Castlemartyr resort: Luxury does begin at home

TRAVELLING a long distance for a family weekend break runs contrary to logic.

Why head off after a week’s work only to return home bleary eyed on a Sunday night after an exhausting journey? It doesn’t add up.

To capitalise on our limited time, we jumped at a local staycation offer. With just two small suitcases in the boot, we found ourselves pulling into our destination — a five-star oasis on 220 lush acres — 20 minutes after leaving home.
