Beautiful views, gracious hosts, peace and tranquillity. Lovely breakfast. We would definitely stay here again when we return to the area.
We loved Kathleen. She was an excellent host, the breakfast was delightful, and she had such wonderful recommendations for where to go. Highly recommend.
Liebevoll ausgestattetes Zimmer, perfekte und herzliche Gastgeber, die ein unglaubliches Frühstück zaubern und tolle Ausflugstipps geben, man fühlt sich sehr willkommen. Dazu noch der atemberaubende Meerblick...wir kommen wieder! Wir haben im Pub im Ort bei Mary Anns sehr gut gegessen, danke für die Empfehlung .
Le meilleur B'nB de notre séjour en Irlande. Nos hôtes étaient charmants, très accueillants, passionnés par leur région et de très bons conseils pour découvrir l'endroit. Chambre et petit-déjeuner parfaits! Emplacement très calme et bucolique avec vue sur la mer, idéal pour se ressourcer.
Accueil chaleureux de notre hôtesse. Succulent petit déjeuner, servi avec attention. Des conseils pour découvrir la région.Tout était parfait.

Absolutely wonderful stay at Atlantic House B&B, the owners Kathleen and John are the exceptionally kind, welcoming and helpful. The rooms are spotless clean, comfortable and the breakfast is delicious, tasty and there is plenty of choice for everyone. Gluten free was catered for no problem. Many nice spots (beach and gastropub) nearby. Book you stay here don't even think twice.
Everything was perfect.
Kathleen and John were fantastic hosts, they couldn't have been more helpful. When a trip was cancelled due to weather, they helped with checking weather forecasts and even phoned around other B&Bs to help find convenient accommodation to fit around our rebooked excursion. Breakfast was lovely (the fruit salad is a MUST :-)) and the room was spacious and clean. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone. Thank you Kathleen and John!
Kathleen and John really know their stuff when it comes to hosting. You can tell they’ve been doing this for a while—they just get it. We had such a great stay; they go out of their way to make you feel totally at home. And a special shoutout to John,Kathleen and my wife for surprising me with cupcakes on my birthday, such a thoughtful touch that made the day extra sweet.
Nothing to not like
We loved everything about our stay!!!!
There was absolutely nothing to dislike!!!!
The breakfast was excellent, beautifully presented and with lots to choose from. Kathleen was a pleasure to deal with and a great source of local knowledge and information.
We were very happy with every aspect of our stay.
Nothing to complain about, I have no words to describe everything. Kathleen, the host is very kind and helpful. Very clean rooms, clean and fresh towels. Courtyard full of flowers, sea view. Delicious breakfast. 10/10. We will definitely recommend to friends.
Lovely house with fantastic view. Very clean, Kathleen very friendly and offered advice on where to go locally Excellent breakfast too

Lovely house in Castletownshend on the West Cork coast. Spotless clean rooms with sea view. Kathleen is the perfect host, she drove me to the Woodcock Smokery (where I had reserved my dinner) and she came to pick me up. The breakfast in the morning was fab, plenty of choices, everything homemade and delicious! I will visit again!
Nothing, everything was perfect.
Liked everything! All great
Liked everything!
What can I say that hasn't already been said? Kathleen made us feel so welcome. The room was immaculate, everything very clean. Everyone who stays is made to feel so special. John's breakfast is the best we'd experienced on our trip. If you're ever in the area check this B & B out. You won't be disappointed!
No complaints.
Attention to detail was excellent. everything surpassed our expectations. Breakfast was fantastic cooked by john.
nothing really host had everything covered
Very clean. Very friendly. The owner looked after us very well. Good location near the sea.
Nothing to say. Everything was excellent!
Very welcoming and relaxing stay. The hosts were lovely.
A Lovely Host who made you feel welcome Comfortable and spacious room Great Breakfast Selection
Wonderful hosts who were so kind and helpful 😁
Great sea views. Quiet and peaceful, the room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good. Kathleen is an excellent host and makes the best croissants!
Lovely setting and the bed was very comfortable. Kathleen was a great host and gave some very good recommendations for trips out and things to see. Breakfast was delicious! (John’s work I believe).
Nothing to report.
Beautiful views and a wonderful owner
Everything was gorgeous
We had a wonderful stay! Kathleen was a lovely host,very welcoming, gave us great recommendations for day trips, places to eat and sites to visit nearby. Her husband made us an outstanding breakfast! The house as well as the surrounding area are beautiful. Everything was clean, comfortable and very homey.
The hosts Kathleen and John are super hosts. Kathleen even made reservations for us at a local restaurant and then put together a 3 day itinerary for our stay. The breakfast was delicious each day and the coffee/tea setup in the room was wonderful. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend this B&B to anyone we know traveling in the Skibbereen area.

