Well used, multi aged playground just off the main street of Mallow. It has swings, slides,…read moreroundabouts, rockets, climbing frames, ladders and plenty of space to run about. It's close proximity to the shops, Mallow Town Park, the river, Mallow House and Castle. Our 9, 8 & 5 yr old were kept entertained. The playground is super busy with lots of kids playing and hanging out. For parents... positives: there are lots of seats and rubbish bins negatives: limited parking outside the park on a very busy road and does not have adult exercise equipment the new parks boast of. Most importantly however, there are no toilet facilities. I took off 2 stars because of the lack of toilets and parking, along with the park being a little more aged than others we have visited. As another reviewer pointed out, the equipment could do with a pressure wash and graffiti cleaned. In saying all this we would stop here again if we needed to stretch our legs and need a break in the car journey. Edit: found public pay toilets up the hill as you head into the main street. A sign at the playground telling people would be handy.

The serpentarium is a fantastic place to visit - and I don't like snakes!!! I thought it would be…read moreterrifying and I would hate it, but the kids wanted to go. In the end though I loved it - I actually touched a snake. And held one. The staff are fantastic and are very knowledgeable. They can tell you all about the snakes, where they were rescued from, what their habitat would be in the wild, their diet, how often they eat and a hundred other things you never realised before that you wanted to know about snakes. But for me the most memorable part was actually handling a snake, and the power and beauty of that creature is not something I'll forget in a hurry. And if you're wondering - no, snakes don't feel slimy in the slightest!

Carrying your phone around like a little bambino? Never have to search around your handbag for it…read morecos it's always in your hand? How about this - can you identify what type of email / tweet / message that's coming through without even looking at it by knowing the different vibrations? Mmm hmm. Unplug is a weekend that gives you the tools to get that mobile baby into electronic day care. With some ultra-relaxo opportunities along the way, and some top notch food thrown in. Result. I don't want to spoil the surprises of what's in store for you over the weekend. But let me give you some insight: - Firstly, Dunderry Park is the most stunning place. Rolling fields, magical forests, a calming lake, fairy forts, coupled with an aged beauty of an interior - old Georgian architecture and homely cosy decor. There's a roaring fire too. It's sublime. - You will learn different types of meditation and yoga and brain re-wiring and lots of other cool stuff. It's up to you how you want to dip in and out of sessions which gives the flow of the weekend a very relaxed pace, and you the opportunity to explore the surroundings, which you absolutely must do. - All the food is vegetarian and really delicious. Again it's got a homely feel to it - casually served, and makes you feel like you're eating with family - There are loads of other surprises. You need to go to experience them. I won't spoil them. (Ok, there was a bonfire and marshmallows on the second night. Sorry. I couldn't keep it to myself...) Did I turn my phone on within the hour after leaving... yes. Did I then put it down once I'd gone through all my watsapps, messenger, texts and notifications... yes. Did I not look at it for the next few hours? I did not! Success? Sure! I'm always gonna be addicted to my phone on some level, it's just too much of a life line. And those watsapps are #totes #hilar. Don't wanna miss them. But, I have cut down. That airplane mode is getting a good going over these days, so hey that's better than nothing right! I'd recommend this weekend to anyone wanting a nice chill time with some lovely people, tasty food, all whilst learning new skillz in a beauuutiful setting.

I dont usually write reviews for anything but this definitely deserves one, great way to kick start…read morea healthier life style, training is intense but with 1 week down you'll notice a huge increase in fitness levels and weight lose/toning... found the diet plan tougher than the training though to be honest but well worth it... Trainers are great there and really push you too your limit. My only downfall with this place is the price, it seems to have slipped their minds that we are in a recession with prices increased in the last two years by i think around 10 to 20 euros (Don't quote me on the amount). In saying that I would still recommend it to anyone that wanted to loose weight or just wanted to increase fitness levels, it will work!!!
