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 hosts are lovely, friendly and helpful. The room was very comfortable and the towels were soft and fluffy. The house and gardens are beautiful and there is a lovely view. There is also a lounge area available for guests and space to park your car or motorbike. Breakfast was wonderful (better than the 4 star hotel we stayed at in Cork)! We were presented with a little home-baked birthday cake too!
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.
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.
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.
Atlantic B&B is in a fabulous location in a quiet location in countryside, short distance from Skibbereen. Kathleen is wonderful host, friendly, warm, welcoming and knowledgeable on the area. Breakfast is a lovely choice. Would highly recommend this B&B. One of the best we have stayed in.
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
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
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!
