Peninsula Hot Springs, Fingal

Honestly I am so confused. I don't even like baths this much and this morning I felt dreadful and after four hours at the hot springs I feel relaxed, light, optimistic and happy. I have no idea why. There are lots of warm baths. They are nice but why do they make me feel so good??? Maybe it's the minerals in the water. Maybe it's the pizza or the wine. But wow. I feel so good???!!! Unfortunately it loses one star because the dressing gowns get really wet over time (maybe they could offer a free swap service?) and because the hilltop bath should be higher (no view when you're in it) and like five times as big. I will be back.

I quite enjoyed this experience. It is tough with the rains and they should consider despite us booking on the day of wet weather, some sort of food compensation or monetary compensation. We booked two weeks in advance but unfortunately for us, the weather did not care for this. So when went in, everyone was evacuated and forced to stay in a huge group indoors and out of the water which stressed us out due to rising COVID cases at the time. With the burst of 2 hours of sun we got, we ran through the place. There's so much to do at this place. Definitely try the fire and ice section of going from the dry sauna to the ice cold pool and feel your muscles love it. You won't but your body will. I loved the 40 degree heat and especially in the cave. Going all the way to the hilltop was also nice but the view honestly is not that great. You feel on top of the world but I think I would like to have tried something more personal later on. 4/5 for quite the first time experience and only getting 2 hours of time when we paid for the full adds to this.
