4 Star Hotels in Skibbereen, County Cork

"Beautiful hotel located on the Dunmore bay. Our family room had a lovely view on the ocean. The room is peaceful and very big, with a separate space and a double bed for the kids. The hotel lobby and restaurant are well decorated and very cosy. We had dinner in the casual dining area. They should find another name because ’casual’ doesn’t do it justice: it’s lovely, cosy and the food is great. But most of all, the staff was really great: very professional and friendly. We’d all love to go back. "

"Beautiful property, and friendly, efficient service. "

"The lobby with the open fire and gorgeous decor was very inviting and cosy especially with the weather outside being cold and icy. The room was lovely and clean and comfortable and the staff were all very welcoming and helpful. We had a lovely stay and will definitely return when we are next visiting the area. We didnt get a chance to visit the bar or restaurant this time but we are looking forward to trying them in the future. The pool and jacuzzi were also very nice and clean and not too busy. "

"It was amazing, friendly staff and facilities were great, not forgetting great food and bar."

"Everything was just nice."

"Very enjoyable, "

"Staff very helpful and friendly. We were a bit disappointed in our original room so they offered a really nice alternative."

"This place has amazing potential. Sadly it does not live up to it. We were put in a "cozy" room," and were told these rooms were for their cost conscious (cheap/poor?) visitors. The next room up was not much more expensive, but unavailable. There was barely room to move around the bed. There was a kettle and coffee machine that had no outlet near them, and no surface large enough to place them to plug them in, and the coffee machine had a continental European plug in any case. The food was bad. My partner's breakfast omelette was crusty on the outside, with a slab of molten, chewy cheese on the inside. We won't even talk about lunch. It was inedible. My partner, who feels disloyal to his dead mother when he leaves anything on his plate, sent back a near full lamb dish. When we had an issue and said something, we were made to feel it was our fault for not appreciating this place. That's a weird flex for a service industry. On the plus side, the staff were generally extremely helpful and pleasant, and seemed to enjoy their jobs. The land is spectacular. The sky garden, which is on the estate, is stunning. It is looking a bit worn though, the browning grass and divots up the side. There is a wonderful set up by the lake with exercise rooms, a pay-per-visit sauna, stand up paddle boards, and a small boat. Great drinks and a skilled bartender. This hotel could be really special, but there is just something not coming together. "
