We loved our stay at West Cork. We stayed there our first 2 nights in Ireland. Our room had a balcony where we could look out at the town and the river. Breakfast was so good. Not only was there a cold buffet but we could order off the menu. This was included in the price of our room, which was a reasonable price. The absolute best part was the staff. They were all incredibly nice, but I want to especially mention Csaba at the front desk. He greeted us when we first arrived, and was very helpful. I want to also mention Paul Cheung in the bar. Our first night in Ireland, we were tired and very hungry and didn't want to go anywhere. Paul had dinner brought to us in the bar, and I have to say it was some of the best food we had during our trip. Absolutely delicious! Both of these men as well as the breakfast staff and other staff at the front desk were all very warm yet professional and so kind. Thank you!

Absolutely gorgeous, met and exceeded my expectations. Easy to find just off the Wild Atlantic Way, Bebhinn & Brian gave excellent instructions and even had the bed made before I arrived. Got in fairly late in the afternoon so I didn't see Bebhinn & Brian then but managed to catch Bebhinn before I left in the morning.

Very nice location. The lady owner was very friendly and made a fabulous breakfast. The room for 3 is very small but the beds are comfortable and the bedding was beautiful. Thiny bathroom but very clean.
This family-run hotel has a quiet location, looking out over the harbor and the mouth of the River Ilen. It has free parking, a traditional Irish pub and an award-winning seafood restaurant.

Casey’s of Baltimore is quaint and cozy, with kind staff. We had a great nights sleep in the quiet environment and all the food at the restaurant and the breakfast was fabulous.
Overlooking a beautiful bay on Ireland’s south coast, Channel View offers peaceful accommodations with free Wi-Fi. A delicious breakfast with home-baking and local produce is served every morning.

Great location from which to explore the far south west Ireland. The full Irish breakfast was a fantastic start to the days. Easy walk into town for restaurants, and scenic walks.
Located in the picturesque fishing village of Union Hall, Seascape B&B overlooks Glandore Harbor. With free WiFi and free onsite parking, this charming house is on the seafront.

The breakfast has ar least 6 choices to choose from plus extras like plenty if brown bread and toast as well as gooseberry jam! The room was spacious and clean and the bathroom was large enough in size. It was a great experience.
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.
My friend and I stayed in Stone Barn for one night, and it BEYOND exceeded our expectations. We were made feel so welcome by Karin and Stuart. The place is just stunning, we were both blown away. It is comfortable, bright, spacious and clean, with an incredible breakfast.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It's about a 10min drive outside of Skibbereen town in the country, which suited us perfectly. We loved it and would recommend to anyone over and over again.
The gardens were amazing, it felt like being in a jungle and around every bend was something new to see or enjoy. The hot tub was fantastic and as it was enclosed it could be used in any weather. Although we were less than 10 minutes from Skibbereen town it felt so secluded. The hosts couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating, the house had so many books, games and jigsaw puzzles so we got to enjoy multiple games of scrabble and the WiFi was great
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 old hotel is in a wonderful location right on the river and across from the Heritage Center. It offers a clean room with full bar and restaurant services for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The hotel concierge was extremely helpful and let us check in early to get our of the pouring down rain. The family atmosphere was great. The bartender was such a fun person.
The Location and grounds of the hotel are really outstanding with a lovely walk down to the lake. They also accommodate less mobile guests by providing `golf carts` for easy access to the grounds. Very friendly and helpful staff. We also found the food to be excellent, The rooms very comfortable, clean and well maintained. We had a very relaxing stay.
Wonderful location for visiting the west of Cork. Breakfast was great and Ann and her husband were wonderful hosts. We had dinner one evening at the Eldon Hotel and to say the lady there was worth her weight in information and history is an understatement. Didn’t get her name but she was amazing.
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.
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
Beautiful location, great welcome from host! Stunning views, close to local pub for good evening menu! 10 minutes drive to Skibbereen!
A jewel in the south west !
Will return in the future for sure!
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.
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.
