This is the nicest hotel we've stayed in in Ireland

Travelling around Ireland is always a lovely experience whether you're heading to Donegal for a week or Galway for a long weekend.

For such a little island, we have some incredible holiday destinations that are never too far away from our front doors.

This year, we're trying to visit more counties than ever before and started off in Cork this February.

The People's Republic never disappoints when it comes to a short weekend away or a two-week-long adventure exploring the entire county.

We were recently lucky enough to visit the River Lee Hotel in Cork City and it is the nicest hotel we've visited in some time.

The luxury boutique hotel features modern rooms, a stunning hotel bar, and even a health club.

Whether you're travelling with the girls or your other half, the location is perfect for any occasion.

The affordable but stylish hotel in the heart of Cork

On the banks of Cork’s River Lee, this luxurious hotel is a five-minute walk from central Cork.

The River Lee Hotel has everything you could hope for and more, but feels like a home from home thanks to their attentive and friendly staff.

From the second we walked in the door to the moment we checked out, we felt so incredibly welcome at the hotel.

The rooms are cosy, the hotel bar lively and you'll be dreaming about your dinner for days after.

The spacious rooms at the River Lee Hotel have floor-to-ceiling windows and are decorated in fresh light colours and modern fabrics.

Each room features a flat-screen satellite TV, free internet access and bathrooms with a power shower and under-floor heating.

The River Club Bar, Terrace and The Grill room is an exciting addition to the Cork food and drinks scene. With glamorous décor and a relaxed atmosphere, it is the perfect place to eat, drink and be social.

Cork is full of cosy cafes, vibrant pubs, delicious restaurants and plenty of shops, making it the ultimate location for a short break away.
