Was going to say, you're spoiled for choice if you're in Cork already
Head out west in Cork county - all along the south coast - Kinsale, Schull, Clonakilty and loads of other towns on the coast are really beautiful.
Or up to Kerry - I was on the Ring of Kerry last year for the first time in my life and it's AMAZING. You also have the Dingle Peninsula, and the Beara Peninsula (which I have never been on - yet!).
I'm don't know that end of the country terribly well - I'd try to sell Donegal to you but even by my standards that's a bit far away for a 4-day break!
But if all you do is get lost anywhere along the coast of Cork or Kerry, you won't go far wrong.
Best of luck!0 -

Can I pick a hotel in Cork west, spend a day there and spend the other three days in Kerry? Does the plan sound good?HeidiHeidi wrote: »Was going to say, you're spoiled for choice if you're in Cork already

Of course you could, but you'd spend the guts of a day travelling from one to the other, and while it's not exactly hardship, you might be missing out on some gems in Cork.
If it were me, I'd do one or the other if you've only four days.
Get yourself a map of Cork and Kerry, have a look along the coastline and you'll get an idea of just how many towns there are to see/stay/eat in. You could spend a week just doing the south coast of Cork alone!
Where are you based in Cork (ie where would you be travelling from?) Bear in mind that the roads in rural Cork and Kerry are not exactly made for motorway speeds - to say the least 0 -

Thanks HeidiHeidi. I am in cork city.
Looks like it's better I chose one.
If I have to visit west cork, is is better to take day trips to different places and come back home everyday or should I hop on to different hotels in the area?
Whats the best way to see the ring of kerry using a car? Stay in a hotel and spend the days visiting places. Or go to a different hotel in a different area everyday.
Sorry if I am asking noob questions.0 -
