If you are in search of a hotel to spend a cosy winter getaway at, the World Travel Awards has named the location it deems to be the best in Ireland. If it's blue flag beaches, local artwork, and a nearby picturesque village you are after, it might be high time that you make a trip down to West Cork. Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa was named Ireland’s leading Hotel 2025 at the World Travel Awards (Europe). The prestigious event took place at a glittering gala event on the Italian island of Sardinia. Members of the travel trade industry and consumers picked the hotel, which is a family business that has been running for over 25 years. Staff at Inchydoney were thrilled to hear they had secured the award, with the hotel's owner, Des O’Dowd, saying: 'We’re all delighted. 'We were in great company in the Ireland’s Leading Hotel 2025 category, and to come out on top is a testament to the team here and the incredible work they put into making our guests feel so welcome.' 'We’re particularly proud that the consumer vote counts in these awards, as for us, making our customers happy and offering them the break they deserve is what we’re all about. We’re celebrating here today in West Cork!' Inchydoney famously makes the most of its breathtaking location, as it lies on the doorstep of many of the finest food producers and suppliers in the country. If supporting local is your thing, the hotel's award-winning restaurant menus are stacked with food and drink produced in the area. In addition, you’ll find beautiful Irish craftsmanship on display throughout the hotel, from art to furniture, and beautiful craftwork.
