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.
Perfectly clean, sometimes pet friendly places surprise you being unclean (!!) Not here, bathroom, shower, floor and.room really clean without smelling of last minute wash up that even some hotels fail.
Bed very comfortable and very quiet place.
Hardwood floor and tiles helped us keeping the dogs in check.
The room, although we didn't ask for breakfast or anything similar, was fully equipped with milk, different types of tea, butter and jam, sugar, kettle and a fridge!
Hairdryer also provided and plenty of toiletries if needed
Christine and Ken (and the kids) embody the authentic warm Irish welcome experience. I’m from the area and have been away for 30 years. To come back and stay in their apartment and be welcomed into their home for a proper Irish breakfast and chat was heart filling and a wonderful way to introduce my partner and son to the Irish way of life. For as long as they offer this bed and breakfast, I will be a repeat customer. 5 stars
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.
Christine and her lovely family were the best hosts we could imagine. We will definitely come back the next time we come to Ireland. The cottage was very convenient and cosy. The area is absolutely beautiful and offers many opportunities for hiking, running and water sports nearby. We loved Heir Island, Cape Clear and Lough Hyne. We wish we could have stayed longer.
The owners were very nice and they let us do late check in although it was stated as 8 pm in the rules.
The place is in the center of Skibbereen with access to pubs, restaurants and in a good place to explore West Cork area. They are serving breakfast in the mornings which you can choose out of some options. Check in and check out were easy.
I only stayed for one night, as I had an appointment in the area. Having said that. I'd have been happy to stay for longer. The room was spacious, the bed comfortable, and the breakfast items in the room meant I was completely independent. I had a good chat with the owner, who was very friendly and welcoming. All in all, a lovely experience.
We stayed in Annie Mays for two nights and had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. We ate there both nights and the meals were delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would recommend this b&b - location is right in the centre of Skibbereen. Large parking area across the road
Friendly owners, delicious breakfast, very clean rooms and the beautiful garden made our stay great. Highly recommended. If you stay here, it is easy to travel around west cork, as Skibbereen is a very nice town and on the N71 which is very handy.
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
The apartment was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The location was great, both for visiting Skibbereen and as a base for exploring West Cork. Frank was very welcoming and helpful which we really appreciated!
Lovely, quiet location not too far away from skibbereen. Hosts were very friendly and the accommodation was very clean and comfortable. Incredible garden and hot tub area. Suitable for any group
A fantastic country house hotel. very relaxing from the moment we arrived. Staff excellent . Fabulous walks through the forest and down to the lake. cant wait to return.
