Latest Skibbereen hotel reviews
WhispersWest Says: This was a delightful way to learn about the history of Skibbbereen. The museum presents its unvarnished history in a platable manor. Housed in the old Glassworks buildings, The Centre has been very attentive in creating as interactive of a museum as they possibly were able....
Talk a Walk Through a Trying Time
WhispersWest Says: The Skibbereen trail is a tour in which the walker visits sites which have direct links with the Great Irish Famine. Each site is unique. Some commemorate great works of philanthropy, others of emigration, more of Relief Schemes, while others tell of famine, fever and death....

A nice drive along the N71 to Ballydehob
songlines Says: Well, you can drive and take in the beautiful scenery, or you can walk along the road but it is not so nice as there is quite a bit of traffic on this road. If you drive, there are regular lay-by's where you can stop and take in the scenery or make photos.In May or June this...
Whitethorn Lodge: Fantastic Friendly B and B
MikeStarr5 Says: (Updated June 2010) We have stayed at Whitethorn Lodge 5 or 6 times over the last 5 years and it has become like a 2nd home to us. (We have relatives in the area, who we regularly come and visit but who unfortunately don't have enough room to accomodate us.) Sheila and...
Whitethorn Lodge: Surely Skibbereen's Nicest B & B
MikeStarr5 Says: I have stayed at Charles and Sheila's Bed and Breakfast 4 or 5 times now and suspect that I will be going back again quite soon. You really could not wish for more there. You always get a warm welcome from them and their lovely cat and 2 dogs. Although I should stress that...
PK LOdge: Great Views, Excellent Food
WhispersWest Says: Kathleen & Pat O'Donovan are phenomenal hosts. They anticipate a guest's every need and make sure that you are more than comfortable from the second you arrive. The beds are super comfortable, the linens were crisp and cool. A plus was in being able to open the windows to...

The Stove: Unassuming but don't pass it over!
WhispersWest Says: The Stove caused me to reflect back to the old main street diners I used to frequent with my Mom & Dad as we traveled when I was a child. It is very unassuming on the outside, as are most diners. The service was impeccable. The restaurant was clean and well appointed. The...
Baby Hannah's: Trad Music at it's Best in West Cork
WhispersWest Says: Don't let the name fool you. This pub has been around since the 19th century. We chose the pub after more than one shop keeper said that it was THE place to go for Trad music. All of them said that we would be welcomed in and asked to join. They said it and it was so. I...
songlines Says: On the N71 between Ballydehob, Co Cork, and Bantry, the road sign shows that the speed-limit is 100km/hr, this is very misleading as the road, quite narrow for miles on end and also climbing is full of bends that could trow you out dangerously if you were going anymore than...

Frozen in Time - Yet thoroughly Modern
Skibbereen was a "faery-led" find. Our plan had been to drive the west coast of Cork in search of the Ruins of one of our trip mate's ancestral home. We stopped in for a bite and found ourselves still...
