Amazing- five star service and the food was truly better than some of Londons best restaurants! The staff are tentative and always there when needed. The location is surrounded by a short drive to some of the most exquisite views. Great Holiday away

I am writing this review of The West Cork Hotel to highlight my experience. I recently travelled to the hotel with my own with a baby. After booking from Lidl breaks I contacted the hotel in advance to request a suitable room (even though we had an ‘offer’) the hotel obliged and provided us with a wheelchair friendly family room....

The staff were absolutely exceptional, very friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. When I was about to leave ,to get... More

We will be back! The staff at the West Cork hotel are amazing. Friendly, accommodating and so helpful. And the food! Breakfast was delicious and our supper most satisfactory. We return from our trip to Skib sated, relaxed and determined to repeat the experience as soon as possible. In fact, we've already booked!

Lovely clean hotel. The staff are really friendly, the bar food is just beautiful. Rooms decor is nice and bright and new looking. The only let down is the bathroom, mine was very small and pokey, also the shower was not the greatest. There is wifi around the hotel which has excellent signal strength. I would certainly stay here again.

The West Cork Hotel is so well known in the area and has undergone a make-over a few years ago with new owner Tim Looney. Although the outside still looks pretty much the same, he has added a very bright modern lounge / reception area, great seating outside on the old railway bridge, updated rooms and above all, is there...

Our family group of six spent two off season nights at this fine establishment. This is a mature property that is simple on the outside and simply elegant on the inside. The rooms were very clean and comfortable but it was that common areas, the food and the staff that made this a truly pleasurable stay. Our rooms included a... More
