Amber Lane Bowling at Amber Springs Hotel

Four lanes for Amber Springs guests

This is a hotel facility rather than a public alley. Amber Lane Bowling is the newest addition at the 4-star Amber Springs Hotel on the Wexford Road in Gorey, a five-minute walk from the main street, and only residents can book it. The four lanes come with air conditioning, heating, plenty of seating and music, and the counter sells sweets, crisps, soft drinks, beer, prosecco and wine in polypropylene glassware.

For families staying at the hotel, bowling sits beside Amber Park's go-karting, mini-golf, archery and animal farm, and the Club Amber leisure centre with its 18m pool. An hour on a lane costs €49, with the first bowl at 11:00 and the last at 21:00 every day. Visitors who are not staying can look to the public alleys at Pirates Cove and FUNKK in Courtown, which Pirates Cove puts about ten minutes by car from Gorey.
