WIN: A luxury Wicklow getaway to brighten up Blue Monday - and a new MINI for the drive

Forget the January blues with a two-night hotel and spa break, all thanks to MINI.

IF YOU’RE FEELING a little inexplicably glum right now, you’re not alone. Today marks the third Monday in January, dubbed by many as Blue Monday, or the most depressing day of the year.

Christmas is well and truly over, the mornings are dark as ever, and the January payday is still miles off. Hardly a cause for celebration, right?

With all that in mind, we’ve teamed up with MINI to offer one reader of TheJournal.ie the ultimate cheer-up prize: a luxury two-night getaway to Wicklow’s BrookLodge & Macreddin Village – plus the loan of a MINI to get you there in style.

You’ll stay for two nights amongst the glorious Wicklow countryside, with breakfast on both mornings, dinner in The Strawberry Tree (Ireland’s first certified organic restaurant) and full use of the spa’s thermal suites.
