Mulranny beach is across the road from the hotel! The beautiful beach, pier and salt water marshes are less than 1 minute walk from the hotel. Spring water might be a be bit nippy but well worth a try. Pack the togs and join us for a post wedding dip Sunday to blow away the cobwebs and soak the dancing feet!
If you are staying in the hotel, there is a full gym and 20m pool, jacuzzi, steam room and plunge pool. So definitely don't forget the togs! There are also seaweed baths and treatment rooms if you would like to treat yourself.
