NORTHERN IRELAND HOLIDAYMAKERS URGED TO ENJOY THEIR OWN @NaturalRetreats

Luxury self-catering provider offers unique holiday experience   

WITH self-catering holidays making up almost one fifth of the domestic holiday market and one quarter of the overseas market, luxury provider Natural Retreats is urging Northern Ireland’s holidaymakers to visit one of its stunning properties closer to home this summer.

Natural Retreats offer incredible places to stay in beautiful and secluded locations, with a personal concierge service that is unrivalled. There are four stunning locations in Ireland – The Heritage in Co Laois, Castlemartyr in Co Cork, Adare Manor in Co Limerick and The Hollies in Co Kerry.

Natural Retreats portfolio also includes six UK locations – Yorkshire Dales, Llŷn Peninsula in North Wales, West Highlands in Scotland, John O’Groats and Fistral Beach and Trewhiddle in Cornwall.

In 2011 the company launched in the US and currently offer holidaymakers two incredible sites – Virginia Hot Springs and South Fork Lodge in Idaho. South Fork Lodge is widely known as a world-class fishing retreat and Virginia Hot Springs offers outstanding year-round activities including hiking, kayaking and horse-riding in a truly breath-taking location.

Following huge demand from customers, the company expanded further in 2011 to offer luxury villas in Playa Blanca in Lanzarote. Each residence offers spacious open-plan living with a terrace leading onto a private, heated outdoor pool.

Ewan Kearney, Chief Operating Officer, from Natural Retreats believes the growing success of the company is due to its unique proposition which provides its guests with a home from home without compromising on luxury.

“Each beautiful residence in all of our locations offer people something that little bit different. We pride ourselves on the unique holiday we can offer our guests who can enjoy their own space and fantastic facilities in our stunning self-catering properties as well as having full access to the hotel facilities which include spa, restaurants and championship golf courses – so really you have the best of both worlds.

“Our holidays are ideal for families, couples or a group of friends. The Natural Retreats Concierge service is something guests won’t have experienced before in the self-catering market — because there isn’t anything like it. If you need help before or during your stay our concierges can help with anything you need. We also treat guests to a delightful complimentary welcome hamper which is filled with delicious local produce such as bread, cheese and wine.

“We have plans to grow Natural Retreats in Ireland in the next few years and look forward to offering Irish holidaymakers an even greater choice of stunning residences in beautiful locations,” Ewan added.
