Advantages: Excellent food, accommodation and service Disadvantages: None
...The Lough Erne GolfResort and Spa is listed on Ciao as a 4 star hotel, but it is now actually a 5 star facility.
I have just reached a milestone age, I celebrated my 40th birthday and I asked my husband to arrange a night away for the two of us, a major logistical feat for us. I am a married mother of three children, aged 8, 5 and 15 months and I work full-time so arranging any free time let alone a night away is something of a major event.
Why did we choose the Lough Erne GolfResort?
Well to be honest the decision was not based on any strong desire to play golf, well at least not in February. Basically we were looking for somewhere that would offer us a night of luxury, with good food and comfort and somewhere we would not have to travel too far to get to.

Killeen is situated near Kill, just off the N7. To get to the golf course from the M50 moterway, take the N7 turn off at the Red Cow roundabout. Follow the Naas road past Rathcoole and take the right turn at Kill junction traffic lights. You then continue over the Straffan road for approximately 1/2 mile and take the first left turn (sign posted for Killeen). Continue on this road for a further 1/2 mile and the entrance to the Killeen GolfClub is on the left hand side.

Advantages: Close to the airport for transfers, Great Food. Disadvantages: Lots of seaweed gets washed up on the beach.
...Flight Out:
I used Virgin Atlantic who fly out here. The flying time is 8 hours but, because of the time difference, it was the equivilent to a 4 hour flight (great). Of course this means the opposite coming back. Its 8 hours flying but you have to add 4 hours onto the time. Not so good
Landed:
The resort is within a 10 minute drive of the airport. Once there, the drive with the coconut palm trees gives you the clues that you've well and truely arrived.
All in:
The hotel is fully-inclusive so all the food (even in the 2 specialist food restaurants) is all in, as are MOST drinks. If you want a bottle of 'champers' with a meal, this is extra.
