Trick or Treat? Why October is Ideal for Mini Getaways
October is here, and with it, Halloween. While ghosts and ghouls may be out to play, we believe October is the perfect time to swap the tricks for a well-deserved treat.
If you’re looking for a romantic escape, a family break, or a slow-paced getaway, we’ve got some incredible autumn packages waiting for you.
Stay Longer for Less – 3 Nights B&B
Why not make the most of the bank holiday season with a longer stay? Our 3-Night Bed & Breakfast package gives you more time to explore Killaloe and Ballina at your own pace. Wander through autumn trails, take in the changing colours along the River Shannon, and cosy up in the evenings with live music at O’Hara’s Bar.
Treat yourself: Extra value, more time to relax, and plenty of autumn adventures right on your doorstep.
Sometimes one night away is all you need to reset. Our Sunday Snooze package is all about indulgence. Wine and a welcome plate on arrival, breakfast in bed the next morning, fluffy robes & slippers, and a late checkout on Monday at 1pm.

Why October is the Best Time to Visit
Autumn in Killaloe and Ballina is special. The summer crowds are gone, the scenery is at its most colourful, and the slower pace of the season makes it ideal for strolling, exploring, and unwinding. With Halloween adding a little magic to the air, October is the perfect time to press pause and enjoy a lakeside escape.
