Robert, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This place is made by the staff who are very friendly and lovely. It is somewhat dated but in the limited options in Skibbereen is clearly the local place to go for big events - on both days we stayed there were big family parties.
Victoria, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved sitting in the lobby waiting to meet up with family. And the food was delicious. But the staff was exceptional. They were very accommodating and made our stay very comfortable (I was traveling with my 91-year old mother). And she cannot wait to go back next year!
Robert, 3-night trip

For an annual family golf trip to Skibbereen we stay at The West Cork Hotel. It’s clean, staff are friendly and it’s in a good location. It’s also reasonably priced. Breakfast is good too.
