Leslie's Diner

Cre Pottery Studio
Skibbereen
08/02/2025: My wife and I just did a 1 hour Pottery throwing lesson. Our tutor was Sophie and it was absolutely fantastic. We both really enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend you give it a go.
28/09/2024: Amazing place to go and paint your own pottery from a very large range of things to choose from . You can drink tea /coffee while you paint. The staff there are really helpful but also leave you you alone while you work .you can also go on the pottery wheel if you wish . This place is about 2 hours from where I live but it is totally worth the journey

Annie Mays Bar
Skibbereen
29/12/2024: If I could give zero stars I would.
Cancelled my booking just 1.5 days before our New Years Eve trip for a close friends wedding, leaving us with nowhere to stay and slim chances of getting something on such a busy night at such short notice. Cited priority for booking.com customers - I had booked on the phone months before.
Despicable customer service.
07/11/2024: Myself, my husband and our 2.5 year old stopped in for a quick soup while out running errands. The barman was very attentive making sure our little fella was well looked after too.
We had a veg soup and chips. Soups was really tasty and not like the imitation baby food ya get in most places. The chips were skin on skinny chip with a decent amount too. They were great. My husband loved the MUG of great coffee.
They pull a good pint too.

JC's Takeaway
Skibbereen
15/03/2025: Tried to use the dial in service rang twice and was put on hold for 5 minutes each time. During this time I could overhear staff and customer conversations. Might be better if you attend in person but there is the potential for your conversation to be overheard. So choose your words and who you talk about wisely.
02/02/2025: Food actually wasn’t bad, the lady at front of house was. Ordered our food and 2 cans of coke which were out of date with a month, when I told the lady that I am pregnant and she sold them which were out of date she goes sorry do you want another one- didn’t seem genuine pretended like she didn’t know they were gone off and still didn’t take them out of the fridge!
Won’t be the last they’re hearing from me if I get sick… careful lads what else is out of date in there… turned me off going back

Applebettys Cafe
Skibbereen
30/12/2024: Excellent cafe with great atmosphere. We had veg soup with fabulous brown bread and cappuccinos last Friday. It was so busy but everyone was accommodated in an easy manner. Tables rearranged for bigger/smaller groups and lots of chat too.
24/10/2024: A really lovely spot for a good wholesome bite to eat. Very tasty food, reasonably priced for the lovely dishes served up. Great service, the gentleman serving us was very polite and friendly to all customers and helped to great that lovely relaxed atmosphere. Coffee 👌 holidaying in Schull and this place was so good, we travelled back a couple of days later, we enjoyed it that much 😊

The Restaurant at Liss Ard
Skibbereen
12/02/2025: Beautiful estate and landscape with trails and James Turrell Sky Garden. The chef at the restaurant worked without prior notice to give us exceptional vegan options and also accommodating my food allergies. Wonderful library. We will return.
10/02/2025: We had a very relaxing stay, thanks to the hotel’s limited number of rooms, which made for a peaceful atmosphere. The open fire in the evening was a lovely touch, adding to the cozy ambiance. Our room was modern and well-equipped, complete with a Nespresso coffee machine. However, there was an unpleasant smell in the room, which may have been due to animals being allowed to stay there.
The staff were very helpful and friendly throughout our stay, which made a big difference. However, dining options were quite limited. The only available choice was the restaurant menu, which doesn’t cater to all needs. For example, after a late lunch one day, we wanted a small bite in the evening but found there was no bar menu—only the full restaurant menu, which is quite expensive for the portion sizes. Given that there are also limited dining options locally in Skibbereen town, it would be helpful if the hotel offered a more flexible bar menu.
That said, the hotel’s grounds are beautifully maintained, with lovely walking trails that add to the charm of the location. Overall, it’s a great place to unwind, with excellent service, but a few improvements in dining options and room freshness would make the experience even better.

Geralds Delicatessan & Restaurant
Skibbereen
01/04/2025: A local spot I get lunches/breakfast for the office - and myself too! Such a great service every single time and fresh pastries, sandwiches, salads and great coffee too. They have lovely weekly special sandwiches as well. Even though I order for collection as our office is just across the street - they always just pop in and deliver it to us. It’s a pleasure to be supporting a local business who do their best for their customers!
11/03/2025: The sandwich are very good, if somewhat on the pricey side. However, in terms if vlaue, it holds up very well against the competition, many of whom charge nearly as much for an inferior product
