For a retreat at the lovely Irish seaside, travellers can chose The Marine Hotel, which is ideally located in the picturesque coastal village of Glandore, West Cork. In addition to offering self-catering holiday homes, the property has 11 comfortable, hotel-style bedrooms that were renovated in 2007. They come with ensuite bathroom, TV, and tea- and coffee-making facilities. The complex is also home to a bar decorated in a nautical theme. It is a great place for a lively night out or a quiet drink in a cosy corner. Meanwhile, the hotel restaurant serves many delicious dishes and an excellent selection of wine. Glandore is ideally located by the sea, between Clonakilty and Skibbereen. The lovely village is wonderful for viewing flora and fauna, relaxing at the beach, sailing, scuba diving and kite surfing.
