If ever there was a place for artists and writers to “get away to,” Sue Booth-Forbes’ captivating and inspiring sanctuary, resting on a hillside overlooking Coulagh Bay on the Beara Peninsula in County Cork, Ireland, is it. Here all the writer or artist has to do is write or paint, and Sue takes care of the rest. Anam Cara is not a bed and breakfast, a motel, a hotel, or hostel. Anam Cara is designed specifically for artists or writers looking for peace and quiet, and a place to dig deeply into their work at their own pace, without distraction. Do yourself a favor and check out Sue’s website listed below. You’ll thank me. - Peter Dunne
