Great Pub in the centre of Skibbereen town. A great selection of gin and the barman Dermot was very friendly and informative. We were there for the acoustic sessions in the main bar on the Sunday evening. Great vibe and good banter with the locals. A must visit if you are visiting West Cork!

The pottery studio had organised Covid measures very well and the staff were very welcoming. The pottery painting is great fun, relaxing and a lovely way to spend an hour or two. We were a group of 6 adults and we had lots of fun, but undoubtedly children would love it also. Well organised, not too expensive and a lovely personal souvenir of your holidays to bring home. You do need to plan this though because the pottery needs to be glazed and fired, so you call back to the studio after about 3 days to pick it up. However, if that doesn't fit with your schedule, the studio will ship it to you (don't know if there is an extra cost for this, as we didn't need to).
