Doesn't this look tempting . . . a picnic basket packed with goodies and wine to enjoy in the woods or by the lake? The Radisson Blu Farnham Estate hotel in Cavan has 7km of woodland grounds available for guests to explore, and the picnic basket lunch is part of a summer deal that includes two nights' accommodation with breakfast and dinner on one night in the Botanica restaurant, for €178 per person.
