Cork County, Ireland is the largest county in the nation. It is located in the southwestern portion of the country and is a very popular tourist destination. The county offers a mix of urban and country activities. There is plenty of seaside adventure to be had in Cork County, and yachting is popular with the upscale crowd.

The center of urban life in Cork County is Cork City. This ancient city sits on the water and is very much a center of maritime activities. It’s a great place to visit for those with a desire to learn about Ireland’s history-this city dates back to the Vikings-and for those who want a little urban adventure during their vacation.

The countryside of Cork County is beautiful and, in the western section of the county, excellent for those who want to get off the beaten path, or off of any path at all, for that matter. The country has a well-deserved reputation for being hospitable and warm and tourism is so intrinsically important to the economy in Cork that one will find little difficulty in obtaining accommodations. When you’re making your choice, a B&B anywhere in Cork County is a good option.

B&B’s offer excellent quality accommodations, most often in a family home which is much more conducive to a relaxing vacation than is staying in a hotel. B&B’s are sometimes located in the commercial districts of a city and, oftentimes, located in neighborhoods where one can get an authentic taste of life in the city in which they’ve chosen to stay.

B&B’s are also a great option for those who come seeking to attend one of Cork County’s many festivals. During the spring time months of March and May, there is ample music to be taken in. March sees the Celtfest visit Cork City which celebrates the music and cultural heritage of Ireland. May continues the musical tradition with the Cork International Choral Festival, also held in Cork City. Staying at a B&B is an excellent choice when such festivals come to town. Instead of being caught up in the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas, you’ll be temporarily residing at a peaceful, relaxing home that offers some space to get away from all the excitement, recharge and head right back into it completely refreshed.

If you’re seeking a more relaxed vacation and to tour sites that are exciting in a quieter fashion, B&B’s are great resources of knowledge for tourists. The locals that run and staff them are usually very familiar with the most sought after tourist experiences as well as being knowledgeable about what exists outside of the realm of typical tourist endeavors. Consider this advantage when you’re debating what sort of accommodations to hire.

Remember that the “breakfast” in B&B is one of those establishment’s greatest advantages. Seeking out breakfast in an unfamiliar town can be quite an affair but beginning a tour with a warm meal already taken makes the entire experience much more enjoyable.
