Life is BUSY. Things get hectic and chaotic, operating in seeming warp-speed and so many of us don’t take the time we need to relax and reset. If you find yourself in constant go-mode, maybe you should consider setting aside a weekend to recharge the batteries? We very conveniently sourced a great list of places to stay in Ireland where you can unplug the cell phone and plug in the soul.

The Cliffs of Moher Retreat sits at about the mid-way point on the Wild Atlantic Way. Offering loads of retreats throughout the week and on weekends, this place is about as tranquil as it gets.
