Author and former columnist Louise O’Neill grew up in Clonakilty, with her early years shaped by West Cork before studying in Dublin. Inspired by her connection to both coast and city, this curated stay celebrates the best of Cork, from vibrant food and culture to sea air, stillness, and the slower pace of the west coast.

Louise says: "The River Lee is the perfect base for exploration. You can be in the centre of the action in the city instantly, or the wild beauty of West Cork’s coast in under an hour and return to a haven of comfort each evening. Bliss."
