Blarney Woollen Mills Hotel, Cork, Ireland

• Lengthy history: Blarney Woollen Mills was built in 1923 and made some of Ireland’s best wools and tweeds – it later became a gift shop and then added a hotel. The hotel is built within its old stone walls and much of its character remains; it’s the perfect spot for enjoying a thoroughly Irish escape, with Blarney Castle and the city of Cork a few minutes away.
  
  
• Dine in style: The Mill restaurant serves Irish breakfasts and classic dishes from the Emerald Isle, like the famous beef stew and delicious carvery roasts. Lighter dishes can be enjoyed in Christy’s Bar, named after the founder of the woollen mill, while afternoon teas feature sweet and savoury treats as well as traditional homemade scones.
  
  
• Restful rooms: Enjoy a good night’s sleep in one of the hotel’s 47 bedrooms, each one beautifully appointed with wool details and images of the mill in its heyday. Rooms range from cosy singles to expansive suites, and many have magnificent views over Blarney Castle.
