Discover the Island: Irish celebs share their favourite staycation spots

We’re all finding new places to holiday in this year. Jennifer Stevens asked some of Ireland’s famous faces to share their favourite new discoveries

TV presenter Anna Daly and her three boys stay at Inchydoney.

If the last 16 months have been good for anything, it’s that it has given us all a chance to discover parts of the country that we’ve never known well before. Staycations may not have been what a lot of us planned for our summer getaways but up and down the country people are marvelling at the beauty of Irish beaches, rolling hills and sunsets over mountain ridges. Finally, we’re seeing why the American tourists were coming in their droves!

Aoibhin Garrihy has two small daughters and is pregnant with her third child, but that didn’t stop her and husband John from jumping in a camper van recently and doing a mini road trip. John is in the travel industry, he owns the Armada Hotel in Spanish Point, Co Clare, so the couple know a thing or two about how important it is to support our hospitality industry. They’ve been exploring the country over the last months and have discovered some new (to them) gems.
