Family of 2 Adults and 2 Children, Age 4 & 1. Stayed two nights in a family room. Rooms not very spacious and old style but very clean. Eat in Bar & Restaurant and found the food up to a very good standard. Pool area once again very clean and pool staff were very friendly and professional. Staff in Hotel were very helpful and nothing was a problem. We had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend the Westlodge to any family.

Checked in on the 4th of May for 2 nights with my wife. Staff were friendly and nice, the hotel is old and out dated. Room was not as clean as one would have expected also there were no clean towels or loo roll. Lots of kids running around the place all weekend so if its a romantic break for 2 your after then give this hotel a skip. I certainly wont be returning....

i stayed in the westlodge with my 2 daughters and we had a brilliant time. it is an incredibly child friendly hotel. the pools are great as there are 2 different sized kiddies pools and the adult pool is vast. there is a games room for the kids to play in and a dvd was played on one of the evenings. the grounds to the hotel are lovely for walks. the hotel definitely could do with an update - the rooms are very basic, but with kids thats probably not a bad thing. the staff were very friendly and the food was very good. i would deifinitly return with my children but probably wouldnt got for a romantinc break there.

We went on a Lydl 4 day B&B break in the Wesrlodge hotel, Bantry the end of January 2012. We had one of the best experiences of our lives. The hotel stands on a hill with splendid views. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The Spa and sports centre were exceptionally clean and well run. We particularly liked the swimming pools layout, as it had steps into the water, a great help if you are disabled. We had the warmest welcome from the staff, who went the extra mile to help make our stay memorable. The reception were particularly helpful as we wanted to visit some of the less well known archeological sites in the area. There was a good selection of breakfast fare. We ate dinner in the restaurant and the bar and both were very good. Most food was sourced locally and made for delecious well presented meals, with good value for money. The staff were also good at recomending restaurants in Bantry town. We did not have children with us but there seemed to be plenty of activities and amenities for them and special offers on meals. We would definitely book this hotel again.

We were delighted with our stay in the Westlodge - rooms need to be updated - menu needs to be varied a bit more for the restaurant - however the staff were second to none and the lady at reception (Indian lady - sorry did not get her name) on check in was very professional and very friendly - I would recommend this hotel for its location as it is ideal for travelling all around West Cork and the staff.

This hotel was in a superb location for touring around the Beara Peninsula. The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. Our room was spotless and bright. Dining/breakfast room had wonderful views looking down towards Bantry Town and bay. Ate in the Bar one night and have no complaints regarding the food. You can walk into the town from this hotel in about 15minutes, which is really a lovely scenic walk. This is a very good basic three star hotel, relaxed, comfortable and down to earth. Would stay here again.

My husband, 11 yr old daughter and myself spent 3 very comfortable nights at the Westlodge Hotel. Our room was spotlessly clean on arrival and cleaned after breakfast every morning. The buffet breakfast was really lovely, catering for all tastes and ages. The weather wasn't great while we were there so it was fantastic to have use of a really nice pool, whirlpool spa, sauna, etc. The games room was also invaluable for keeping our daughter entertained. We found the hotel to be child friendly and the staff very pleasant and helpful. The bar food menu was varied and reasonably priced and we enjoyed it on 2 of the evenings... the chocolate fudge cake and hot chocolate was a great hit with our daughter! We would definitely recommend the Westlodge Hotel in Bantry and will be returning in the future.

The hotel staff were very friendly,the food provided for the breakfast was pleasant and abundant. The bar food was average and the fish dishes were very disappointing and the fish and chips tasted like Birdseye frozen fish. The leisure center was excellent and quite modern. The reception was welcoming. Once you start your journey to your bedroom, you will be appalled by the decor that greets your eyes. The hotel's bedrooms are stuck in the eighties and carpet drapes the floors, it needs to be revamped.

