Brought to you by The Talbot Suites.

Group trips are brilliant fun, but booking hotel rooms can cost a small fortune.

Whether it’s a family reunion or a girls’ weekend away, the ideal spot boasts comfy bedrooms, stylish living areas for chatting and eating together and a central location so everyone can explore with ease.

Oh – and did we mention it needs to be affordable? It’s a big ask, but the Talbot Suites at Stonebridge, Co. Wexford tick all the boxes.

Part of the Talbot Collection, there are 69 self-catering apartments (one, two or three bedroom) with views over the stunning River Slaney – all located right in the centre of Wexford town.

There’s loads to do locally. Golf fans can hit the 71 par parkland course at Wexford Golf Club. History buffs can explore Enniscorthy and Johnstown Castles and visit the fulacht fiadh, crannog and viking houses at the Irish National Heritage Park in Ferrycarraig.

The Living Victorian House Tour at the 400-year-old Wells House & Gardens will show you what life was like in Victorian times (the story of the property is told through the eyes of Lady Frances – it’s the perfect chill daytime activity for a hen).

Other must-sees include Bean & Goose Chocolate, where you can make your own truffles (drool) and a fine dining dinner experience in the Oysterlane Restaurant at the Talbot Hotel Wexford.

If it’s a wild night out you’re after you won’t be disappointed; start off with pints and live music at The Sky & The Ground or The Crown Bar, then dance the night away at The Centenary Stores.

The best bit? This is a trip that won’t break the bank; two-bedroom Classic Suites are available from just €220 for two nights.

If you really want to push the boat out (or treat the bride at a hen party), check out Suite 50, a spectacular three-bedroom duplex apartment.

These luxury digs come complete with a granite galley kitchen, private balconies in all rooms and floor to ceiling windows across all levels.

Suite 50 sleeps six, making it an absolute gem for a group getaway or a family get together.

To make a sunny south east escape even more attractive this spring, if you book in advance you can nab a 20% discount as well as perks such as full use of the Talbot Fitness leisure centre at Talbot Hotel Wexford.

Complimentary onsite parking and wifi are standard.
