From the moment we walked in we were made to feel at home by the staff. The rooms were clean and airy and the bar was full of friendly locals. There was a full menu with excellently prepared, presented and served foods. We will stay again if we are ever in the area. more

My new husband and I recently had our wedding reception at The West Cork Hotel and had the best day of our lives!! This hotel is Irelands best kept secret!! Food, staff and service 10 out of 10!! We'll definitely be going back - even just for a bowl of the best soup ever!! more

I was over in Ireland for a long birthday weekend and we were based here. Its the only real choice in Skibbereen other than guest houses and €109 per night probably reflects that monopoly. Location is absolutely fine and it's central to the town. Service and staff were excellent. Ground floor, the main reception rooms and the dining room were... more

Had a very pleasant surprise when I stayed here. Was not expecting the room to be as nice as their website is not great and doesnt really show the rooms.

We stayed at the West Cork Hotel for 2 nights over the Cork X South West Music Festival. We were anxious as we had read some dubious reviews on this site and I am delighted to say that I can't give the hotel anything but the greatest of praise. The staff were fabulous - always smiling and really helpful. Just... more

Our room was very large and very clean, but I would have welcomed a real... more

The West Cork Hotel was a very pleasurable stay. In all honesty I could not find one thing to complain about, the room was excellent, the food good especially the late up to breakfast noon each day such a great idea, the bar was comfortable and well laid out. What the West Cork had in abundance was a staff who... more
