In Savannah White’s article “A Five-Day Road Trip Through Southern Ireland” published by YOLO Journal, White talks us through her trip around Ireland, describing it as “a place that doesn’t feel the need to boast—just quietly beautiful, deeply charming, and somehow still a little slept on among my travel friends.”​

“That night’s stay, The Montenotte, sits above the city, with sweeping views. We stayed in one of their new Woodland Suites, designed by Irish architects Henry J Lyons and interior designer Róisín Lafferty, tucked into the trees like a luxe treehouse. Deep green walls, velvet armchairs, brass accents, and playful mid-century lighting created a space that felt both bold and cocooning. At the center of the room, a large freestanding bathtub added a touch of quiet luxury, and the smaller details, like locally made ceramics for morning coffee and wool throws, tied it all back to Ireland.”
