    It was great.

    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.

    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.

    Great B&B, easy to find in a quiet location only a short drive from the centre of Skibbereen. The room was very comfy and had everything I need for my stay. Breakfast was lovely, there is a choice of cereal, fruit as well as a cooked breakfast. Marguerite is a lovely lady and a great host very welcoming and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

    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.

    Kenny and Christine were super friendly and welcoming, the beds were comfy and Kenny helped us set up the tv so we could watch the rugby :D The location was a great base for that area, close to Skibb and Ballydehob and spots like Lough Hyne, Tragumna etc. It was so quiet and peaceful. The cat was super friendly which is always a bonus for me!

    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.

    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.
