Travel editor’s choice: Tom Breathnach's top 10 stays of 2022

As the year draws to a close, Travel Editor Tom Breathnach rounds up his list of top hotels breaks

After about 40 fine hotel stays in Ireland this year, here are my top ten.

After about 40 fine hotel stays in Ireland this year, choosing my favourite properties was a trip down memory lane. Ireland’s hospitality industry has come so far in recent years and all the spots I stayed in offered some truly great aspects. But when it comes to great hospitality, dining design, comfort, warm welcomes and value, some just stood out more than others when it comes to a whole package experience. From established favourites which continue to deliver to spots off my radar which totally wowed, here are my top stays (in reverse order!) of 2022.
