Marguerite is everything an old school lovely Irish hostess is but at the same time has adapted to modern times seamlessly. Her house and manicured gardens were a peaceful respite for me in Skibereen. My room faced the lush back garden which was very pleasant and calming. Her breakfast was to die for and there were so many extra choices including: fresh fruit, yogurts, cereals, granola, a traditional Irish breakfast made to order, fresh coffee and a selection of teas and fresh juices. She was extremely welcoming, pleasant and kind. I enjoyed our conversations immensely! There was also a very comfortable and homey sitting room to enjoy at your leisure and when I arrived she offered me a cup of coffee which was accompanied by her home baked delicious fruitcake. It really does not get better than this folks.

We had the best time in The Stone Barn. The room was very comfortable, the bathroom very spacious, the food was delicious and the surroundings incredibly wholesome. The hot tub was an added bonus! A spot for animal lovers; home to 5 cats, a bustling chicken coup and Matilda, the gorgeous terrier-whippet cross. Thank you Stuart and Karin for your lovely hospitality.

Honestly everything was exceptional, the welcome we received, the lovely staff, the gorgeous estate house which felt like it was ours for the weekend, the grounds, sauna, Sky Garden and of course the comfy beds. We left feeling so relaxed and are still floating on air. The blue skies and sunshine helped too!

Ample breakfasts!
This family-run hotel has a quiet location, looking out over the harbour and the mouth of the River Ilen. It has free parking, a traditional Irish pub and an award-winning seafood restaurant.
Overlooking a beautiful bay on Ireland’s south coast, Channel View offers peaceful accommodation with free Wi-Fi. A delicious breakfast with home-baking and local produce is served every morning.
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
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.
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.
Ann and Séamus were fantastic hosts- Really friendly and accommodating- The room was very clean, the house was beautiful and the breakfast was excellent- They were so kind and even gave me a lift to a nearby venue that I was attending for a wedding- I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a stay around the Skibereen and South West Cork area
I only stayed for one night, as I had an appointment in the area. Having said that. I'd have been happy to stay for longer. The room was spacious, the bed comfortable, and the breakfast items in the room meant I was completely independent. I had a good chat with the owner, who was very friendly and welcoming. All in all, a lovely experience.
We loved our stay with Christine. The photos undersell this beautiful house, it is very bright with tasteful furniture and floors, super comfy beds all set in beautiful countryside. We even got delicious scones for breakfast and excellent recommendations for what to explore around Baltimore and Skibbereen.
Location was excellent and suited for a pet. Hosts were very welcoming and helpful. Very quiet area and great country walks. Town was only 10 mins drive and close to all West Cork attractions.
Great location, walking distance to restaurants in the town. Skibbereen was a great base to explore west cork with baltimore and bantry nearby along with loads of beaches.
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.
I stayed in this hotel 2 years ago and must say that really liked the new bathrooms. Rooms and bathrooms were very clean and had no issue with anything.
