Overlooking the golden sands of Ballygally Bay and with uninterrupted views across the Irish Sea, seventeenth-century Ballygally Castle is one of Northern Ireland’s top hotels.
And with rolling waves just a short walk from the hotel’s entrance, it’s the perfect place for water lovers to dare a dip in the chilly Irish Sea.
The hotel has designed and launched a special overnight package that combines a dip in the sea with hot sips in the castle.
The Sea Dips & Hot Sips package includes everything guests need for an adventurous and enjoyable stay including the use of the castle's dry robes, hot water bottle, slippers, and a flask filled with a hot drink of their choice.
"We wanted to offer a unique adventure for both seasoned and novice sea swimmers that combines the thrill of the Irish Sea with the comfort of our castle. After a refreshing dip or swim, guests can return to the castle and warm up with a hot shower in their luxurious room complete with ESPA toiletries. And in the morning a wholesome full Irish breakfast awaits,” said Scott Weatherup, General Manager of Ballygally Castle.
