6 Night Northwest Ireland Luxury Knitting Retreat (2017)
Knitting Retreat in the Northwest of Ireland with Instructor Edel MacBride
While our knitting tours are hugely popular, a lot of our previous knitters said they would like to come back to Ireland to simply relax and knit! So here it is, our Luxury Donegal Knitting Retreat. When you arrive at Dublin airport we will take you on a panoramic tour of Dublin where you will see all of the major sites and attractions. The next day, head for Donegal on the Northwest coast and meet your host and famous Donegal Knitter, Edel MacBride. You will spend four days with Edel in the Luxury Harvey’s Point Lakeside Hotel. We will have optional touring throughout the four days, should you wish to take in some of the local crafts! Harvey’s Point Hotel has a reputation for excellence, having been named ‘Ireland’s Best Hotel’ in the TripAdvisor Awards three times in a row!

Customer Testimonial
Hello Tina,
Just returned from our vacation in Ireland and I was so impressed with the beauty and
granduer of the southwestern part of the country. Ireland truly is an
Emerald Paradise! Thank you so much for your kind arrangement to my
travel plans and your professional, courteous touch to handling all of my
questions and concerns leading up to my departure for Ireland. I enjoyed
myself immensely on the tour. Driving was every bit as hectic as the
masses have said it would be. But I survived.
The B&B's were excellent.
Thank you again for all you have done and, who knows, perhaps I can make
it back to Ireland one day. In the meantime, I will offer to my friends
and family to call / e-mail you should they ever hint to interests in
visiting Ireland for themselves. I'm sure after I show them all of the
pictures I had taken while there, many will want to book their vacations
right away!Scott Senko, Maryland, USA
