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.

Stunningly beautiful house and grounds. Relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Friendly staff. Very comfortable beds.
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.

Perfect location in Union Hall. Amazingly friendly and hard working host Adella. Varied breakfast, without hot eggs, but with everything else. Rooms overlooking Glandore Harbor. Short walk to pubs and restaurants in town. Property is updated and is perfectly clean. QUIET!!
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.
We had a wonderful stay at Lisa Ard Estate. It was so nice to sit by the fire in this beautiful old manor and have a drink and a game of chess. The food was really tasty and you could tell it was high quality stuff. The staff were so friendly and attentive. In the morning we went for a walk around the grounds and enjoyed spotting little bits of history. Liss Ard Estate offers something a little bit different to most hotels. It was certainly the best value for money we've seen in a long time. Thank you!
Katherine was an amazing host. Nothing was too much trouble. Because we were travelling on motorbikes she even gave us a lift to the pub and back for our evening meal. We had the use of a lounge in the evening, so we could socialise with our friends and the fridge at the top of the stairs with fresh milk and bottled water was a lovely touch. The breakfasts were first class, served in a lovely conservatory with sea views.
We would definitely book again, if we were in the area. Highly recommended.
Christine and Ken (and the kids) embody the authentic warm Irish welcome experience. I’m from the area and have been away for 30 years. To come back and stay in their apartment and be welcomed into their home for a proper Irish breakfast and chat was heart filling and a wonderful way to introduce my partner and son to the Irish way of life. For as long as they offer this bed and breakfast, I will be a repeat customer. 5 stars
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.
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.
It is a very beautiful remote house, just outside of Skibbereen. The neighborhood is quiet and it’s generally a good place to stay. Pat and Kaithleen were very accommodating and helpful, quite pleasant people. Pat is very positive and talkative and want to learn a lot of stuff about his visitors and their country.
We stayed in Annie Mays for two nights and had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. We ate there both nights and the meals were delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would recommend this b&b - location is right in the centre of Skibbereen. Large parking area across the road
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
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!
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.
