West Cork Hotel!
Everyplace was gleaming. The staff were very friendly and helpful to me. I was told the time to move my car from being parked beside the hotel, to the Hotel car park. I really enjoyed my two night stay at the West Cork Hotel. I hope to be back again sometime.

Phone not working in room. Even when a replacement phone was requested it was not acknowledge by the duty manager. A very important feature for a. Couple in their 80's. Noise from adjoining room at 3am- could not complain because their was no phone available. Ticking noise from smoke detector which I understand affected anumber if other guests and eventually repaired. They did give us a discount for the inconvenience though .
