Because who doesn’t love a good hot tub?
Mother Nature has finally decided to thaw out, better weather is coming our way and there’s plenty of bank holiday weekends on the horizon.
The last two years have taught us to explore our own city and county, and why wouldn’t we want to take full advantage of this beautiful place we call home?
If you’re in search of somewhere nearby to kick back and soak (quite literally) in the sun, look no further. We’ve rounded up a list of eight Airbnbs available to rent in Cork, all of which come with a vibey hot tub.
