It was great. But unless you have "sat-nav", booking.com directions won't get you there. We were using an Eirecode finder on my phone but as we got close, internet service suddenly quit. We had to telephone.

Do visit the art centre and the heritage centre, which has a largeish display about the famine, though it rather conceals the background reasons for why people were so impoverished -- ie, hundreds of years of oppression of Catholics by England. But we both learned a lot. Lough Hyne, by comparison, is not such a big deal. It may be a marine reserve, but there's very little wildlife there. A good place for swimming, however. The Church restaurant is fairly good, but very expensive, like so many restaurants in Ireland (ie, compared with London)

Skibbereen is a surprising pleasure. lovely small but varied high street, worth a wander, with variety of shops. Local Fields worth dropping in for the local produce and cakes. Lovely dinner at The Church Restaurant. Famine museum was definitely worth a visit too. Nicely done- lots of info and presented in a style where you leave sobered but not depressed!

People are very helpful and friendly, lovely shops, great farmers market with a great variety of stalls. Lots of cafes and we loved the Church Restaurant. Close proximity to coastal villages of Baltimore, Glandore, Union Hall and Castletownsend. Steeped in rich history and beautiful scenery! Loved the West Cork Hotel, we had such a peaceful and relaxing few days.

We loved the social life and made the most of the local pubs and restaurants. We especially liked the Church Restaurant and also had a couple of evenings in the Corner Pub.
The Saturday morning Farmers' Market was excellent, as was the range of cafes and boutique shops.
We enjoyed the Heritage Centre and the helpful genealogist helped me locate my living relatives in the town!
Within close proximity of the town are some lovely walks too.

Skibbereen town itself was okay, not many cafe options or restaurants. Grand place to pop into for a few bits. Wouldn't be a place I would stay for a break too busy. Eldon Hotel not up to Covid standards for restaurant service, no face masks or face shields on any staff, sanitizing rushed using same cloth for tables half wiped. Staff on top of each other & customers. Getting around Skibbereen a bit confusing as a lot of one way systems. Not much activity.
Place had shower gels, shampoo, toothpaste etc. + it had biscuits, cornflakes, milk etc. so I really liked that it was very well thought out in this sense. Check in was very easy. Although we could not meet with Fiona, the instructions she gave were very detailed. There is a great pub very close and the beach is very close too. It's a great place to stay and explore West Cork area.
EVERYTHING. By far & away the most enjoyable, restful & comfortable place to relax, dine & stay..
Welcoming staff, gorgeous food, spacious & comfortable rooms, luxurious bed linens, lots of opportunities to walk in spacious grounds & gardens.
GORGEOUS sauna pod, yoga pod & relaxation pod beside the lake. Located near enough to Skibbereen, Lough Hyne & Ballydehob for day trips.
We loved our stay with Christine. The photos undersell this beautiful house, it is very bright with tasteful furniture and floors, super comfy beds all set in beautiful countryside. We even got delicious scones for breakfast and excellent recommendations for what to explore around Baltimore and Skibbereen.
The room was spacious, spotless and clean. The dining area was lovely and the breakfast was tasty. Fine selection on the menu. During our stay Kathleen couldn't do enough for us plus she was an excellent hostess. If we stay in West Cork again we will hopefully stay here. Couldn't recommend it enough.
Marguerite was our favorite hostess during our trip. She was thoughtful, gave good suggestions for our time in the area, and the breakfast was delicious. She was very flexible when we changed our arrival time at the last minute to accommodate some schedule changes.
Beautiful B&B and beautiful couple.
I missed breakfast the last morning as I had to set off early for a long cycle and Ann packed me the most amazing little sambo set to keep me going.
Highly recommended and only a 5/10 minute walk down into Skibbereen town.
Breda and Ronnie were fantastic hosts and made our stay in Skibbereen extra special.They we’re extremely accommodating ,the breakfast was lovely and catered for our particular dietary requirements-nothing was too much trouble.
We had a wonderful time at Atlantic House. Kathleen is a marvelous host and makes every effort to make her guests feel comfortable and welcome - she is also a wealth of information about the beautiful area she lives in
Location right in the centre of Skibbereen. A great base to explore West Cork. Frank was very hospitable and gave so much information only a local would know. We really appreciated that!
All buildings were very nice with a mix of classic and cheeky decor. Wonderful staff, view, rooms, lounging areas, and grounds. Dinner and breakfast were great.
Cosy apartment. It was very warm and the shower was so powerful. Only 15 minute drive to Skibbereen. Lovely area to go for a walk with the water being so close.
