Gougane Barra Hotel - Macroom, County Cork, IE, Ireland Review

This hotel is more like a B&B; very cozy - not fancy, with the exception of the food.  Dined on a 4 course meal which was absolutely incredible.  The hosts, the Luceys, are a very hard-working, very friendly couple with a great sense of humor who very clearly care about their guests.  The setting is too much for words and hard to even capture with a camera lens.  Just beautiful.  Gougane Barra Forest Park is a place from a fairy tale with green mossy forests, wildflowers, waterfalls, creeks and shamrocks.

It is a really lovely place to stay and I can't recommend it enough.  Check out their website for additional info and if you are in County Cork, do go see Neil and Katy Lucey.  Have the "porridge" (oatmeal) with Bailey's Irish Cream and chocolate chips for breakfast - no better way to start an Irish morning!
