Easily spotted on an elevated site above the main road into Bantry, the Westlodge Hotel seems to have thought of all the possible requirements to make a family holiday successful, regardless of weather conditions.
A wide range of outdoor activities can be organised, including golf, water sports, horse riding and pony trekking. But - and this is the hotel's greatest strength - there's also plenty to keep energetic youngsters happy if the weather should disappoint, including a 16m swimming pool in the leisure centre.
Bedrooms have all been fairly recently refurbished and there is 24-hour room service.
The restaurant is well-positioned to take advantage of the view of the bay.
