MINI is giving '48 hours in a MINI' to anyone who'd like to discover their range and make spinning around all the more enjoyable. You'll be glad to know there's plenty of room for fur-friends too. (Hurrah!)
So, here's Sarah's suggested itinerary for a full week of exploring with your doggo:
Day 1
"Arrive in Castletownbere. Check into the dog-friendly Beara Coast Hotel and get some rest after a long day's travel."
Day 2
"Enjoy breakfast in the hotel after a peaceful sleep, then hit the road to Kenmare. Take in all there is in the town, have a coffee and watch the world go by.
"Next up: Sneem. Check in to the dog-friendly Sneem Hotel then hit the village and embrace the unplanned.
"You might end up soaking up the rays sitting with locals outside the pub or munching on salty chips on picnic benches while soaking up the atmosphere of this gorgeous little town."
Day 3
"Check into the art studio Airbnb in Ballingeary and climb into bed in preparation for another day of adventure."
Day 4
"Soak in the tub before breakfast, then hit the road to check out Gougane Barra (it's a beautiful walk) before arriving in Glengarriff to wander around this beautiful town. Then take a boat to stunning Garnish Island.
"Travel on to Ballydehob and check into yet another dog-friendly Airbnb. It's a barn that has been converted into a cottage. It's off the beaten tracks and it's complete with private sauna and jacuzzi. Enjoy the jacuzzi before whiling away the evening reading books in front of the stove."
Day 5
"Take a breathtaking walk right beside the cottage before your breakfast of eggs, local cheese and coffee (provided by the host) and hit the road again.
"Drive towards Sheep's Head stopping in the cute Heron Gallery for coffee. Maybe find a beach off the beaten track and hop in for a swim if the weather allows.
"Travel The Sheep's Head Way for the day, stopping in whichever tiny towns you like before heading towards Bantry for dinner."
