It’s crazy to think it, but party season is almost upon us. And, with that in mind, we know that New Year’s Eve is just around the corner. It’s one of the most highly anticipated nights of the year, but there’s certainly a fair amount of pressure around it as well. After organising restaurant reservations, booking taxis (with a hefty surcharge) and scoring tickets to a pricey party, the whole thing can be something of a challenge.

But what if you could take all of the above out of the question, and spend the whole thing under one roof, complete with an impeccable dinner, entertainment and a comfy bed just a few short steps away?

The River Lee is offering a fantastic way to bring in 2017, with a New Year’s package from just €199 per person. You’ll enjoy a three-course dinner in the fabulous Weir Rooms restaurant on the night itself, before entertainment by Jack O’Rourke to ring in the new year in the Weir Bar (perhaps with a special whiskey in hand).

You’ll have two nights accommodation in a beautifully appointed room, so you won’t have to worry about getting home at the end of the night either. The bedrooms in The River Lee have a modern design with cool retro touches like egg chairs, and cosy beds to curl up and watch TV on.

Each morning, you’ll have a full Irish breakfast to start the day, as well as full use of the leisure facilities, including the spa and 20m swimming pool. With all that at your fingertips, you’ll be sure to kick off the New Year in style.

The River Lee New Year’s Package, from €199 per person, includes:

• Two nights’ accommodation in a Superior room
• Full Irish breakfast the following morning
• Dinner in the Weir Rooms on New Year’s Eve, followed by entertainment
• Full use of leisure facilities including indoor heated pool
• Free car-parking
• Available for stays between 30^th December and 1^st January 2017
