West Cork Hotel, hotel in Skibbereen

Overlooking the Ilen River and close to the center of Skibbereen, the West Cork Hotel has a restaurant and a bar. Free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel and free on site parking are available.

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!

    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.

    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

    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

    Great estate with beautiful gardens (Sky Garden not the only highlight but definitely a must). The hotel was just labeled Relais et Châteaux. It will get a worldwide recognition with this and it will help the new management improve even more the facilities over the coming years. We enjoyed very much the gym, sauna and swim in the lake. We also liked very much the private garden tour with Paul and we highly recommend it.

    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.

    We had a fantastic stay in Stone Barn, which was ideally located close to Skibbereen and Ballydehob. The hosts were so friendly and attentive and provided us with an absolutely delicious breakfast both mornings. The place was spotlessly clean and so comfortable, perfect for a break away. We would love to stay there again.

    The room was spacious, spotless and clean. The dining area was lovely and the breakfast was tasty. Fine selection on the menu. During our stay Kathleen couldn't do enough for us plus she was an excellent hostess. If we stay in West Cork again we will hopefully stay here. Couldn't recommend it enough.

    A lovely little bar/restaurant area with very tasty food on the menu! The breakfast menu had a good variety of options and breakfast attendant was anxious to ensure we had everything we needed. The hotel is in a fantastic location for exploring Skibbereen and we would definitely stay here again.
