Valentine's Day in the Countryside

Valentine's Day at Cliff at Lyons

A Countryside Sanctuary for Romance

This Valentine’s Day, escape to the enchanting Cliff at Lyons, a romantic countryside retreat just 30 minutes from Dublin. Nestled along the banks of the Grand Canal in Kildare, the estate’s cobbled courtyards, ivy-clad cottages, and gently flowing waterways create a setting made for love.

From luxurious overnight escapes and intimate dining to restorative spa experiences and thoughtful Valentine’s gifts, Cliff at Lyons is where romance unfolds at its own unhurried pace. Every corner of the estate whispers tranquillity — the perfect backdrop for celebrating your love story.

Getaways Steeped in Idyll

For couples dreaming of a Valentine’s getaway in Ireland, Cliff at Lyons offers a haven of warmth, privacy, and indulgence. Each of our elegant rooms and cottages blends contemporary comfort with country charm — think soft linens, inviting armchairs, and views of rose gardens, courtyards, or the canal.

Wander hand in hand through the estate’s leafy pathways, pause for coffee and pastries at The Pantry at Trellis, or simply sink into fireside comfort in the Lyons Den Bar. As dusk falls, the estate glows with lamplight and the sound of water flowing beneath the old stone mill — a setting that feels like it was made for romance.

A romantic night away at Cliff at Lyons is more than a getaway; it’s a chance to slow down, reconnect, and create memories in a world apart.
