Ok hotel - no care from staff
Pros:

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
Pros:

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.

Perfect hotel for our tour of West Cork
Pros:

We enjoyed our stay at Westlodge. There are great facilities, pool, steam room, sauna, pitch and putt etc.

We had a triple room which was spacious and very clean. Overall the cleanliness at the hotel was superb. The staff are friendly. We had the added bonus of a singer every evening after dinner.

It is an easy walk along the beautiful bay into Bantry(takes 25mins). Very close to Bantry House.
