Ancient buildings scatter the grounds of the Castlemartyr Resort, Cork, making it a history-steeped Irish retreat with a regal air.
EXPERIENCE
You'd think that an unshakable reputation for good times and unconditional friendliness would be difficult to live up to, but the world's capital for bonhomie far exceeds its notoriety.
The Castlemartyr Resort in Cork is a modern hotel behind the façade of a 17th century Irish manor house. The ruins of a 800 year old castle, from which the hotel gets its name, holds tales of Knights and Earls fighting over rich land.
For vacation activities, fishing and horse riding are a southern Irish mainstay whereas quad biking and rally driving are newer ways to feel the rush of the outdoors.
Beds in the regal suites are king size (of course) and sit next to a central computer system that controls the TV, air conditioning, lighting, and drapes. If his or her highness ever feels the need to leave the bed, the rainforest shower and large bath will serve the most demanding of needs.

LOCATION
You'll feel cheated that the drive from the airport to Castlemartyr Resort takes just 30 minutes. Ask your undoubtedly chatty driver to take the longest route and discover what stories he can tell you about Cork's rolling hills and tempestuous coastline. Just remember to check the facts before you pass on the elaborated tales.
