Cost
A twin room (two people sharing) for two nights bed and breakfast and two evening meals costs €145 per person sharing.
Single rooms have a supplement of €30 per night, so the cost of a single room will be €205. The Association will refund €10 to members booking single rooms so the actual cost will be €195 for two nights bed and breakfast and two evening meals.
Getting there
For those who choose to drive to Faithlegg, it will take about two and a half hours from Dublin. It is located 107miles/173 km from Dublin via the M9. Free parking is available at the hotel.
Those travelling by public transport can take the train from Dublin Heuston to Waterford Plunkett, a journey which takes 2 hours 10 minutes. There is a train from Heuston to Waterford Plunkett on 8th March at 10.15am and at 13.15pm. On the return journey on 10th March, there is a train leaving Waterford Plunkett at 11.00am and at 13.05pm. These times are correct at the time of writing but should be checked nearer the time.
Faithlegg is located about 20km / 20 minutes drive from Waterford Plunkett train station. The hotel has advised us that a taxi from the train station to Faithlegg will cost about €30. Depending on the taxi, that could transport 4-7 people and the cost of the fare shared. We will look into the possibility of booking a taxi in advance, depending on numbers travelling by train.
