a health spa and restaurant and even features a golf course no less. Prices start from €110 per room per night from 27-28 August.
All prices are subject to availability at the time of booking. For more information visit www.hotels.com.
Secret Hotels
www.lastminute.ie is running their famous ‘Secret Hotels’ offer again this week. The deal is they will hook you up with a stay in a four or five star hotel in Dublin or in any number of UK cities for a knock-down price.
The catch is, the hotels don’t want it known that they are practically giving some rooms away while charging others top dollar. But although you don’t get to know the name of the hotel you will be staying in until you’ve booked, you can rest assured it will be a swanky little number. Click here for more information.