As value for money goes our break represented excellent value for money. Wonderful buffet breakfast, room clean and certainly adequate. Wonderful friendly and helpful staff and great nightly entertainment. Didnt get the opportunity to use the leisure centre. Wonderfully located for exploring West Cork.Delighted to see that the tourist industry is reacting so effectively to the downturn and offering such excellent value like we got here.

Spent 3 nights in the West Lodge hotel, and 3 nights in the Pond Lodge Cottages on the grounds of the hotel. Really enjoyed the stay. The staff are really friendly, helpful and accommodating. The food in the hotel is really good, although there could be a little more choice on the menu. The leisure centre is well run and clean.
Entertainment is provided every night in the lobby. However there is nowhere quiet to have a drink since the main bar Hannie Murphys is closed and only seems to open for private functions. Overall it was great value and would return.

Used this hotel as a base for daily penninsula hopping in west cork/kerry. Fantastic choice as it catered for all our needs. Comfortable sleeping for 2 adults and two kids. Fabulous breakfast which set you up for the long day ahead. Well run leisure centre and pool, invigorating start to the day. Arrived back late every evening, just in time for a quick game of tennis. Athmoshere in hotel seemed calm, relaxed and friendly. Kiids seemed to be well catered for by the friendly staff. Will definitely use this hotel again..and if it looks the same in 10 years time, as it did 15 years ago, I'll savour the 80's decor and 14" tube TV nostalgia again.

<p>To be honest I didn't feel this was great value for money, the hotel is badly in need of renovation. I booked a family and requested a cot but we were placed on the 2nd floor (a flight of stairs with a buggy baby and other small child is no joke) We were advised to book dinner to avoid dissapoinment, that evening there were 2 families in restaurant and when we checked out we got a bill for %u20AC80.00 for our dinner (2 x soup, roast beef (pub carvery) and ice cream)no price on the menu...... now I know why! Live entertainment was a young boy singing. The leisure centre was good but no swimming ring was allowed for my 2 year old(too dangerous), only the baby seat ring for the 7 month infant. Overall not a great experience :-(</p>

<p>We had a very nice stay at The Westlodge.
The Hotel location is ideal for the West Cork area - and also there is a beautiful Sea view over the Bay from the main Dining/Breakfast Room.
The Breakfast was very nice with lots of variety and the option of a full fry or healthy fruit and cereal etc.
We ordered from the Bar Menu one evening and the Food was very, very nice - I had a Steak that was perfectly cooked and presented!!!
Leisure Centre is very nice and very well maintained re. cleanliness etc. - Our 5 year old was given a complimentary hour long swimming lesson which she loved and we greatly appreciated.
The only criticism I'd have and I only mention it in passing as it didn't matter in the least bit to me was that the Room itself was a little jaded, a refurb is due but then again its tough times for the Hotel Industry so I'm inclined to forgive them it....... I also don't like to spend time in Hotel Rooms and the location more than made up for it.
I'd stay again without any hesitation.</p>

Set on thirty acres it has pitch and putt, swimming pool, sauna, steam room, games room, playground and i'm sure there is more. Staff are very good and helpful. The bar had music on during mid week and it was child friendly up until 11.30. Breakfast was good. Hotel looks a bit dated from the outside but don't let this put you off. Two thumbs up. I will be going again next year.</p>

<p>Clean, old fashioned hotel situated on the outskirts of the town of Bantry. Not as child friendly as we were lead to believe, hotel website was not at all accurate. Pool was tiny and did not open till 10.30 a.m., 'Play Room' consisted of a room the size of a shoe box with a few toys on the floor, no seating. Food was very nice and staff were lovely but there was a wedding on the weekend we were there and we were told we could not eat until 8 p.m. With a 2 year old, 7 and 8 year old this was ridiculous. Entertainment in the evening - set dancing - was in the main bar and children were not allowed in which was disappointing and with no dvd player in family room we were left to either go to bed or sit in reception. This hotel is suited to adults, I would only recommend it to people who are interested in spending most of their time in Bantry town itself. </p>
