An unassuming hostel, up the side of a hill, near Dunmanway in Co. Cork

Quiet and peaceful, you can camp, stay in an old gypsy caravan, sleep in the dorm, or take the family room with private bathroom.

One of the best things about Cork (and there are many!) is that you have a choice of two stouts that aren't Guinness.

Murphy's is brewed at the Lady's Well Brewery in Blackpool and Beamish and Crawford is brewed on the South Main Street, just across the road from An Spailpin Fanach, one of Cork's better pubs and a great place for folk music.

Both brews are delicious - but don't take my word for it, I'm a native! Do try them if you're in the city.

Much is made in Ireland these days about the decline of the traditional pub, and that is indeed a sad event. But on the other hand, it’s hard to halt change, and when it takes the charming form of this tapas/wine bar, why would you want to?

The atmosphere is warm and friendly all through the week, the food is small and tasty, and the wine list is copious. The prices are a little higher than the pub round the corner, but it’s a case of chalk and Camembert.

One of the best restaurants I've ever eaten in, vegetarian or otherwise. They now also have a few bedrooms upstairs

Walk west about three minutes along Washington St. from the city centre, and it's on your right.
