Hotels in County Cork, Ireland

County Cork is on Ireland's southwest coast, with a mild, rainy climate-summers average 60°F (16°C) and winters around 45°F (7°C). Famous for its rugged coastline, you can hike the Beara Way in spring for wildflowers or surf at Inchydoney Beach in summer. In winter, warm up with live traditional Irish music in Cork City's pubs, like Sin É, where sessions trace back to the region's folk revival. Avoid the peak July-August crowds by visiting in May or September.
