TV3’s Xposé check-in at Breaffy House Resort
BREAFFY House Hotel, with its stunning 98-acre woodland estate and magnificent 18th century Victorian manor façade, was the venue for a day of fashion and beauty on June 12 when TV3 Xposé presenter Cassie Stokes and her production crew filmed on location at the resort.
Breaffy Spa was the primary feature of the shoot, together with the breaking news announcement of Breaffy House Hotel’s recent partnership with market leading champagne brand Moet Chandon.
The shoot also featured a segment on fashion and beauty products with local businesses Pamex Ltd. (www.pamex.ie), Vaughan Shoes (www.vaughanshoes.ie) and Westport boutique Guna Nua (www.facebook.com/gunanuaboutique).
The hive of activity was evident in the atmospheric buzz and energy that only a TV shoot can bring to a location.
Breaffy Spa was a key feature of the shoot, with live filming of one of its best-selling treatments, the Elemis Biotech facial.
As Shauna O’Connor, Breaffy Spa manager, explains: "Elemis Biotech delivers the next generation of Elemis facial, setting new standards with a fusion of technology and touch. This unique facial combines new machine technologies seamlessly with hands-on therapy, creating immediate and long-term results while targeting specific skincare needs."
Each element of the facial was demonstrated by senior therapists Annmarie O’Boyle and Joanne Senwick.
Biotech technologies and Elemis facials are widely recognised and utilised among Hollywood and pop star celebrities like Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow. Having such a market leading spa product range like Elemis and its associated biotech technologies readily available at Breaffy Spa is proving increasing popular with the calibre of guests who continue to visit the resort.
The recently formed partnership between Breaffy House Resort and Moet Chandon was announced on the day.
Explained Maggie Ruane, head of sales and marketing at Breaffy House Resort: "Moet Chandon is now the house champagne here at Destination Breaffy and we are absolutely delighted to partner with a market-leading brand such as Moet Chandon, which oozes sheer class and utter luxury."
General manager Wilson Bird added: "We will sell over 400 bottles of Moet Chandon here at Destination Breaffy between now and Christmas, which for a hotel in the west of Ireland is unprecedented."
Destination Breaffy has also just launched its Moet Chandon luxury spa package which includes two nights' B&B in one of the hotel suites, with a five-course gourmet dinner in the Mulberry Restaurant, Moet Chandon on arrival, chocolate-dipped strawberries, Elemis gift sets, luxury spa treatments and Paul Costello toiletries in the suite.
As Wilson highlighted: "We are offering such products because we see a growing demand among our clientele for luxurious and indulgent spa package experiences. We are really excited to launch this latest offering which is synonymous with decadence, escapism and total indulgence."
Added Maggie: "Our value proposition is simple - when you check in to Destination Breaffy you check out of everywhere else."
