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!

Lovely people
Clean and comfortable room
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.
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!
The gardens were amazing, it felt like being in a jungle and around every bend was something new to see or enjoy. The hot tub was fantastic and as it was enclosed it could be used in any weather. Although we were less than 10 minutes from Skibbereen town it felt so secluded. The hosts couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating, the house had so many books, games and jigsaw puzzles so we got to enjoy multiple games of scrabble and the WiFi was great
Place had shower gels, shampoo, toothpaste etc. + it had biscuits, cornflakes, milk etc. so I really liked that it was very well thought out in this sense. Check in was very easy. Although we could not meet with Fiona, the instructions she gave were very detailed. There is a great pub very close and the beach is very close too. It's a great place to stay and explore West Cork area.
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.
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 had a fantastic stay in Stone Barn, which was ideally located close to Skibbereen and Ballydehob. The hosts were so friendly and attentive and provided us with an absolutely delicious breakfast both mornings. The place was spotlessly clean and so comfortable, perfect for a break away. We would love to stay there again.
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.
Friendly owners, delicious breakfast, very clean rooms and the beautiful garden made our stay great. Highly recommended. If you stay here, it is easy to travel around west cork, as Skibbereen is a very nice town and on the N71 which is very handy.
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.
