Weekend break: Staying home for the holidays at the Clanree Hotel, Co Donegal

Who needs the hassle of flying? Deirdre Reynolds enjoys the ease of a staycation at the Clanree Hotel in Co Donegal.

WHEN it comes stress-free holidays, for me, it’s all about staycation, staycation, staycation. Forget searching for the passport, wrestling with your belt at security and battling jet lag; just throw a change of clothes into the boot of the car and off you go.

As kids on our summer holidays, we never went anywhere you couldn’t drive to within three hours.
