The People’s Republic of Cork has much to offer over and above it’s bigger, brasher brother on the east coast – Dublin. Whether it’s the buzz of the city you’re after, the culinary delights of Kinsale or the calm of coastal Baltimore, it’s all there. Click on Travelodge for some great hotels.
With a 10 minute drive to the city centre, Cork city is one of the most accessible European city centres. And it’s well worth the spin, with Ryanair dropping you down there for a pittance.
After theatre, fine dining and partying through the night you’ll want to rest your head so get over to the Montenotte Hotel for unbelievable value at a 4 star hotel.
Having experienced the buzz of the city, whisk yourself away to West Cork where you’ll dine like a king in Kinsale then relax by the dramatic scenery of the Atlantic Ocean down in Schull and Baltimore.
And I can recommend no better place to stay than Rolf’s in Baltimore a secluded hostelry that serves fine food by the long-time resident Rolf himself, in beautiful surroundings and cosy rooms.
I’m not a fan of big name hotels, preferring instead the boutique option, but having spent a day down in Wicklow’s Aughrim Valley where the Brooklodge & Wells Spa nestles, I’m a convert. Check out Travelodge.
The Brooklodge & Wells Spa in County Wicklow, Ireland is hands down one of the finest establishments I’ve ever had the pleasure to rest my feet and sip on an organic coffee.
Indeed, as Ireland’s only fully organic restaurant, The Brooklodge serves up the most delicious meals, from the Angus beef right down to the dandelion petals plucked from their on-site, organic wild garden.
So, it’s no surprise that they’ve won Georgina Cambell’s Ireland Guide Hotel of the Year 2010 beating outright every other hotel in the country.
And to celebrate their win, Brooklodge are offering €10 spa treatments in November and December, with B&B from as little as €60 and B&B with Dinner from €90.
Luckily for the staff at the Spa, treatments are limited to 3 per person, otherwise at those prices they’d massage their hands off.