This was a perfect stay. We had a lovely warm welcome from Kathleen. The breakfasts offered good variety and excellent quality ingredients. The house was scrupulously clean and warm, the beds very comfortable and the decor pleasant. Kathleen was interesting and interested and gave us lots of useful information. John had done much of the work in making the house so nice and cooked for us. We had such a comfortable and relaxing stay for 3 nights. We really appreciated the supplies of fresh milk and well water in our fridge!
Can't think of anything we didn't like. Kathleen went out of her w ay to be helpful, even finding a home for our drpping waterproofs.
I always enjoy my stay and feel welcome at Atlantic House, beautiful accommodation and sea views, amazing hosts and great food! Thanks again Kathleen and John
Kathleen was the most amazing host. She answered all my pre-arrival questions and was so helpful when we thought at one point we might need to get a delivery to us there. She knows how to make guests feel not just welcome but special too. Breakfasts were amazing, and Kathleen went to tremendous lengths to cope with the Gluten Free request for one of our party - that was really appreciated. Castletownshend is a bit out of the way but definitely worth the effort getting there. It's such a beautiful part of the world.
Two of the three of us liked the beds, one found theirs too hard. Personal choice, that's all. There was nothing else to complain about, it was all just so nice.
Bright, comfortable and clean. Our host Kathleen could not have done more for us. The house is in a quiet location but is an easy drive to many interesting spots. Breakfasts were delicious.
Nothing
Kathleen is a great host, with a warm welcome and lots of information. Lovely view from the room to the sea. The breakfast is superb with a fruit plate beautifully presented and about 10 different fruits in small slices. And the freshly squeezed orange juice. There is also a lounge for guest use as there are no chairs in the room. Short drive to the village and the pub.....book early!
Nothing
Amazing amazing host and location. Kathleen went above and beyond.
The very warm welcome from both Kathleen and John. Food and accommodation just amazing. All the extra thought given to all the finer details to make our stay comfortable . Just loved chilled water and fresh milk ready waiting for us in the fridge.
Nothing
Kathleen was incredibly warm, friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, comfortable and immaculately clean. We had a beautiful view of the ocean from the window.
Friendly host Great Location Excellent food Comfortable clean rooms
It is such a pleasure to spend a few nights here. Kathleen is a wonderful host, the surroundings are so scenic with sea across the road and lots of light and views of nature from the windows. The breakfast is the best I have ever had in a BnB. You can easily walk into the village to eat and have a drink. We return here whenever we travel to West Cork, which we love, the location is great for touring. We were able to charge our EV without any delay in nearby Skibbereen.
it was perfect, nothing to not like.
Breakfast was excellent and the host Kathleen couldn't do enough for us .lovely location
Very peaceful and relaxing, Kathleen and John could not have been more helpful. Genuine and friendly, nothing was too much trouble and are wonderful ambassadors for their beautiful country. It is a great place to use as a base for exploring all the wonderful places around county Cork and beyond.
We had a lovely stay at the B&B. Kathleen offered great hospitality and was very kind. She gave us some advice on sights to see in the area. Breakfast was served à la carte and freshly prepared every morning - we enjoyed every bit of it! Our room had ocean view, it was very clean, had everything in it that we needed. There is also a fridge which can be used together with other guests. We personally loved the location as it was very quiet but still everything was easy to reach by car (next city to buy groceries etc. is Skibbereen).

Breakfast was great. We were given several options. Plenty of food.
Everything was perfect. The owner was exceptionally pleasant and gave us lots of information as what to visit. We stayed there for 9 days Sad to leave such a pleasant place and nice people. We loved Katherine.
Lovely B&B. Very clean Kathleen was so friendly
B&B was 3k away from local pub and restaurant. Very dark road back with no foot path. No taxis. Katleen kindly collected us from pub one evening
Ideal position, a family feel to the property, everything we needed in the room, superb views
Lovely location, clean and welcoming

