ACCOMMODATION REVIEW
Don't be afraid - you won't be wrapped in cellophane, covered in seaweed or starved to death at the Lodge and Spa at Inchydoney. The philosophy here is to provide an environment of comfort and well being, where relaxation is a primary service feature, in a uniquely beautiful environment. Clonakilty by the way (and Inchydoney in particular) is one of the most picturesque locations in Ireland, beautifully endowed with white sandy beaches and ideal as a base from which to tour and explore the beautiful region of West Cork.

Central to the Lodge and Spa at Inchydoney is its excellent thalassotherapy (sea water therapy) centre. Thalassotherapy involves the medical use of heated seawater to restore health and vitality, while the theory behind it, is that fresh seawater heated to a specific temperature opens the pores and causes an exchange of minerals between the blood and seawater. Using water pumped directly from the sea the thalassotherapy centre at the Lodge and Spa is divided into private rooms with sophisticated equipment such as aeromarine baths, seawater jets, algae application, shower massage and physiotherapy, to name but a few. Other facilities include a steam room, sauna, fully equipped gymnasium and beauty clinic.

Quite aside from its scenic location and health facilities, there are plenty of other reasons to stay at the Lodge and Spa. The cuisine served in the "Gulfstream" and "Contented Plaice" restaurants puts paid to the popular misconception that you have to starve yourself and abandon all thoughts of enjoying food to stay slim, trim and healthy, while the accommodation is also second to none, with 20 fully fitted apartments overlooking the beach, complimenting the 67 rooms of the Lodge itself.
