Treating your amour to an overnight getaway?

There are few things as romantic as dinner by the ocean, but one West Cork hotel has gone one step further to mark Valentine’s Day 2023, keeping the love local with a special floral gift.

This year, Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa has teamed up with Bumblebee Flower Farm in Drimoleague to treat guests to a selection of locally grown hyacinths and narcissus.

Bumblebee Flower Farm’s motto is ‘Always Grown, Never Flown’, so you can rest assured your beautiful bouquet will only have only travelled mere kilometres to reach the resort.

“After dinner in the Gulfstream Restaurant, with its spectacular views over Atlantic, guests can retire to one of the luxurious guestrooms featuring a private balcony and listen to the waves crashing below,” they told us.

“The following morning, they’ll enjoy the wonderful West Cork Breakfast. During their stay, guests can make the most of the relaxing heated Seawater Therapy Pool, hammam, and Ocean View Relaxation Areas in the Island Spa.”

Now that’s romance. Prices are from €180 per person sharing – see inchydoneyisland.com for more.
