While there are many reasons never to leave during a stay at The Montenotte Hotel, the team are passionate about sharing their passion and pride for the county they call home. Perfectly located at the nexus of Cork city and the Wild Atlantic Way, there is so much to discover and explore from a vibrant city, coastal villages and breath-taking scenery across the rugged coastline and landscape of West Cork.

For those who prefer not to venture too far, Nano Nagle Place, Ocean Escapes and Blackrock Castle Observatory, one of Cork’s hidden gems are all within 10-minutes from the hotel

Jump into Cork city life, just a 15-minute walk away to explore cultural hubs and museums, art galleries, foodie hotspots and markets. Don’t miss the Crawford Art Gallery and https://www.glucksman.org/ Glucksman Gallery, while The English Market is a must-see!

A little further afield, a 20-minute drive will transport you to an abundance of attractions including Jameson Distillery Midleton, Fota Wildlife Park and Blarney Castle & Gardens.

These are just a taster with so much more to discover and explore. From destination highlights to journeys off the beaten track, we have collated a list of recommendations to help you make the most of your stay in the world’s 3rd friendliest city.
