Kilkenny's Newpark Hotel to turn Black Friday green

Flynn Hotel Collection of independent, family-owned hotels announces 'Green Friday' sale

Newpark Hotel

Kilkenny's Newpark Hotel

Kilkenny's Newpark Hotel and the Flynn Hotel Collection are planning to turn Black Friday green.

There will be savings of 20% on bed and breakfast rates in their landmark properties in Cork, Kilkenny, Dungarvan and Ennis, in addition to local green experiences for guests on arrival for those booking during the sale period. These welcome gifts have been thoughtfully selected to showcase local suppliers and producers to truly embrace the Green Friday ethos, which encourages people to shop sustainably and think local first.

The luxury boutique Imperial Hotel in the heart of Cork city is gifting guests with €20 voucher for the nearby historic English Market. The English Market where they source fresh produce for their menus and signature cocktails in an effort to not only bring an authentic taste of Cork to the table but also to reduce their carbon footprint.  This is part of sustainable ethos at the Imperial which has led them to recently being awarded a prestigious Gold Label by Fifty Shades Greener.

Ennis’s restored 18th century manor house hotel, The Old Ground, is offering guests a JJ Correy whiskey paired with Tuamgraney chocolates. JJ Correy Whiskey is sourced from the McGuane family farm in County Clare where they have resurrected the lost art of whiskey bonding, while Tuamgraney chocolates are passionately crafted by chocolatiers on the banks of Lough Derg.

The Old Ground is the highest rated hotel in Ennis offering guests a luxury stay, unrivalled culinary experiences and a true Irish welcome, all in a central location in the town. Superbly positioned on the doorstep of The Burren, Bunratty, Cliffs of Moher and many more Wild Atlantic Way highlights the Old Ground is one of the best places from which to experience the natural wonders of County Clare.

Meanwhile at Newpark Hotel in Kilkenny, a 4-star property just 10 minutes’ walk from the vibrant medieval city of Kilkenny guests will be treated to a High Bank Farm Organic Apple Gin that is 100% apple and 100% organic as their Green Friday treat. Newpark boasts 25 acres of parkland with a fen nature walk, wildlife farm & fairy trail, adventure playground and new ‘Jurassic Newpark’ dinosaur attraction making it ideal for families. Or enjoy a chilled getaway on the adult only floor, with hot tubs and a private breakfast terrace. Their on-site leisure centre, outdoor infinity pool and relaxing spa mean you don’t need to leave the hotel unless you really want to! Snapping up a 20% discount on a stay at Newpark is a great incentive to explore the historic and cultural attractions, shop or socialise in the Marble city. 

The Park Hotel in the harbour town of Dungarvan, Waterford, is set to welcome guests with a sweet treat of Lismore chocolate and two craft beers from Dungarvan brewing company, an ideal to refresh after a trek on the nearby Dungarvan to Waterford greenway. Dungarvan is an ideal staging point for coastal drives, scenic beaches, historic points of interest and sporting endeavours such as cycling, golf, fishing, and angling, not to mention shopping and dining in Dungarvan itself.

Breaks booked during the Green Friday sale period (14-28 November) can be taken from November 15 until April 30 inclusive. So, whether you’re looking for a city break, a family getaway, a spa break, self-catering, or an escape to the Wild West, there’s something for everyone at the Flynn Hotel Collection Green Friday Sale. 

The green commitment from the Flynn Hotel Collection is not fleeting as the hotels in the group operate to a sustainability charter.  This includes buying local, supporting smaller business and local farmers; supporting local charities; maintaining a green procurement policy to soften their impact on the environment, and providing sustainable training for their team.
