West Cork Autumn Break
Escape to West Cork This Winter
There's something about winter in West Cork that makes you want to slow down. The summer crowds have gone and crisp Atlantic mornings give way to cosy evenings by the fire. A stay at the Celtic Ross, a 4-star hotel in Rosscarbery, West Cork, puts you right at the heart of it, where coast, countryside and comfort come together.
Whether you're planning a weekend away or a longer winter escape, this is the perfect place to switch off. Start the day with a hearty breakfast, then explore walking and cycling routes in West Cork or take in the views along the Wild Atlantic Way in Cork. When the weather turns, warm up in our swimming pool and leisure centre, then enjoy seasonal local food at the Kingfisher Bistro in Rosscarbery before settling into one of our hotel rooms in West Cork.

Winter Breaks in West Cork for Families, Couples and Friends
Some breaks are about doing everything, while others are about doing very little, and a winter getaway in West Cork lets you do both. Families can enjoy winter family breaks, fairy trails and splashing in the pool on rainy days. Couples can take time out with crisp coastal walks and cosy evenings over dinner, while friends can explore the Wild Atlantic Way together before settling in for a relaxed night.
Whatever kind of break you are planning, the setting does most of the work. Quiet beaches, sea views, golden countryside and the gentle rhythm of village life create a winter escape that is hard to find anywhere else.
