Every staff member we encountered was incredibly kind and cordial. The facilty is absolutely besutiful and the location is super conveniently located close to town centre. The pool area is really cool because you can seim laps, dip in the jacuzzi, or sit in the sauna or steam bath. There are also plenty of local residents with memberships for the gym and pool area who are really friendly and cool to chat with which might have been my favorite part. Oh, and it is family frienfly with a playgtound and other kid stuff.

Swim times

We wanted to go swimming with the kids Sunday morning, as every parent knows kids wake early, but they weren’t allowed in the swimming pool until 10am, most will swim for an average of an hour meaning we had to rush back to our room shower & pack before we had to check out at 12, don’t see why families would be made rush like this, 9am would be much better suited to families staying at hotel & wanting to swim

Ok hotel - no care from staff

The hotel is OK - dated and small bathrooms but OK. They are failed by the total lack of service or care from staff. Arrived solo in the rain, asked for help bringing bags up from the open car park. Despite 2 on reception and a trolley nearby I was told I had to being them inside and then they might help! During my stay I thought I'd lost something important, I asked 2 people at reception if it had been handed in, both had a quick look around and advised 'no'. Neither asked for my name or room so they could let me know if it turned up later. First night of my stay the fire alarm went off at 5am. All guests gathered outside - not a hotel employee or even the fire brigade in sight. The reception desk had a phone with instructions to dial 0 for help - it went to voicemail. Of course it was a false alarm - was there any apology or even acknowledgment later from management? No. The room was not cheap due to it being a busy time in Bantry. If they're going to charge top dollar, how about top dollar equivalent in service!

Good stay

We had a good stay in the Westlodge. The room was clean and comfortable and the cost for the 2 nights was reasonable. Breakfast had a great choice. We had food in the bar and it was good. The pool was ok, nothing amazing but a nice additional to the hotel.
