Proudly Irish and family-run since 1989 Proudly Irish and family-run since 1989
Sheila has finally (and secretly) divorced her unreliable husband and is ready tocelebrate. But as she prepares to join the annual festive get-together at the hotel her family has owned for generations, she's not quite sure how to break the news to everyone. And she's not the only one keeping something to herself.

Nora, Sheila's formidable mother, is distracted by her doubts about the hotel's new manager: her grand-daughter Máire. Can she hide her feelings though, putting family before the business for once?

It was always the plan for Máire to take over the hotel, but she never realised how much she would have to give up. Is she now facing a choice between her career and her marriage?

And Maire's sisters Henrietta and Barbara have their own reasons for coming to the Castlehill Hotel - one needs time away to think and the other is eager to take a risk...

As the Sullivan women gather for the first time in months, at a place filled with memories, bittersweet and painful truths come to the surface. When their time together ends, will they be brought closer, or find themselves further apart than ever before?
