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 B&B was lovely and clean with handy fridge out on landing.
The breakfasts were absolutely beautiful.
The location is great, fantastic base for traveling around West Cork ;Castletownshend 5 minute drive, Skibbereen 10 minutes drive, Baltimore 25 minutes, Bantry 35 minutes, Glandore 20 minutes.
There’s a gorgeous beach 5 minute walk from the B&B.
The hosts Kathleen and John could not have been more welcoming and helpful during our stay!
Would definitely recommend ⭐️
We will be back no doubt to revisit!
The staff were very helpful, friendly, professional. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was included in the price which was very good value. There was a breakfast buffet as well as a cooked breakfast which was served by a lady called Shiela. I was very impressed with the service and levels of professionalism. I was made so welcome to the West Cork Hotel I highly rate and look forward to staying there again in the future.
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.
Ann and Séamus were fantastic hosts- Really friendly and accommodating- The room was very clean, the house was beautiful and the breakfast was excellent- They were so kind and even gave me a lift to a nearby venue that I was attending for a wedding- I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a stay around the Skibereen and South West Cork area
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!
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.
From start to finish the entire team looked after you, this is a truely magical experience. The lake sauna is a must, have a dip in the lake, you won't regret it. I'd like to thank everyone at the hotel for making our stay so pleasurable it's 5 stars from me ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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!
Location was excellent and suited for a pet. Hosts were very welcoming and helpful. Very quiet area and great country walks. Town was only 10 mins drive and close to all West Cork attractions.
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.
