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."

About The River Lee

Set on a picturesque bend in the river, just a short walk from Cork city centre, The River Lee hotel occupies a unique position in this charming historic city. Ireland’s ‘second city’ is a lively cultural hub with an opera house, independent art galleries, museums and theatres, vibrant nightlife and a growing craft beer scene and hosts several festivals throughout the year – notably culinary, music and film. Additionally it boasts a thriving foodie scene centred on the famous English Market and is ideally placed for visits to kiss the legendary Blarney Stone, the historic fishing town of Kinsale and the rest of Ireland’s ruggedly beautiful southern coastline.
