SOUL FOOD

Was looking for somewhere lovely to be throughly spoilt for a few days, sans babies, so myself and the other half (the good half) went off to the rebel county for a few days to the most amazing, throughly fantastic Castlemartyr Hotel in Cork. The hotel is set on over 220 acres and includes a spa, hotel, several restaurants and the most friendly, chatty staff you could ask for. The hotel is mainly housed in the old house which has been beautifully restored, The Gallery Bar retains its original stucco ceiling, grand and impossing the hotel manages to perfectly blend classic Irish hospitality with all of the trappings of a true five star resort. without being stuffy or too formal...and the rooms....did I mention the rooms. Big enough to swing a family of tigers in never mind an ould cat. The beds are squishy and include goose down pillows and duvets, the bathrooms are finished in marble and the bath is deep enough to really sink into. Right throughout the whole hotel you will find original art work, interesting lamps or vases and lovely old books.

Going home tomorrow, but will be back, LOVE this place! Check out http://www.castlemartyrresort.ie/ and indulge your senses, your soul will thank you for it.
