Staycations 2025: A holiday for your tastebuds

Dining at the Eccles Hotel, Glengarriff, Co Cork, one of Kate Ryan's personal selections for a good food staycation.
Spring has sprung, and the wanderlust is upon me. But where to go?
Beara Peninsula and Westport are destinations I keep returning to with so much to explore, see and do with great places to stay, characterful pubs and wonderful restaurants. Equally enchanting is the Garden of Ireland — County of Wicklow. Generously endowed with stunning scenery and a storied past, perfect for the active at heart, and a very exciting artisan food and drink scene.
