Church Restaurant


Skibbereen
06/08/2025: Main reason for 1 star is at the very bottom of my review. We had dinner here recently. This restaurant had been recommended to us by a friend who's from Skibbereen, a family member who has been here, and a random person from reddit. We were really looking forward to it. I can't honestly say that there was anything wrong. I just can't honestly say there was anything to write home about. What we ate: Black pudding with brie and mustard sauce Brie with berry compote Beef featherblade Breaded fish and chips The black pudding was good. Big portion. Tasty. The brie was a humongous portion. About 2/3 of a wedge you'd normally see in the supermarket. The cheese was nice but the compote was a little bland. The beef was good. Really nice hearty dish. Came with plenty veg. Way way to much potato. The was a lot of mash on the plate and it came with a creamy garlic gratin as well. One or the other would have been perfect. My husband had the fish and chips. I am very picky about the kind of fish I eat so I didn't taste it. He described it to me as "donegal catch". The chips looked a little sad. Other than the food, the atmosphere was a little noisey. The restaurant was incredibly warm. We found it to be uncomfortably so, to the point that we finished our drinks outside in the rain. Service was good. Only issue I had, which I think is a pretty big issue, is that when paying the bill, I wanted to leave a tip. I told the server who was taking my payment, and she said thank you but its cash only. Now, I could be wrong but my understanding is that if I want to leave a tip on my card, that's my choice, and that since 2022, workers are legally entitled to receive their electronic tips. I know this might be a bit of a pain for management, but I dont think that's a good enough excuse.
02/08/2025: We had the most fabulous meal last Thursday night. The fish was so amazing I can't wait to go back again. Christine was such a beautiful person. She could not do enough. She made our visit to the Church restaurant a special one. Thank you.

West Cork Hotel


Skibbereen
01/08/2025: we had an outstanding weekend stay over at the West Cork Hotel. It had been 10 years since our last visit and it was even more charming than before. Tremendous service, a great Irish breakfast in the morning and a wonderful location combined with an extremely attentive and responsive staff contributed to an outstanding experience! I highly recommend the West Cork Hotel to anyone looking for a place to stay while visiting one of the most enjoyable parts of Ireland.

Annie Mays Bar


Skibbereen
10/08/2025: Make sure when you book for dinner that you check they have written it down in the book. We showed up with a big party - having booked a month in advance - and were turned away with the implication that we had made it up. No apology - somewhat lacking in people skills.
13/07/2025: We stayed here for one night. The room was fresh, the location was central and the breakfast was good! Good service!

The Restaurant at Liss Ard


Skibbereen
23/06/2025: Incredible place. But a stifling hot room - with heating on and, madder still, fires lit at midsummer - meant that we couldn’t sleep and ended up walking around the grounds until 2am (which was magical). Coupled with disorganisation and poor communication with and between the staff meant for a chaotic stay. At this price it should be perfect. I offered the opportunity to discuss privately with a manager, but they never called back.
22/06/2025: 🌳✨ A Truly Exceptional Experience at Liss Ard Estate ✨🌳 From the moment you arrive at Liss Ard Estate, you’re embraced by an atmosphere of quiet opulence and timeless beauty. The hotel itself is exquisite — elegant, luxurious, and meticulously designed — complemented by a menu that showcases fabulous, locally inspired cuisine. But it’s the estate grounds that truly captivate. The serene beauty of the Sky Garden, the secluded passageways winding through ancient woodlands, and the picturesque lake create a magical sense of escape. Liss Ard is more than a hotel — it’s an experience, a place where nature and comfort come together in perfect harmony. From all of us at Mo Farm, a heartfelt thank you to the team at Liss Ard for an unforgettable stay. A truly exceptional destination that we highly recommend. 🌳🌅🍷

Leslie's Diner


Skibbereen
26/06/2024: Very tasty fish and chips! No pre-made stuff, everything fresh. Other pubs and restaurants can't compete with that. The ambiance isn't great, even for a snack bar. The owner, however, is very friendly!