Fantastic breakfasts. An absolutely beautiful place with a gorgeous view. Great conversation and shared interests. Recommendations for dining and places to visit were superb. Thanks so much for a delightful stay!
Everything was lovely.
staff/owner & breakfast
tiny minuscule bed
The hosts was lovely, it felt like we was coming home. So cosy, high quality bedding, furnishings, food etc
That I had to come back to my house 🤣🤣
Excellent breakfast, Beautiful accommodation
Everything perfect
Fresh milk in fridge on landing great addition. Very comfortable sitting room for guests and spacious breakfast area. Breakfast food quality excellent. WiFi fast downstairs. Attentive host. Breakfast available at decent time.
Wi-Fi signal very weak to unusable in room 3. Breakfast menu ordering style perhaps not to everyone’s taste (vs cereal buffet) Breakfast filter coffee on the weaker side. Squeaky bathroom floor in room 3 quite annoying.
We would highly recommend staying here. Easy to find, has parking and spotlessly clean. The hosts Kathleen and John were lovely and welcoming. Breakfast was lovely, highly recommend the fruit salad.
Nothing
A home away from home, very comfortable with a wonderful host. Thank you Kathleen for your warm hospitality.
Breakfast was superb with an almost unlimited choice and always freshly cooked. You were never short of food or drink. The service by Kathleen the host was so personal and friendly. The room was extremely well furnished with all the necessary comforts provided.
There was nothing we did not like except having to leave to move onto our next destination!!
Lovely location and very comfortable
Quiet and peaceful. Great host
Excellent
Step into bedroom could be hazardous Likewise one from bathroom down into bedroom Consider putting a handrail in both these locations
Kathleen and John were wonderful hosts during our stay. Kathleen's tips really helped us make the most of our time in West Cork. We enjoyed the quiet location of the B&B, which was also convenient for visiting places like Lough Hyne, Baltimore, Skibbereen, and Mizen Head. The breakfasts were fantastic and a great start to our days. Highly recommend for a peaceful stay in the area.
Kathleen was a welcoming and knowledgeable host. Everything was just perfect. Breakfast was amazing and the break room was outstanding. Wonderful view of the cliffs and the sea from our room.

Katheleen is amazing, such a nice person. Amazing view to the sea, super nice beach at the bottom of the road. The room was so nice and quite, had an amazing quite time. The breakfast was proper to a cyclist. Loved every bit of my stay
I loved my stay at Atlantic House, Kathleen and John are wonderful. Always very caring and welcoming. The house is beautiful, spotless, really comfy beds. I slept better than anywhere else I've stayed. Delicious breakfast set me up for the day kayaking. Look forward to staying again.
The house is beautiful and spotless and the rooms are lovely. The bedrooms are nice and big and the beds are comfortable and the bathroom is nice and spacious. The breakfast is delicious. Kathleen is lovely and couldn't do any more for us and was great at letting us know where the best places to see are. It was one of the nicest place's that we have ever stayed in.
Very organised, clean, and comfortable. Hosts were friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
A wonderful and welcoming stay for a wedding! We had a fabulous time with outstanding hospitality.
Warm, friendly owners. Stunning location. Will be staying again at nearest opportunity 😁
We had to leave so soon
The sea views were fabulous and our host Kathleen gave us a very warm welcome and was so helpful. The Irish Breakfast in the conservatory looking out onto the ocean was just perfect. Would definitely stay here again next time we’re in the area.
The property was easy to find. The room was great. The owner was very courteous and nice. Highly recommended!
Kathleen and John do a fantastic job. Very clean and they are so friendly. Love the milk in the fridge for cups of tea. Also lots of choice for breakfast. Would highly recommend to anyone. Close to a beach for those who are brave enough to swim in the sea.
Nothing at all
Expect a warm, genuine welcome; high quality accommodation; great breakfast in a beautiful location with great ocean views. Kathleen and John couldn't have done more for us and it was a real home from home. We stayed a week and definitely hope to come back one day.
All very comfortable and our host was really lovely and helpful
The hosts are very friendly and welcoming. The fridge with fresh milk and water was a lovely thought. The room was very comfortable. The location is perfect. It's within walking distance of Castletownsend. There are also beaches nearby.
Perfect location, and an even better host. Sea view room and exceptional breakfast!
Lovely location with a very helpful and thoughtful host. Our expectations were exceeded and we had a very pleasant break. The bed was so comfortable that I had the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a while.
The shower is very powerful. The breakfast was amazing! The host was really helpful and nice! Plus, the tv has Netflix. It is a surprise for us.
