Family Breaks

Families planning a break with the Flynn Hotel Collection can choose from three wonderful destinations, each offering a warm welcome and plenty to keep little ones entertained. At the Newpark Hotel Kilkenny, recently crowned Ireland’s most Family Friendly Hotel at the 2026 Gold Medal Awards, families can enjoy spacious family rooms, child-friendly dining, kids swimming pool, kids’ clubs and a huge range of activities in Jurassic Newpark including a Wildlife Farm, a bound park, go-karting, a fun train and magical fairy trail. Set just minutes from the attractions of Kilkenny, it’s the perfect base to explore the Medieval Mile, festivals, restaurants and historic sights. For seaside adventures, families can also escape to The Park Hotel Dungarvan or The Old Ground Hotel in Ennis, where spacious accommodation, welcoming facilities and nearby attractions, such as the spectacular Waterford Greenway or Cliffs of Moher create memorable family getaways filled with fun, relaxation and exploration.

Families staying at the The Park Hotel Dungarvan will find plenty of exciting activities to enjoy throughout Dungarvan and the wider County Waterford region. A must-do for families is cycling or walking part of the spectacular Waterford Greenway, a scenic 46km off-road trail that follows an old railway line between Dungarvan and Waterford City, offering beautiful coastal and mountain views along the way. Families can also enjoy a day by the sea at Clonea Beach, explore local history at Dungarvan Castle and the Waterford County Museum, or take a short trip along the coast to visit family attractions such as farms, walking trails and scenic villages. With so much to see and do nearby, Dungarvan is the perfect base for an active and memorable family break.
